yoga for new mothers; nostalgic barrels

and today finds a great article on yoga for mothers, by dorie fox. she's a pal of mine and fellow yoga student in bklyn.

and speaking of friends in the news, here's a lovely bit on coffee author ("uncommon grounds") mark pendergrast's new book.

i must confess that i began this month by breaking into my stash of real jamaican blue mountain from don schoenholt's gillies coffee. (and yes, someday soon he'll get me an updated price list, i swear. . .) otherwise, i'd still be lying stunned on the kitchen floor in my tickle pink robe.

while everyone knows that jbm is rarely what it used to be and is probably overhyped, don does have a supply of enchanting stuff and he definitely knows what do with it.

so this morning i polished off a cafetiére. it's a sweet, mellow coffee, low-medium brightness, perfect for tumbling out of bed to on a cold sunny morning when you don't really want to go back to work after the holidays. . . a mild coffee to ease you back into the old routine.

i believe this morning's jbm is the reliable mavis banks m.b.c.f. grade #1. while some dismissively call it "a nice mexican coffee," i found it a little more special than that, personally!

but make no mistake -- when you buy jbm, you're certainly paying for those nostalgic little barrels -- for romance & memory.
