live finches. . .

and the "ladies from hell." this oregon coffeehouse sounds just grand. i want one exactly like it here in new york. . .

also, welcome to all you first time bccy readers who are linking over from meetup. thanks for stopping by.

i hope to get materials soon on specialty coffee month, coming up in february. i'll post them here and link to them from my coffee.meetup.com personal notebook.

i'll have a lot to say about the specialty coffee month info when it arrives; i hope you'll look at it and considering voting yes to add it to the meetup agenda.

the scaa has a lot to offer and i think you'll be interested in the materials and the membership once you ponder it over your favorite cup.

now about those truffles i was going to make today. alas, my non-apple monitor gave up the ghost.

so i trucked down to j&r at noon to buy a new spiffy 20 in. apple beauty, only to discover the plug was incompatible with my g4 graphite.

by the time i priced the new monitor and the board i would have had to replace to use it, fuggedabudit, as we say in bklyn. it would have cost almost as much as a slice of goose paté at dean & deluca! my grandma just don't have 3 kidneys.

i now enjoy a nice 19 in. sony. but alas, no truffles now. . .this weekend, if the cream keeps.

one the other hand, i had a wonderful telephone conversation with jessica at batdorf again. she's the greatest!

i hope to soon sample her logo chocolates, made with guittard, as well another of her espresso blends. stay tuned to this page for a review.

and finally, what's up with new york? more new yorkers i hope will scurry over and represent on meetup -- that we couldn't have a coffee meetup in this java-lovin' town is shocking.

after all, we dutch new yorkers practically introduced the beverage to these tea-slurpin', li'l-pinkie-lifting english colonies. . .
