catching up to old glory

after my recent rants on the horrors of supermarket canned coffee, mr. right, who loves the visual, sends a link to the package museum. isn't the old a&p can cute?

yes it is; and at that time, the coffee was better, too! speaking of better canned coffee, i was delighted to receive don schoenholt's gillies new "old glory" in civil-war-era-themed 13-oz. cans.

this new item is the famous "legendary blend" in 3 varieties -- one decaf, one fair-trade/shade-grown, and one regular. i can't wait to pop open the recyclable steel can and sample!

apparently this item is already flying off the shelves from fairway and some whole foods. ask for it there.

i think it's a great thing for specialty coffee-lovers trying to evangelize to their coffee-drinking friends who possess an emotional attachment to canned coffee! consider giving it as a gift and see if you make headway. . .

but in important chocolate news, coming up oct. 6-13, leonidas is having a sale at locations in nyc and chicago. a big bccy thanks to clay gordon for the heads-up.

and another bccy thank you to awesome altie roger barrett for alerting me to this article on yoga therapy and how it helps in multiple sclerosis. (you know, bugmenot.)
