coffee we are drinking this week:
This week we have been enjoying the Texas Coffee Traders Organic Market Blend that Jess sent me as part of the Austin to Boston Food Swap. This was a deceptively smooth blend. The beans, whole and when ground had the odor of a bold dark roast but the taste was far more subtle with floral and citrus notes. Just for the 'not as dark as you thought' surprise this was great!

I just "discovered" Joe Hill and finished his first novel, Heart Shaped Box. I just started Horns last evening.

Right after you left this comment I sat down and read the last 90-100 pages of Horns. It was a really good read, I hope you enjoy it!!
