DIY French Press Cozy
My favorite gift this Christmas was the French press coffee pot Howie gave me. The reason is twofold. First, I’ve wanted a French press for years. They make a fantastic cup of coffee. Second, he got it for an insanely low price. I love a bargain, and he found this Bodum 12-cup model at the [...]

There’s just 24 hours left to vote for your favorite of Sarahbou in the Furry Four! Heh. Ask yourself, “who haven’t I told yet about this coffee-loving dog?” Do it for the children. Hey, our mothers are still alive – we’re children, right? The only thing I won’t do here is try and guilt you [...]
