I have a whole ritual for mine...with a special combination of coffee roasts, ground a certain way. I also have a special little sauce pan that I got a thrift store just for heating my milk (to make the perfect cafe au lait). The saucepan works as a timer too--I know that if I fill it up to a certain level and turn my stove on to 4 the coffee will be ready just as the milk gets hot. These days I'm poor so I have to buy cheap coffee, and I get up at the butt-crack of dawn to go to work. That means the french press is in the pantry. Now I use a cheap-ass Mr. Coffee drip machine that spits and leaks, but it brews the 9 cups that my husband and I need to make it through the day. Some day when life settles down a little bit and I can afford my whole-bean stuff I'll dig it out and indulge in the ritual. It's five minutes that can totally change your outlook on life. I'm feeling more peaceful just thinking about it... Nothing is better than french press coffee. I have a whole ritual for mine…with a special combination of coffee roasts, ground a certain way.

I wanted to let you know that I consider myself a well-adjusted adult, and think other people generally concur, and I had a dummy till I was five! My mum eventually made me leave them for Santa 'to take to the poor children in Africa'. My sister was SEVEN - also now a very normal person - when she finally kicked the habit. My mum put together a chart for her, where she got a star for every day she didn't have a dummy, with the prize of a Disney jewellery box if she held off for two weeks. She made it, but had misunderstood the deal - she thought she was getting her dummy back once the two weeks was up. My mum felt so bad for her that she gave her the dummy again! Anyway, just wanted to let you know - in case it was reassuring - from veteran dummy suckers that I wouldn't worry about your baby at all!!

I don't actually put sugar in my coffee because the many different flavored creams I use have enough sugar in them already. Anyway, I gave in today and made myself some with an International Delights Marshmallow Mocha... Ohhhhhhh sooooooo yummmmy. I have yet to try a french press but I too swoon over all things "Franch" so I'll have to give in one day and buy one. Have you tried cold pressed coffee? I heard it's the best... no bitterness whatsoever that even the biggest sugar in their coffee person can drink it sans the sweet stuff. Just a rumor. Love the pics as always... before I read your description of your hair and apron, I was thinking "awww, what a cute pic". I took 4 weeks off of coffee because I too cannot stand fake sugar.
