On Crunchy Coffee & Cilantro

I think my favorite shared-on-the-blog experiences are the Blue Goo, and the Squirrel in the House at Christmas stories. What I didn't remember is that my brother had a bird in the house?

I’ve written about coffee and quilting before

There will be no quilting before coffee. Apparently this morning I needed coffee before coffee. Sometimes it happens ya know. Get busy the day before and forget to empty the coffee pot.
