I had already been thinking about getting a French press and your comment has finally convinced me. I'm going to ask for one for Christmas. Grok - thanks! Yes, I definitely appreciated sleeping in my own bed again. Tracee - Although not always, of course, it is amazing how often 'afford' has more to priorities than money. I used to think I couldn't afford high quality food when actually it just wasn't a priority. As for hotels, it's nice to know you can pay $7 a night if you have to, and it's also nice not to have to!

I've noticed that in the last few years too. Eddie and I don't sleep well and feel hung over when we stay at cheap hotels. When traveling we'll pay the $100 a night to stay at a name brand place we know will be comfy. This completely goes against my otherwise cheap nature. Well, our dietary changes made in the last few years have as well. I guess food and a good nights sleep are a priority. Everything else comes from a flea market, garage sale or dollar store.

Looks beautiful there. It's nice to visit other places once in a while. gives you a new appreciation for what you have (like clean sheets). Welcome back. We don't have fat rice & bean butts here, but we have plenty of obese wheat faces ;) Congrats on your honeymoon! Looks beautiful there.

Try brewing it in a percolator or a french press.
