Bacon beets

He went to the grocery store to get food for dinner. This is what he came up with. Baked beets with bacon. A simple salad of beet greens and homefries of tiny purple and gold potatoes along side. I held bourbon egg nog while the kitchen filled with the aroma of earthy root vegetables and pork fat.

Bourbon Santos

A midday stovetop espresso of Bourbon Santos was enjoyed with a view of blowing snow and bright sun. The roasted beans, given with love, come from afar. Each black speck is valued in flavor and aroma. Day after day a blank brown bag is pulled open and deep shiny brown beans are ground. Course for quantity. Fine for boldness.


The journey begins

I am butt a mug, but I have a unique view. Whether I hold black gold or hop pop, I am held in high esteem. What unfurls here are my perspectives on beverages and the life they encounter. A wise women once said that the female form is a vessel. Of life and of beauty. My hope is that I'll capture some of both.
