My latest semi-obsession: lattes. I have started considering buying an espresso pot so I can make my own. I can get great lattes made with organic whole milk at Terra for $4+tax a pop. If I were to indulge twice a month, in a year, that'd be in the vicinity of $100 spent on high quality lattes. The above espresso pot costs $175. I created a "Want" bookmark folder on Lula yesterday just for the page it rests on in the internets.
If I stopped getting lattes out, this thing would pay for itself within two years. Food for thought. Why does it cost so much? You can read about it here.
I crept out of bed just past 7:30 which is early for us these days. My plans for the morning included getting Beyond Easy Pulled Pork into the slow cooker. The kids and I will be going out this afternoon and I need the timing of turning the heat down to "low" to work for while we're still home.
I didn't have chipotle powder or onion powder so I used the last of my Arizona Dreaming sample from Penzey's as a sub. This recipe is super simple. If the pork comes out as succulent as promised, I will agree that it was "beyond easy". Buy a big ol'pork butt, mix up the dry rub, rub it onto the pork, slice up two onions, put it all into the crock pot, and slow cook it for the day.
It's a quiet, gray morning here. The rest of the family has appeared one by one.
still waking up.
reading his morning wikis.
Cap's pancakes and waffles (available on select mornings).
Hope you are easing into your week with calm. Peace and love.
