krups 4 cup espresso maker (in black)

today, i had my first cup of homemade espresso.

i used trader joe's 5 country organic espresso blend coffee.

i used brita on-the-tap filtered water.

i used a nice floral pattern cup that is carla's.

verdict: me, two thumbs up. carla, two thumbs down.

she also likes her coffee so thick with sugar and milk you need a spoon. not that there is anything wrong with that. i'm just a black as night coffee drinker. unless it's iced, then i will go with a dash of cream.

which brings me to something that i wasn't quite aware of about oregon when i moved out here:
WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE DUNKIN DONUTS?

the closest one to me is about 70 miles away in salem! sev-freakin-enty miles from me.

i used to have a large iced coffee (maybe 2) almost everyday when i was working in w. newton.

it has been over 3 months since i lasted tasted that bland, boring deliciousness that is dunks.

ugh.

maybe trader joe's will open in salem and i can transfer there.

or i could win the lottery and just open my own, so i could have dunkins whenever i wanted.

a man can dream, though. a man can dream.
