Most of 2011 I spent working and preparing for marriage. Having a single wedding day requires much work to be done beforehand! It's just amazing how the weight of planning and preparation laid on our backs for most of the year, and evaporated within 24 hours, when it came. Settling into married life has been interesting... with much joy and a few arguments along the way.
Work has been... work: pumping out shots of organic, fairly traded espresso for the masses who don't care much about coffee's origins at all. I've undertaken quite a bit of the marketing "department" at the shop, which is at least a miniscule outlet for creativity. Besides that, it's making sandwiches, filling sacks with coffee beans, cooking bacon and whipping up 20 pounds of hummus at a time.
When do I figure out what I really want to do with my life?? 2012?
high adventure, fearless cooking, insight and humor accumulated throughout a 27-year journey...
