I'll have my Halloween entry done soon. I've been enjoying it; the words are flowing. As we know, they don't always.

Well done sir! May you continue to write for many years so you can eliminate the bunnies.

I pick this morning to sleep in and someone takes over the kitchen and coffee making. Good Job, Keep up the good work. I'll go back to bed.
I've got stuff to do today, but....
Well I am a great believer in old-fashioned gender roles in the kitchen ... aka I don’t trust men with coffee making

It's not the cup but the coffee within
It's not the cup but the coffee within.
Arabica beans, fair trade
organic and shade grown
often from a woman's cooperative in Peru
then roasted in small batches
by a local roaster.
I like mine dark
but my wife likes medium
so we alternate
or sometime mix the two.
The beans ground
medium-course
with a burr grinder
are placed in our
pre-warmed press pot
just before we brew,
and covered with
our non-chlorinated well water
which has been brought
just to the boil
then left for 45 seconds.
A pause, three to four minutes is best
but sometimes we can't wait,
before the plunger is pressed
and our morning elixir poured
into our waiting cups.
Mine was thrown
by a local potter
many years ago.
And yes we worry
that climate change
may ruin the source
of our morning addiction,
but we do our best
to tread lightly.

Well, judging by the pictures I've seen so far I'm all for letting you handle the coffee maker for a bit longer. Speaking of, can I get another cup? I'm on a nice writing streak but I can use a little boost. 1250 words written so far, which might not be a lot to some people here, but that's already more than my daily average. Let's see how far I can push this before it peters out.

Now now, you shouldn’t have such preconceived ideas Pixie. TxRad has done some excellent service here.
For instance, it’s generally thought that Pom’s have terrible food and have no idea about coffee, yet here you are whipping up a very nice Turkish brew. I could do with one before I face the auditors today.
Unfortunately it looks like the baklava’s gone missing
