Dreams Underfoot: UnquietDreams' Dark Whimsy

“I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”

Lavender cappuccino with just made lavender simple syrup.

I am not a sweet coffee guy. I prefer black, from a French press. But somebody got me thinking about this, so I made some simple syrup and steeped culinary lavender in it. I lost my espresso machine in the divorce, but the Mokapot does a good imitation (and looks way cool). Not too sweet, with some nice floral touches.
