Joan Didion and Coffee the Real Wake Up





I remember February 23, 1978. That is the day author Joan Didion came to San Francisco State University to read her work. I was a student then, majoring in creative writing.



There was a crowd. I remember trying to strain my neck and see her. I remember cupping my ears to hear her. I shoved my way to the front to be close to this amazing woman. I wanted to touch the hem of her garment and receive some sort of power. She was… Continue

Of Godshots and Angels...

Meeting with my Angel tomorrow. Been skimping, scrimping, begging, borrowing and credit card "loan" advancing for months attempting to get my 2nd CoffeeHouse open at my Roastery. Few weeks ago during lunch Debi was chatting with Beth, a long time co-worker, and in passing mentioned the challenges I was having. Out of the blue Beth said she could probably loan us the money. Paperworks all done, we're signing tomorrow. The final sprint to opening begins in earnest! (Hence my Event… Continue

Another way to enjoy coffee

"I was born and spent my pre-teen years on the island of Trinidad, in the Caribbean, and I have fond memories of coffee. Not the beans, the fruit.

For some reason, we never had real coffee in the house. My mom drank something called POSTUM, which was a kind of fake substitute made from ground-up car tires, or something like that."...Read More

Enjoy :-)

Health Dept regulations

I have a health inspector telling me that I have to place my bar rags in a sanitizing solution anytime they get wet. Since they get wet every time I prepare to froth milk, I'll always be wiping the wand with a rag wet in sanitizing solution. Have any of you had a similar experience with your health regulations?

Since I use bleach as my sanitizing ingredient, what is the possibility that it will leave a taste of chlorine in the milk? Does anyone know how to answer such questions?
