Gifts With Broad Appreciation

Cassie received a Keurig coffee maker for Christmas.  We’re ALL so happy about it!  Even though most of us, including myself, don’t drink coffee, the instant hot water for tea & cocoa is impressive.  Tonight I made myself a cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate – so cinnamony good!   In the mornings, Cassie will sometimes mix hot chocolate with a little coffee to take on her trolley ride to school.  Apparently, her friends are raving about this combo and have said they’ll pay her $2 a cup if she brings them some.   Too funny!

Mark gifted me with a Nutrimill Grain Mill.  Since we traveled to Oregon for the holidays, we opted to order it upon our return …. and it arrived yesterday!   I’ve been reading and watching videos, but haven’t turned its speediness on yet.  We love fresh baked bread here, and whole grain is the ultra best, so it’ll be grinding soon.  I’m especially happy about being able to share the warm soft goodness more frequently with our neighbors!

Looks like great gifts! That grain grinder is so cool! I've never heard of one of those!

You're the second person in the last week that's talked about grinding their own wheat to make home made bread. Wow!

Love my grinder! It's a different kind from yours - but I know a lot of people who enjoy the nutrimill. Have fun!
