i'm currently starting another batch of cold press. i made a finer ground coffee this time, and increased the amount of coffee from 85g to 100g. i also decreased the water from 330ml to 250ml. so, hopefully i'll get a better coffee. i'll find out tomorrow!
also, i'm working on my Deutsch! a co-worker is helping me learn. hopefully by the time i get back to Detuschland, i'll be able to communicate better (auf Deutsch).
On that thought; I'll be going back in late May. (master plan, May 26-June 15) If all goes according to plan, I'll be leaving in 334 days. Huzzah! (is it sad that i'm already starting a countdown?)
Last two thing, I promise.
1) In case you haven't had it, Stevia. Wonderful. And for me, it's Stevia season, 'cos I love it in my iced tea.
2) After two weeks of not walking (sorry body!) I'll be going back to walking every day again! yay!

a few thoughts
i attempted to make my own cold press coffee this weekend. my feelings
1) it is FAR too weak. recipe called for 85g of coffee to 1/3l of water. mix, let steep over night, and strain in the morning. THEN it called to dilute the coffee solution in half with water. i shall be adjusting.
2) it said to use a very coarsely ground bean. i'm going to go a bit finer than what i had.
3) i made my beverage with hemp milk. VERY good.
have you ever had hemp milk? if you haven't, give it a try!
other thoughts for the day
1) today is Rowen's "birthday" - she turns 2 today. now she can officially be considered an adult dog. she is certainly acting like it! we brought her to the pet store last night, and she picked out a new toy. a stuffed bear (and it was on clearance, too. my dog-ter is a fan of sales, like me!)
2) my throat hurts, or maybe it's my tongue. whichever, it's painful. and not much fun
3) i've had a headache since saturday morning, that hasn't gone away.
4) i found a random mushroom coral in my fishtank today. huzzah!
5) i'm tired. so i'm going to sleep incredibly early tonight.

absent. sorry!
i've been absent for the past few days, sorry!
i went to the doctor's office on tuesday, and it turns out that it was as i suspected. I have strep throat. i was put on a really high dose of amoxicllin (875mg 2x a day) and i am now finally having a normal sized tonsil, and the pain has almost left my ear/neck! hurrah!
i have, this week, walked to work three times, too! it's nice, and i'm excited to be sneaking in the miles. yay for that!
finally, i ordered a coffee maker on tuesday, and it arrived today. nothing as exciting as the fantastic jura we got to use in DE. but, it's not a bad little machine (a senseo) and as i ordered a few eco-pods, i can put my own favorite coffee flavors into it. par example, i can get some from Z's (my favorite shop) and then keep reusing the pods, so that i don't have to use so much waste!
ok, i'm going to go read, and drink some chocolate milk. gute N8!
