Stuff
We went to the mall so I could get a haircut, long overdue. We came home with my hair cut (I call it Sharon Stone short, if only I had her face and body), some See's chocolate candy (good for a cough), a new bird feeder (the word got out and so many birds came the feeder broke), wine, groceries and a new coffee pot.
For you, in your house, you just bring stuff home and add it to the stuff you have. For us, in our 32' cozy motorhome, when new stuff comes in, old stuff must exit. So where to put this new pot which is twice the size of our old one.
For years we have made coffee by grinding Starbuck's beans and pouring water over the grounds into our slim Melita thermal carafe. Great system! Simple, efficient and space-saving. Also smells great and tastes wonderful. No overheated and burned coffee. However, all good things come to an end. They don't make the Melita pot anymore.
So enter new Mr. Coffee with a thermal carafe. We tested the process. Instead of our usual wine for cocktail hour we had coffee and chocolate. (Life's short, eat dessert first.) Tastes great and keeps warm nicely. So OK we'll keep it but now the rearranging begins to find space on the counter (which we have 2 feet of) and in the cabinets for traveling storage. Good thing we're here for a few days because this may become a major cupboard reorganization effort.
