Whoops

The fiance shattered my beloved Melita coffee carafe tonight. While the whole set-up only runs about $12 bucks the subject of a new coffee making technique surfaced quickly after the demise of my purty glass carafe.

I'm pretty sure that the carafe catastrophe was an accident-although I have my suspicions ;o) The fiance was quick to bring up the possibility of a percolator once the carafe was KIA. He even mentioned that he had been researching them that afternoon at work! Seems a bit suspicious to me.

Regardless of the fiance's intentions when he entered the kitchen this evening-we ended up purchasing a percolator as well as a chocolate turkey this evening.

The chocolate turkey was my special mission as hollow turkey chocolates filled with Mini M&Ms are a cherished autumn treat tradition in Hannahworld-and yes, sweets seem to be coming up a lot lately-blame the ovaries ;o) To enjoy a M&M filled chocolate turkey simply buy the ingredients, munch off a turkey's head, pour in M&Ms and then enjoy!

Our new coffee brewing machine.

The first brew took a couple tries, but once we got it down we found ourselves enjoying a robust brew in minutes! The cord is detachable and makes it super easy to bring the percolator to the table. It is certainly taller and more ungainly than the Melita carafe, but I'm trying to hold off judgement until I get to use it myself.

We are anti-coffee machine for the space it eats up sitting on the counter and prefer coffee brewing apparatus that are easily transferred to cabinet storage-just in case you were wondering why the "alternative brewing style."

In other news, the fiance has found a new level of affection for our shower rack.

 Classy. :o)
