Currently, I’m blending 75% Colombian (medium roast) with 25% French roast (dark), which Costco has locally roasted at Steam Dot in Anchorage. I ran out of a wonderful African roast that I also added. Costco got rid of their roaster, and thus all of their specialty coffees. Steam Dot bought their giant roaster, but continues only three of their blends. Colombian is very good. None are organic.
I store them in the freezer, most often vacuum packing them first in jars.
Instead of cream, I add generous amounts of coconut cream that I get from a local Asian market.
Ground nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice from Frontier Coop (available locally at Natural Pantry) tops it off.
We live 2.5 miles from what I’ve been told is their 2nd most profitable Costco store. They bought Toys-R-Us next door, and are planning on joining the two buildings with an enclosed walkway, which would make it the largest Costco in the world, I am told. One manager still has to approve the project. They’re already using Toys-R-Us in other ways.
Some interesting ideas in this short video:
Yesterday and today, I’ve been humming one of Rico’s songs that I’ve posted. This melody isn’t as amazing, but the way he attacks the keyboard, propelling this song!
I can’t find any info on Rico. Sometimes he writes in Dutch.
A collaboration — nice!
Nevada Art Printers is the home of Lumichrome prints, which far exceed metal prints in color gamut, and still have the pop — and more longevity!
Metal prints are overrated. Most non-Lumichrome high-end inkjet prints also far exceed metal prints’ color gamut. A large number of metal prints are printed with only a 3 color and 1 black inkset. Whereas, high-end inkjet prints can have as many as 12!
Amazing roller coaster graphics; though, not my favorite music. They call it “old time” where my parents were/are from in New Ulm, Minnesota, southwest of where I grew up in the twin cities. My uncle played the concertina in his polka band, which is this sound.
‘Volare’ really moves at 1:32!
Upright posture song!
