Toddy Coffee Maker & Mother’s Day….
This weekend ended up being a busy one!
Saturday hubs and I went grocery shopping, ran some necessary errands then I took the granddaughters (8 & almost 11) Mother’s Day shopping. Since it will be near 80 degrees here by Friday (woot!!) I also took the g’daughters summer clothes shopping. We spent a whole 3 hours shopping and having fun which I really enjoyed since I have not seen them for about 3 weeks.
Sunday was Mother’s Day and as sometimes happens plans change and it was hubs and I for most of the day. He took me out for breakfast then we stopped at a local nursery and he purchased a wonderful planter filled with succulents (like chicken & hens, sedums etc.) and little black pebbles. I really love the look of these plants and they are perfect for planters….in fact we have a big clay pot that is being overrun with herbs that I hope to transplant this coming weekend. We will then redo the clay pot with the above mentioned plants and for this one I would like little white pebbles!
For Mother’s Day our daughters got me a Toddy Coffee Maker (thanks girls…I love you!). I never knew there was such a thing and I am thrilled!
I LOVE coffee but it kills my stomach (and no, I’m not giving it up any time soon…I don’t smoke and I don’t drink but I will drink my coffee!). The Toddy Coffee Maker is a cold process method and is supposed to reduce the acid content of the coffee by 67% which should make my stomach happier!
Last night I set up the Toddy maker to brew overnight and this morning I let it drain into the carafe. There are several recipes in the instruction booklet that sound very, very good…one is made with ice cream! I will let you know which is my favorite recipe as well as how it effects my stomach….it may be an option for those of you with sensitive bellies!
