the lineup
Friday, October 12, 2007I was going to show you my project lineup that causes many sleepless nights over here. However, the line is so long, I decided to show you the lineup that resides in my kitchen, and not in my head. 
From left to right.
::tea pot. Usually only used at night.
:: stove top espresso maker. Usually used only in the afternoon. Easy directions to make a delicious cup found here, by Blair.
:: coffee maker. Usually used only in the morning. 10-12 cups always waiting for us.
:: espresso maker. Usually only used to steam/froth my milk. Always only used for the cup of espresso.
:: TAZO tea. Lotus green (decaf) for me, please.
::biscotti. Usually only eaten with the cup of espresso. Delicious recipe here, by Elinor.
I am pretty sure that this lineup is not causing the sleepless nights. Nope, it would have to be the projects, since most of the above is usually decaf. (Except for the pot of coffee, that is always regular.)
Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh, if there is ever a day I come to the end of my projects and let my mind rest, I will be shocked! If you figure a way to turn off the constant mulling, please do let me know. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletei am a coffee in the a.m., tea in the p.m. girl too.
ReplyDeletemmm - all that drinkable goodness. I love coffee in the morning and tea at night - tea for some reason is so much more soothing!
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm having major project anxiety right now. It's on my mind all of the time! And what do I do? You know! Start another project! I'm out of control here. For the love of all that is good please stop me. :/
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely line-up. I just had to pack up most of my counter top items - I'm left with the lonely coffee-pot for my pick-me-up in the mornings/afternoons/evenings.
ReplyDeleteLooks very inviting. And can I just say that I love that you take so many photos of all the big and little moments. I love the shot of your daughter's hair clip on her clothes. I take those shots too. I always want to remember that they loved to wear "grown-up" shoes and walk around the house in them.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's the projects. Definitely. :)
ReplyDeletePS: I've given up caffeine - don't even ask!
Now I want some caffe con leche and a biscotti.
ReplyDeletei LOVE my stovetop espresso maker! (you cannot survive as a nurse working nights without one!) i cant wait to see the lineup of projects you have going...
ReplyDeleteI was going to say, shoa girl slow down on that caffeine!But your ok. I like tea myself
ReplyDeleteYou have now given me company in misery. I have just gone through my third sleepless night and there is absolutely no explanation but that of my endless mullings over whether to do the Drops jacket next, or the slouchy cardigan, or clementine's cardi, or sunrise surprise jacket and whether Jaeger extra fine merino or rowan felted tweed or classic elite charmed or... and that is just the knitting side of the brain!! When I get started on the exciting new sewing projects I want to tackle using good-ness fabric, I am wide awake for hours. Thanks for sharing, Leslie!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome hot beverage system!
ReplyDeleteHA! You must have known we were going to say all of your beverage line up was keeping you up!
ReplyDeleteI so don't own a teapot let alone those other contraptions! LOL
Mmmmm, biscotti and espresso!!
ReplyDeleteKeep on drinking that "stuff" but stay away from the ice cubes!!!
ReplyDeleteLove coffee and tea but it must be decaf for me too. Otherwise I'll be up all night!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a peg rail put up in Knitting Headquarters this week so that I can hang my bags of UFOs up in public. I'm hoping the shame will spur me on :)
ReplyDeleteOh Leslie, you have been a busy blogger. Wow those apples and cake look yummo, and the sweater, perfect fall boy sweater! Love it! I have to catch up on your posts...
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxo,
Sabrina
Oh...and how did you get an image for your title? I have been trying to do this forever...it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat's a coffee and tea lover's paradise you got going there. I have two cups of coffee in the morning and a few cups of hot tea the rest of the day. Decaf preferred too:)Homemade biscottis are the best!
ReplyDeleteI have become very addicted to that stovetop espresso maker. I am now in search of an upgrade.
ReplyDeleteI love my frothy coffee in the morning too but got to the point of being tired of using the steamer. Now I microwave my milk and then use an Aerolatte which is a battery powered mini whisk which gives the milk the nice foamy top that is so yummy with the coffee. The Aerolatte lives in a drawer...one less thing on the counter! :)
ReplyDeletei love the way you are sharing what is lining up in your kitchen instead of what is lining up in your head...how i can relate to this!
ReplyDeletei love that tazo tea!
Its after 12 and I am up for similar reasons! Pour me a cup will yah? I'd love to try how you have your espresso... mmmm.
ReplyDeleteooo, thanks for the tip and recipe link. I would love to learn and be able to make my lattes at home.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a lot of projects going on. Do tell and show! Are they Christmas gifts as well?

hi there -- this line up is enabling. i agree with tea in the evenings, coffee the rest of the day.
ReplyDeletei'm formally delurking: i've been reading your blog for a few months now, and the general incredibleness of the online knitting community has prompted me to start my own - barefootrooster.wordpress.com
thanks for your beautiful knitting, writing and photography.
Thanks for the happy thoughts and for being my very first commenter!
ReplyDeleteHey Les: I've given you the You Make Me Smile Award. check my blog for details
ReplyDeleteTemptress! I miss my coffee so much :-) Through pregnancy and now nursing. I have been drinking decaf but for me it is just never the same.
ReplyDeleteI m a coffee drinker, have only one coffee maker at home..
