Life's a Grind

Sue and I were talking about the value of home made slash hand crafted gifts.  With the abundance of mass production and limited availability of interesting stores in a small town (though there are more popping up), unique and interesting items are at a premium.

Recently, Sue got her grind on and made home made peanut butter.  But she didn't stop there.  She stepped it up with almond butter, then....wait for it....the crème de la crème....cashew butter.  E-yum!  That Bullet sure can do some cool things.

Well, so can the air popper.  Though all directions warn that it is not to be used for any purpose other than popping corn, it also can be used to do this:

That's right, roasting coffee beans!  Sure, I charred my thumb and almost caught a wooden spoon on fire, but dang my house smells fabulous! 

And the gift recipients were all thrilled by their gifts.

Of course.
