I’m feeling a little guilty about this, a little scared to admit to it, but I guess the only thing to do is ‘fess up and hope for the best.
I’ve started a new blog, but it’s not what you think.
I asked for green coffee beans for Christmas. That’s coffee that hasn’t yet been roasted. My family has a $15 gift limit, so I figured I’d get a pound or two of coffee — just enough to try it out, see if it was something I’d be interested in doing on a regular basis. Instead, though, my grandmother, who is not bound by the limit, gave me something like eight pounds of beans.
It’s taken until this past week for me to gather the equipment, time, and guts to try roasting. It was easy and fun, and the coffee that resulted was so good and so different from any coffee I’ve ever had before that I was pretty much immediately hooked. Also, I still had almost eight pounds of coffee left to roast. All the coffee roasting sites I’ve read say you should keep a log of all your roasts — and since I found it hard to believe that I’d actually take pen to paper, well, I figured I’d start a blog.
You can find it at www.roastthis.com. I don’t plan on it replacing this one, but no promises on frequent updates. As if you didn’t already know that.
You should go into business. I myself am sure i would ge ga-ga over JRS brand coffee ™.
I agree with that “h” dude. He is quite wise.
by starting another blog all you will get is double the requests for updates, but hey… more for me to read. and i agree with “h”… it seems like a nice job for someone who just graduated.
I’m not going into business, but I could probably send out some samples. Mixing media! How postmodern!
I was thinking of starting my own blog to support your blog.
I must say I agree with diego….more for me to read! Much to your disbelieve I have always enjoyed reading your posts….you are an excellent writer. I have even missed you (just a little) can’t wait to be able buy your book…..
You have a book deal?
I wish I had a book deal! I assume that commenter was talking about the hypothetical future. Alas…
You’re only allowed to have to blogs if you update them regularly…
Oh yeah? What’re you gonna do about it?
Yes, I was talking about the future….you’ll have one someday! Updates would be wonderful however, life takes time savor every moment.
