Cold Process – wow.
Take fresh beans, grind them coarse (for plunger) add coffee to plunger and a dash of cold water. Stir in into a paste then fill with cold water. Stir, then leave it sit for 12 hours.
Filter the cold coffee – the smell while you do this will drive you nuts – coffee [...]
Ok – I’ve had my fun with evolution (yes we can still keep going with the comment chain if you want) it would not have been an authentic ‘Atheist Encounter’ If I didn’t play the evolution card would it?
But evolution just isn’t the core of who I am – I loved that part of biology, [...]
Apparently I’m a dinosaur.
And I want an explanation!
Grendel and Beowulf
I’m going to put my neck out here and make a call – these guys are nut cases. Who in their right mind would attempt to interpret an Anglo Saxon saga as literal truth with dinosaurs as the monsters in support of creationist theology?
But wait! I [...]
My coffee consumption was low, very low for the next 15 months, and I was a bit leery of gravy as well. But my next posting was to the tropical paradise of Airlie Beach, with its waving palms, multitude of tropical islands and suitably attired backpackers and an incipient cappuccino strip that was bribing nescafe [...]
Well, I’m off on two journeys here so far, my spiritual journey and my one about faith. We’ll get back to the coffee in a bit and talk a bit more about faith.
There have been some interesting and thought-provoking comments posted – so thanks everyone, for your contributions so far.
My work has taken me to [...]
I was reading a few comments on a political blog thread about the Greens vs the Exclusive Brethren and saw this comment
“I wish God would hurry up with the rapture so the impure could inherit the earth and start having a good time.”
First off – what is coffee?
Well coffee doesn’t dissolve instantly in water. It can’t be stored in a jar in powdered form and you can’t squeeze it out of a tube. There are a lot of ‘coffee flavoured’ and ‘coffee style’ things you can do this with, but coffee isn’t one of them.
Ok, yes I [...]
Ok, I promised I’d get back to this so here I am.
I’m pretty tired right now so I may ramble (yes, you’ve looked at the timestamp of the post and its not even 9pm. . . My job at the moment is pretty full on and I don’t really have a team to delegate to [...]
I was raised as a catholic and I received the sacraments of the catholic faith and participated in church life until the age of 24. I was raised in a catholic charismatic community, in which it was expected that the holy spirit would descend on you at some point and you would speak in tongues.
I [...]
Grendel.
Ok – weird kinda name, like many internet handles.
There is a reason for it – anyone study early English literature? because this is from some of the very earliest. The story of how the hero Beowulf slew the monster Grendel. How I came to acquire the Dane-eating monster’s name rather than the hero’s [...]
