Having the first brew from the new bag of beans. I've chosen a medium roast this time, previously I've had quite dark, intense roasts. It's much more friendly to a reflux-sensitive gut. I used the Porlex Mini hand grinder & the AeroPress to brew it up.
A bag of coffee beans arrived on my doorstep sometime this afternoon. It had travelled 3000 km from the roaster in Queensland in a little over 24 hours. That's service.
@kdfrawg A truck-driving friend who spends long hours driving is of the sunburn-affected type: red hair, fair skin. (Not I, though. I've scored dark [now greying] hair & an olive complexion). To prevent this he applies +50 sunscreen before going outside, wears long-sleeved shirts & a wide-brimmed hat. Even in the quite sunny climate we have here, his sunburn avoidance program is so effective that he needs vitamin D supplements.

@hazardwarning A few pubs around here do "triple-cooked" pork belly. First, it's slow-roasted then allowed to rest for about an hour. Then the meaty part is pan-fried and the fat side gets lightly charred on a BBQ.

@hazardwarning it's often said the only parts of a pig that aren't eaten are the pee & the squeal.

Well, the Mac & iPad that weren't connecting to wifi at the Mac User Group satellite session tonight are working perfectly fine on my two home networks. Methinks a recent firmware upgrade to the AirPort Extreme wasn't applied.
@hazardwarning Sounds like here. Tea, cheese & Xmas cake.
