Art Exhibition Opening Night in Wynwood

Charley Friedman, a childhood friend of mine who is now an artist in NYC, recently was in town for the opening of his first south Florida exhibition. It was a smashing success (from my narrow perspective), and I hope that you enjoy the pictures.

Once You Go Really Dark Roast...

A few weeks ago I ran out of regular ground coffee and, in a bold experiment borne of desperation, made some espresso roast with my standard drip coffee maker. The result was a sludgey, tar-like brew for which I quickly acquired a taste.


After just a few days of the espresso drip diet, however, I discovered that I can no longer stomach regular coffee (even darker roasts, like Sumatra) made at home: it is simply too watery and weak. Substantially increasing the amount of scoops when making regular coffee has partially mitigated this effect, but the fact remains that my coffee palate has been inalterably skewed.
