Cold-Brewed Coffee

I watched Food Network yesterday and they explained how to make cold-brewed coffee.  Put coffee grinds in water and put in refrigerator overnight.  Easy.

I did it with some of my flavored decaf.

Obviously, you need to filter it before drinking it.  Now this is a lesson in patience.  I'm glad I don't "need" coffee to wake up in the morning.  SLOW, SLOW, SLOW.  And I accidentally dumped the filter into the filtered coffee about half way through.  Old Michael Finnegan begin again.

It's good - much stronger than I expected.  I actually think I'd like no-flavor better.  Next time I buy grinds, I'll try a bit of regular decaf.  And I won't make it too often.  Three mason jars, 2 filters, lots of messy grinds later ... seems like work.  Of course, I'll have better filter process next time!  (Always learning lol.)

I wonder if I use Starbucks beans if it will taste like my americano.  Okay, now I MUST try that ... adding to "bucket" list.  Coffee exploration is my new thing lol.  And since nitro is a bust ...

My cold sore is healing.  Huge, bumpy scab came off today.  Now it's flatter, but still wet ... probably will scab again.  I need to figure out the day to replace all my toothbrushes, throw out lip gloss, etc. - maybe in a day or so the contagiousness will be done. (I'll google it.)  Fortunately, I had a lip stick and lip gloss that were just about empty.  I've been using them - so they can get tossed.

I really wonder why I got a cold sore.

I'm in a better state of mind today.  (Love W30 and incantations - I'm a way more reasonable person.)

I'm still worried about the pup (of course) but I'm in a good head space about call weekend, etc.  Only 2 call weekends left - do a little dance!!  Actually feeling good today.  (Maybe the scab falling off gave me a boost lol!)

Busy day ahead.  Busy and good.  Later gators.
