Creativity or Desperation?
For those who know me, you should all know about my need for coffee in the morning. I can do without it, but it takes me extra long to warm up to people. This semester I haven't been drinking coffee in the morning because I don't have a coffee machine. Well, one girl in my apartment does, but I don't think I'm allowed to use it, and it doesn't look like it's EVER been cleaned, and it doesn't look that new. So, I'm a little afraid of it.
Today I woke up early to clean the kitchen and do my laundry since I'm leaving for the weekend. I had a pounding headache and from past experiences I know the only thing that will make me feel better is a cup of coffee, but I can't use the coffee machine.
I stood in front of my cupboard just staring, trying to figure out how I was going to make my coffee...
I turned the water heater on and continued to stare. I then proceeded to take out my coffee filters and my coffee...and I put the ground beans in the filter and decided the only way I was going to get my fix was to make it like tea. So i let my recycled paper filter soak in the hot water in my Ritter Sport travel mug. It soaked for a good 20 minutes, while I cleaned the kitchen. I finally got tired of waiting and removed the filter and began to sip on my very weak, hot cup of coffee.
And what do you know, it did the trick. Perfect compliment to my tomato-egg scramble with salsa and toast :]
Oh and for the record...I think I might just go buy a coffee maker, I don't think I could drink that regularly...
Happy Saturday!
