Little Luxuries That Make a Big Difference.

Praise the Lord for premium ice cream.
I don't drink whiskey, smoke or chew....
Or go with girls who do...
But I do have to watch I don't eat too much premium ice cream. For desert, a mix of Belgium Chocolate and Vanilla Bean Turkey Hill premium. No it didn't have any turkey in it, but was still very tasty. 😋
I better get up early tomorrow and go for a speed walk.
Speaking of speed walking, I normally start my day with a good coffee and brew it in a French press. If you are a coffee drinker and haven't tried one, the secret to great coffee is IMHO:

1. Organic (coffee beans are heavily sprayed)
No bug killers on organic.
2. Fresh purified water. Not tap unless you use a Berky or close equivalent. Best investment for health you can make.
3. French press...most use a glass 1 liter/ quart beaker with a handle. 4 minutes and it's done. Read reviews. Just about everyone likes that method, but some brands work better than others.

I love coffee too.

As a couple pieces of information....

Coffee is naturally bug resistant. The caffeine in the plant (as well as the altitude) repels most bugs. It does need some fertilizers.

I know a lot of people like a French press....but that last bit of coffee is always tempting me to drink it. (It seems like a waste even though it isn't)

I prefer a V-60 to a French press. 50g coffee to 300g boiling water.

I've been playing with some blends and roasting profiles.

I wish that I had a photo app that was secure.

Have you tried Open Camera?

Or get a Linux phone. There are a scant few, and they won't spy on you.

I watched a YouTube video on those a long time ago and forgot to follow up. That's probably a good idea. I'll start by looking for the Open Camera app. Is it something that would be a Google play store purchase for Android?

what do you do with your coffee grounds?

Everyone knows I'm the last person on earth 🌎 to ask about techie things 😬, but Open Camera should be free under Google Play, unless it's changed.

I put it on my phone soon after I got it.

Hooray 🥳 for free apps! Right now they're the only kind I use.

I dont go to a cafe much but there used to be one round the corner from the church and I would collect their coffee grounds in a bucket and chuck them in the church garden or compost. I also did flowers for them.

The church am attending currently has no garden and only one indoor plant
Though the evening garden club is held at another church I dont go there for services. Maybe one day. They do have a community garden, but we dont look after it, someone else does.

I think gardening is therapeutic (and a lot of scientific evidence suggest that it is) but it shouldnt be like a luxury that only the rich can afford. I think its a necessity for your soul.

Coffee grounds also make a nice scrub if you mix them with body wash, but I've read that the grounds will eventually pool up and clog your drains?

So I stopped using them and use just plain salt instead.

Cheap, dissolvable, and helps buff away rough knees and elbows. 💪

Sugar works, too

Compost.
All table scraps go back to the soil.

Yes,I am doing that also 😊 instead of throwing the coffee grounds give it to the plants
