Part of one of my projects at Hackerspace Hack42; preserved mechanical mice balls, for future generations to be gazed upon.
The paper label was printed using gLabels on a laserjet printer, with additional input done by hand and a typewriter.
The label was 'aged' using the coffee and oven technique.

Not part of the haunted cottage, but I thought I'd share it with you... Clay dried, plant secure, but I really wanted it to look like dirt. So I painted the clay ball brown, put a layer of white glue and then sprinkled coffee grounds.
Or so I thought. Didn't read the jar carefully enough--they were INSTANT coffee grounds and melted into the glue turning into a puddling like mess. Will wait to dry and then try again. :-P
When I woke up this morning, the power was off, so I decided I would enjoy a nice slow morning, as I wouldn't be able to use the internet or the printer at the mayor's office, which I would have needed for the work I had for the day.
While I enjoyed my breakfast of oatmeal with honey and cinnamon, I read my book, Uncommon Grounds: the History of Coffee and How It Transformed our World, by Mark Pendergrast. Every time I open the book, I find myself either longing for coffee, or so disgusted that I never want to drink it again. This time the former occurred, so I went to Niña Gloria's and bought a packet of instant coffee.
As the book points out, El Salvador and most other Latin American coffee-producing countries face a similar predicament. The laborers who grow, harvest, and process coffee work hard, long hours, carefully producing a fine crop. But they see little of the money. Pendergrast reports that if coffee laborers in Central America received the same wages as American laborers, coffee would cost upwards of $30 a pound in the US. The coffee produced here is of good quality—it comes from carefully tended, high-elevation, shade-grown plots, and is processed by the labor-intensive “dry method.” Then it is sold to post-processing plants owned by foreign companies which rake in nearly 90% of the profits. The money which the farmers receive is not enough for them to afford the luxury of enjoying their own coffee.
Instead, Salvadorans make coffee in one of two ways. The first is to buy the low-quality stuff, the leftovers that the processing plants won't buy. This is over-roasted, then boiled for far too long in too much water. To make it palatable, several spoonfuls of sugar are added to the mix. Most families who enjoy their coffee this way make one pot in the morning, reheating it throughout the day.
The other way Salvadorans make coffee is the way I did this morning—with instant. Instant coffee is made from beans grown and roasted in El Salvador, then shipped overseas to be turned into instant coffee and packaged, then shipped back to El Salvador. Typically it is served with heaps of sugar. This morning I mixed mine up with a packet of hot chocolate. At the first sip, I realized why I never buy instant coffee, and vowed never to buy it again. The coffee had ruined a perfectly good cup of hot chocolate.
If you'd like to enjoy a really fine cup of coffee and help out Salvadoran coffee growers, then open up your phone book and call the coffee roasters in your area, or talk to the manager at a local grocery store. Ask them if the provide fair-trade coffee. Roasters who buy fair-trade coffee guarantee their providers a set minimum price, regardless of the market value of coffee, so the farmers always know they will have enough money to feed their families and grow their businesses. They also buy from cooperatives of privately owned coffee plantations, rather than large conglomerates, and work with the farmers, providing credit and opportunities to learn and institute safer, more environmentally friendly, and more efficient growing practices. Finally, because the roasters maintain such a close relationship with their suppliers, they know more about the coffee they are selling, and can assure its quality. It will consist of higher quality beans, more carefully processed, and more expertly roasted. And it will be more fresh than store-bought coffee 100% of the time, as they always buy small shipments.
This lovely fellow was playing his accordion in a shaded spot under a tree at the Shipyards in North Vancouver. He was very good! It was like suddenly being in Paris.
I shot this photo with my Hasselblad 500C "Apollo" with Kodak Tri-X 400 120 film, and I developed it with Caffenol developer which I made from Taster's Choice instant coffee.
I really like this Caffenol recipe! It makes a good, potent developer, providing high contrast, and good sharpness. The grain looks good, too. I'm pleasantly surprised by just how good this Caffenol recipe works!

We are settling in for the night with a TV dinner and a cup of instant coffee. Just imagine: This is how people predicted decades ago how we would all be eating. Sharp eyes will recognize this is an infamous Salisbury Steak Dinner. These are two items off a whole list of food fads outlined by Dr. John in his article.
Well, I'm not sure quite how gratifying it is.
I decided to go for the new coffee machine, which is an extravagance, but it's something that will get used many times a day every single day and that makes it worth investing in.
I love real coffee, but I don't love the hassle that comes with it. That's why a bean to cup coffee machine is a dream come true for me. Proper coffee with less time and fuss than making a cup of tea.
Unfortunately the new machine won't get delivered for 2-4 weeks, and that means we're back to instant for a wee while.
I vowed to myself when I got my machine that I'd never turn into a 'coffee wanker' - you know those people who would turn their nose up at a mug of instant like it was a piss flavoured milkshake. So I'm bearing it with a good grace and enjoying a change in taste for a short while.
Instant can be really nice, but...well it's just not the same. :)

The high density of the foam of these frappes has bedeviled me in my attempts to make frappe at home. I managed to find a store that sells spray-dried, albeit decaffeinated, Nescafe here in Canada, but no matter what I do I can't replicate that luscious foam.
Vitamin D drinks - basically a mojito with a drop of Vit D on top. we were thinking the Vit D could be acid.
This is a bit like Ford Motor Company or Chevrolet putting their own branded coffee on store shelves. From now on, when I hear "FoMoCo," I'll think that the wrench waving youngsters are talking about Ford Motor Coffee.
Also, TATA instant coffee is not really the flavour of India. India does not taste like automotive parts.

There is nothing worse than cold instant coffee. Oh yes, apart from being a complete failure. But that's not my case, is it?
Now you know that it's all your fault
How are you doing with it?
Hey, are you nervous?
Everything that you've ever known will go up in flames
Tell me, are you nervous?
And the sky will fall down on you and the world still turns around, round, round.
And the sky will fall down on you as your life goes on down, down, down.
Everything that you've ever done will come back to haunt
Tell me, are you nervous?
Now you know that it is for sure
How are you taking it?
Do you deserve this?
And the sky will fall down on you and the world still turns around, round, round
And the sky will fall down on you and your life goes on down, down, down

Now this is totally different from anything else I have posted! She is one of large set (of about 20) of condiment jars that were distributed by both Lefton and ESD in the 1950s. They were produced after the huge success of Holt Howard Pixieware, and were knock-offs of that line. However, in my opinion, this set is cuter (if I may be so bold :)
If her head is lifted, she has a spoon attached to scoop out the instant coffee. There is also a matching jar for instant coffee that is just her head and is about 5" long.
I have quite a number of these jars and will post more of them in the future! Many thanks to my friend Michael for taking such a nice picture of her :)
We bought some dismal instant coffee when we went camping. I decided to try it as 'ink' rather than drink it. After this quick sketch dried, I decided the medium has potential....so now I have a bottle of 'ink' marked Coffee.
97 cents or so for this; it makes 8 ounces of coffee. you're much better off buying beans and putting them in your french press.
starbucks is selling these as the smart choice for adventurous sorts -- the ones that (howard schultz actually said this) are more and more often finding themselves on the tops of mountains (right?!?). but if i was on the top of a mountain, or just camping somewhere vaguely hilly, i'd want to have a camping coffeepot and my stumptown i'd ground right before leaving. i mean, half the fun of camping is making coffee, right? what else are you going to do with your time?

Testimonianza di una notte di studio. Incredibile ma vero.
Let's start all over
Let's do it right
One drive to Dover
One overnight
All of them waiting
For you to appear
And no more worrying
No more tears
Warm sun is shining
Green trees surround
All of your favorite songs
They're counting them down
And there's a Safeway
And Toys 'R' Us
Baby-blue Camaro
Rhode Island bus
One day you'll look back upon right now
And all sad feelings will be taken out
