Now that I'm all settled in my new kitchen, I have begun experimenting with all the happy, shiny (and sometimes scary) appliances we received as wedding gifts. Among the first of those was this little baby - a Cuisinart coffeemaker. I think this particular one overwhelmed me the most, because it seemed complicated and foreign. Until a couple weeks ago, I had never made coffee in my life. Thankfully, that has all changed.Over the last couple of months, I had depended on Diet Mountain Dew to jolt me awake and keep me going throughout the day, but it just didn't seem right. Mountain Dew was made for college students slaving away on papers in the middle of the night, not young professionals with mortgages. Right? Well, at least in my book.
Now my morning staple and much-needed caffeine fix matches my age, and I actually look forward to waking up in the morning. When I do, at the ungodly hour of 5:30 am, there is a fresh pot of coffee waiting for me in the kitchen. I can't wait to experiment with different brands and flavors, and to actually use the coffee grinder sitting on the counter (still untouched). This whole grown-up thing is really growing on me.
