Americano's and French novels....

I took my car in for servicing today and had some time to browse downtown...I found an new coffee press gizmo...The Aero Press. My BFF bought one and raved about it and I know it's got to be great as she has excellent taste, she's first class all the way!

Brew the coffee atop a sturdy mug, 

press gently and then add more hot water to the mug and voila you have an Americano. 

(makes 1 - 4 cups)

This is the sturdiest mug I own

I also went to a used book shop and found these books.

Veronique Vienne

sounds like fun

I like this so far....

ooh la la...

Isn't she chic?

This photo was tucked in the book and fell out when I got home.

Nice boots

she could be a blogger!

I loved Chocolat 

and now there are more adventures of Vianne

 There's a mug full of coffee and a book calling my name...

I am carving out some "me time"...

Au revoir.
