My husband and I drink perked coffee. No fancy Starbucks brew for us. We take ours the old-fashioned way.
So, we were really irked this morning when our second new percolator in less than two years bit the dust. Fifty-six dollars, times two, down the drain. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.
Lucky for us, I'd found this sixty-something year old percolator a month or so ago. I think I paid $10 for it. I had been too nervous to plug it up. I never really thought it would work, anyway, I just thought it was cute.
However, desperate times call for desperate measures.
A morning without coffee is like....
Well, I can't even answer that until after my coffee.
We plugged her in. Expecting what? Sparks and an explosion, maybe? I was just thinking, please let the fire be small.
I really wasn't expecting a hot cup o' joe.
But, that's just what we got. It was great. She's hired.
