golden luwak – Kopi Luwak 100% Authentic Arabica Civet Coffee 1lb / 456 Grams

Ok I will never understand why people spend so much money on things like this but this coffee is one of the most expensive in the world.  Not because of the country of origin, or anything you may think of off the top of your head.  No this one is expensive because of they way it’s “produced”..Hopefully I can get through this.  This coffee can not be produced until it is eaten by a certain animal and that animal is the mongoose. Once the coffee bean passes through the mongoose and is ….um harvested, then production can begin..Um even if I had the money for a $120 bag of coffee, they can keep it.

Coffee Keeps Me Going

Collage_lsedi-6_0diwtjuoa3d8vg20141001-2-cvz7efjpg?1412205837
My husband asks me each year to make a list of things I want for Christmas with links to it and I ask him to do the same. We email each other our lists because we’re both big online shoppers.  I’m a fan of Etsy and found some beautiful Turkish craftmanship related to coffee.  It got me thinking about the whole coffee experience but also added some ideas to my Christmas wish list.

Oh coffee, how could I function without it.  A cup in the morning to get me going. A cup when I get home from work to help me keep up with the kids.  Maybe even a cup in the evening to help me finish up what I need to do.  A little flavored creamer and it’s a definite escape for me for a minute. I know I’m a little later for national coffee day but here is my coffee inspired wishlist.

Tulumba - Brass Coffee Mill (Round) 'Turkish Coffee Grinder' [Decorative Only]

Tulumba – Brass Coffee Mill (Round) ‘Turkish Coffee Grinder’ [Decorative Only]

My sister and her husband got a coffee grinder last Christmas and they swear that fresh ground coffee tastes better than other coffee. I’ll be honest I never tried it. Then I received a bag of whole bean coffee myself.  Started looking at coffee grinders and found this beautiful piece.  You can find them on Etsy as well hand tools in copper finishes, gold, silver, and antiqued.  Now I want one.

Zombies Everywhere!

Collage_5r6gscy6p4gnnhrccaffmw20140923-2-13yy17ljpg?1411502631

A few years ago I really got into a game on Xbox 360 called “Left 4 Dead” I have both 1 and 2.  Besides monopoly, it was about the only xbox games I played.  Then I started watching Walking Dead.  I watched for a couple seasons then got bored of it because it was more about the drama than the zombies most of the time.  Because of those two things my family got it in their heads that I was a zombie nut.  So they started buying me zombie this and zombie that.  It’s grown on me and I almost embrace it.  I’ve found some pretty funny and cool things with zombie themes.

Electronic Arts – Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare (Xbox 360)

Electronic Arts - Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare (Xbox 360)

My youngest son bugged me for this game for months.  I finally got it for him for his birthday.  It’s a super cute game, not scary for kids.  The only problem with this game is that you  have to have Xbox live to play it.  I thought that was ridiculous but it is a very cool game.
