Happy Birthday to Peter!
Well, Elisabeth really went over the top this year for my birthday. I know, it was a few weeks ago, but I still wanted everyone to know all of the great stuff she gave me. First and foremost was an espresso machine!!! Elisabeth is well aware of my undying devotion to java (and the physical necessity that it is to me) so she purchased a machine from our local Starbucks.
The machine is just the first step; without the accessories, the machine is just a coffee maker! Roman helped Elisabeth pick out just the right things to make the present perfect! There was a steamer pitcher with thermometer, shot classes, and measuring spoons. Almost perfect...
Elisabeth got a great deal on a grinder to go with (our old one is on the fritz). There were also a few flavored syrup samples to go with, and a few other coffee accessories.
Little did I know, Elisabeth had corroborated with some of her people to make my birthday present really exquisite. Aunt Joyce found me the most amazing espresso cups...
and Mom Renander gave me the ever desired French press! Coffee from a French press is sooooooooooooooooooooo good!
More java was needed so a few extra pounds were purchased.
And in order to use the machine to its fullest potential, Elisabeth purchased a recipe book. It has some great drinks, especially summer ones! Now all I have to do is build that patio so I can enjoy some iced coffee on it! Thanks for a great birthday everyone!!! My wife knows just what to get me!
