Today 8 bags of coffee from Peru came in. (Thats 16 half bags for you math types / Birmingham news readers). The coffee is from a coop in the northeastern corner of Peru, Cepicafe. The site has some really nice pictures and information, but doesn’t work in Safari.
They are everything Primavera looks for in […]
I think I can say across the board that all the wood sheet goods in your house or place of work are glued together with formaldehyde. The EPA says it well,
In homes, the most significant sources of formaldehyde are likely to be pressed wood products made using adhesives that contain urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins. Pressed […]
The October 2006 issue of Portico Magazine includes a piece on Birmingham coffee roasters. We were one of the four roasters included in the article. Portico is a good magazine to read as well as to ad surf. Also, they use the matte/satin paper that looks richer (color not money) than the […]
I updated the tea page today. two leaves and a bud (the tea line we carry) has re-done their packaging and added a white tea, 2 herbal teas, and a chai.

The landlord had those installed so we are waiting for his plumber to come [...]
The exhaust on the roaster was supposed to be bare metal. It came and the top half was bare galvanized, but the bottom half was cream/tan ugly primer.

I did the usually Google/Amazon/Home Depot/Lowes scouting around.
Porter Cable makes a spray gun that I [...]
