In the Dark of the Night, A Dark, Dark Roast
So after talking to Shannon about Steve's hobby of roasting coffee, I decide to try it. Julia wrangles some green Honduran beans out of a helpful clerk at the co-op. I look for equipment. But all I can find is an old Chinese wok to heat the beans in and a hobby heat gun for the heat source! Nevertheless, in the dark in the rain Spencer and I give it a try. After ten or fifteen minutes, Spencer wanders back inside to be warm and dry and not bored, comes back out again and stirs the beans. I am still heating. Ultimately I manage to get the beans through the first crack, then the second crack and onto a dark but uneven roast. Hey! it worked! Sort of. I am drinking the result this morning.

You know, I've been drinking that coffee the last few mornings and it tastes pretty darn good! I'm going to try again.
