The snow...
I wanted Dave to clear off my vehicle, since he was already out there clearing the driveway and sidewalks. He said ok and asked if I would make him some coffee....
The coffee...
Now, you hear of people who are very intelligent, but lack common sense. Well, I want to be considered one of those people because the alternative is that I am a regular person who lacks common sense. I had never made coffee before ( at the young age of 37), so Dave explained to me how much water and how much coffee. What he failed to explain is where each one goes. Now, I do have some common sense, so I put the filter in, and then, I put the coffee grounds in. I figured that the coffee and the water come out the same place, so they must go in the same place. So, I start pouring the water in where the coffee grounds are. Then, water starts pouring out. I get a dish towel, and I scream outside --Dave I have an emergency. He comes inside. And this is what he sees.
He asks if I saw the hole. I start looking at the filter that is full of coffee grounds and say, "What hole". He says --no--no --behind where the filter goes. I start laughing hysterically. I asked if he wanted to switch (the vehicle was practically done). No answer. Then, I said, "Well, I better start cleaning this up". He went back outside and said that he would make the coffee when he came inside. Did you ever have to clean the inside of a coffee maker? There are so many little spaces that "wet" coffee can go. I surely did make a mess. Now, I will have to do the floors today. Great.
Anyway, I still want to do my paper again today. I hope you are having a good day. I will keep you updated on my progress. Until then...
This is me. This is my blog.
LOL--what a story. For me I'm not a coffee drinker, so sometimes making coffee takes some time and I do what you did. At church there's this really big coffeemaker and numerous times have had bad things happen. But with practice it seems to get better.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that I am not alone in this. Thanks for sharing -- you made me feel a lot better.
ReplyDeleteVery funny!.....We are so opposite.
ReplyDeleteI know. Not only do you love your coffee, you know how to make it.
ReplyDeleteThat is hysterical! I don't know how to make coffee either Deb! I'm a hot chocolate girl!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I love my hot coco. Have you tried the "Dark Chocolate Sensation"? It tastes just like the restaurant's hot coco.
