happy early valentine's day, baby...

one thing i *really* miss when we're camping is my stainless steel espresso machine, which sits on the kitchen bench and needs electricity. it's the morning ritual, a shared ristretto moment before hubby flies out the door to work.
it's just that french press/plunger coffee *tastes* so different... and it's rather a drama, boiling water in the pressure cooker on the little two-burner gas stove and then making the plunger.. a whistling kettle is still on the to-buy-for-camping list.
so when my friend deb told me about this unbelievably sexy set on half-price sale today... it was a done deal. isn't it g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s !!!!!


i think we'll leave the dr seuss cups at home, and take some old ones camping, though.
