i have just made my little boy's day! How did I do this? well, something very fascinating has re-entered our kitchen since the giant noisy espresso maker went on the fritz...a DRIP COFFEE MACHINE. this is truely fascinating. and as i fill the reservoir my little man yelps with joy and pulls up a stool to watch the whole drip coffee procedure. almost as cool as the whirlpool that magically appears when we empty the tub. joy.
