If you love coffee, you'll know that its cost is c If you love coffee, you'll know that its cost is climbing steadily. The current market price for Arabica beans is about $2.70 US a pound, close to double what it was last year. One way to deal with the effects of this jump is to make coffee at home, where you can make a terrific cup, hot or iced, and fix it just the way you like it. Without much fuss and minus the boutique cafe $$$. Start with an affordable maker that can multi-task. For that, I like the new Flex Brew 5-in-1 from Hamilton Beach (Slide 3). Why? Because it has a space-saving 7-inch profile that hides a 12-cup carafe and a basket that swings out when needed. You can also make a single hot or iced coffee from the front of the machine. Single serve cups can be used with your favourite branded pod, or with a reusable filter for regular or decaf. It has a keep warm function and an automatic shut off. Easy to use and clean. I've got more about this nifty machine (on sale for $120 reg price $150 at Walmart at the moment) over on Around the House (link in bio.) There are also a bunch of tips for using leftover coffee in cakes, pastries, and gravies, as well as recipes for homemade coffee creamers. I'll also be @chch_morninglive tomorrow (Thursday) at 7:50 to share more. #coffee #coffeemaker #affordablecoffee #icedcoffee #hotcoffee #singleservecoffeepods #aroundthehouse #kitchentips #mochabrownies #flavouredcoffeecream
Did you know that today is International Eat Cake Did you know that today is International Eat Cake in Bed Day? At the World Headquarters of #AroundtheHouse that means anyone who worked on Friday gets Monday off to celebrate as well - hence, a long #weekend. Plus a #cake budget. And #paidtimeoff to plan a playlist, if desired. These credits may be transferred to another paid day off in lieu. New #bedlinen may also be allocated through a Staff Support fund. The benefit is available to ALL members of our #globalpublishingteam. Naturally. Seriously dyk about this holiday?

Pic now, more details soon. For now, marvel at t Pic now, more details soon. For now, marvel at this quietly arresting example of modern Finnish large-scale wood architecture from Anttinen Oiva Architects. Part of a revamp of the old port of Helsinki, it's very demure, very Nordic. The pictures I looked at made me think of obscure, arty movies made in the 70s, preferably with Glenda Jackson wearing a leather trench. When you think of it, there was more than a touch of Nordic structure to the magnificent GJ, who I once say play Hedda Gabler btw. Brilliant brilliant actor. As I say, more soon on Around the House. Just had to show this pic to my millions and millions and millions of worldwide fans. Isn't it lovely? #aroundthehouse #helsinki #oldporthelsinki #woodconstruction #largescalewoodconstruction #woodframe #sustainable #sustainablearchitecture #naturalmaterials #finnisharchitecture #carbonneautral #carbongoals #finnishwood #design #nordic #henrikibsen #vickysanderson #greatwriters #greatwritersthroughouthistory #greatestwritersofalltime

If you are in Minden and need a lil prezzie for a If you are in Minden and need a lil prezzie for a friend or a lil treat for yourself, I highly recommend dropping by @thewolfmoonshop. This handmade card by @holly_hutchison_art is so lovely I might just have to send it to myself. But then, wouldn't I also have to gift myself the cute socks, given I bought them with the intention of gifting? The only logical answer is yes, naturally. The card is a mini alcohol print that slides out of its card for framing. Inside it's blank so you can add your own message. If you are out there now thinking damn, I wish I was going to be the one to get those darling but inexpensive Sheer Fruits socks from Minden's prettiest store, don't worry - I got two more pairs of socks and another card to serve in just such a case. This is why I am world-renowned for my critical thinking skills. #wolfmoon #minden #haliburton #kawarthas #localbusiness #queerownedbusiness #gifts #housewares #cutesocks #haliburtonartists #handmadecard #cardart #alcoholprint #pinkink #selfcare #sockfashion #aroundthehouse
