Harar!

Good morning!

There's something different in my coffee cup this morning ...

Ethiopian Harar from Fat Puppy!

Sean's tasting notes:

• This medium roasted Harar coffee reminds me of a dark fruit wine.  Think blackcurrant flavors.  You may even taste some cedar and chocolate.  It is a well balanced coffee with a good body and acidity.
• This coffee comes from a Co-op of farms from the eastern Harar region.

He's right when he says 'well balanced'.  There is a ton of aroma to this coffee, but the flavor isn't harsh at all.  I definitely taste a hint of the cedar too.  There is a spice to this coffee that I really like (but not spice in the 'hot sauce' kind of way).

Paired with a simple bagel so the coffee could get all of the attention this morning!

On a serious note, we were under tornado watches and warnings all night.  We're okay in Rehoboth, but the UCC church in Monson, Massachusetts (central MA) lost their steeple.

I can't even imagine.  Please be in prayer for this community!

Light 'n Fit Tuna Salad

Mmm - I love fresh salads!

We've been trying to stock up on pantry items (canned foods, frozen foods, etc.) that I can use in salads.  I came up with something delicious today!

Light 'n Fit Tuna Salad

Dark Romaine Lettuce

Whole Grain Rice (served warm)

Kidney Beans, rinsed (served cold)

Peas (served cold)

Tuna + (a small amount) Olive Oil Mayo

Sea Salt + Pepper

My goodness - this was amazing!  It's been so great to keep non-perishable salad fixin's at home - it's like having a salad bar in my house!
