Ours
Readers…you can quit your Navajo basket weaving class now. We are back in cyberspace.
An embarrassingly long vacation with blissful summer nights of wine drinking and laissez-faire easy living á la Vanessa Paradis inexplicably morphed into a formidable and horrific creature which terrorizes everything around it but only during business hours. Do you know this beast?
If you have a full-time job, then we are now in your ranks. Yup, back into the Zombie workforce with us. A moment of silence please while we mourn the laid-back lifestyle we were perfecting into an art form.
Although we are now busier than Octomom at feeding time, this blog is back into the ring bringing you the accustomed tomfoolery that runs rampant on the Freecycle boards. Bear with us because we will not be bringing it on the daily like before until we can work out some scheduling kinks. I’m hoping salvation comes in the form of a wonder drug (over the counter, of course). This dream-capsule of medicine gives super human strength and endurance without diminishing one ounce of wit–all in one super dose. Pharmacists out there, reach out.
Hey, welcome back!

WANTED: Espresso maker & burr grinder (Portland area)

Seeking an espresso maker — Not a stovetop unit, but a “real”
self-contained unit. A pump machine would be ideal, but any espresso
machine would be a real gift.
Also seeking a coffee grinder for espresso — preferably a “burr” grinder.
Glad to pick up in the Portland area.

Seeking a Braun coffee grinder, or similar. This has a rotating
blade — not a burr. There’s a plastic cup on top, and a button on
top to turn the motor on while it is depressed.
Glad to pick up anywhere around Portland or perhaps further.
============& to complete the kitchen want-list ===========
WANTED: Full size food processor (Portland)

Seeking a full size food processor. People refer to these as
“Cuisinarts” but that’s just a brand name. We’d be as happy with one
by Hamilton Beach, or any other manufacturer. In fact, we had a
Hamilton Beach #70610 whose motor failed and can’t be replaced, but
we’ve still all the attachments for it.
Glad to pick up in the greater Portland area.
