big bad world

from postsecret.

bottle it up

armenian coffee.
my great aunt makes this instead of enjoying a regular cup o' joe.
first you grab a pot called a cezve (pronounced jazz-veh). add water, coffee and sugar and bring it to a boil over the stove. it rises surprisingly quickly.
...i've let it boil over a few times :(


before pouring the coffee into a demitasse cup, you spoon out the foam stuff that sits on top (which my great aunt calls kepuk). according to her, if it's a good cup, then the kepuk will cover the entire top. looks like this one was good : )


ask me and i'll make it for you!

future reflections

"This Fishbowl Sink concept is a unique way to get people to preserve water. The water in the fishbowl decreases as you wash your hands. The idea is to force people to shut the water off in order to save the fish. Once the faucet is off, the water refills."
