Clearance espresso FTW.
Yes, the second post on this blog is about coffee. There will be many, many posts about coffee. This one is pretty cool, maybe because it was totally random. We were over on The West Side (here, that means the other side of the Cascade mountains, since we're now on the east side) for the weekend. Sometimes we call it The Wet Side. I know, clever.
Anywhoo, we needed some ingredients for Sefton's cake so we were at QFC. We found what we were looking for and were just trying to get from the back of the store (does keeping milk in the back of the store really compel people to pick up extra things?) to the front. We picked an aisle not crammed with after-work shoppers on their way home for dinner. The baby aisle, I think. Oh, look at that, the clearance bin. K and I make a habit of at least glancing at the clearance bin. You never know what you might find.
Case in point:
A whole lot of coffee. A whole lot of really good coffee. Like Zoka and Bellingham Coffee Roasters. Normally this stuff is $15 or so for a twelve-ounce bag. Nope, it was $5.99. $6.99.
So now we're learning how to store freshly-roasted coffee. The million-dollar question: To freeze or not to freeze.
