C is for Car and F is for F-it
Gosh so my avid friend ADHD is always faithful to make sure I’m aboard the crazy train at all times- which turned me into a dog breeder. Long story short, Copper B Farms has blessed me with an abundance of new friends across the U.S. anddd one more thing to tend to. We are now up to 4 breeding dogs and with the stud dog (old papa bear the baloney pony) located a solid 3 hours away, I’m spending countless hours driving the pavement with a hairy/ready to get some side kick riding shotgun.
I’ve had car issues since I bought this thing. It’s spent more of its lifetime parked at the mechanic shop than at my house. Yesterdays shenanigan is topping all the cakes I’ve ever consumed in my life- I picked my vehicle up from the mechanic shop “freshly fixed”, threw the kids in and boogied our way to pick up my dog with a belly full of puppies.
As we were nearing the last 20 minutes to our destination burnt rubber smell was fuming through the air vents. I knew my trusty brakes or calipers that they just installed were burning up faster than dryer lint.
We got to the kennel and admired the smoldering front tire for 5 hours with our impregnated dog until my husband got there with a trailer to haul it home. He greeted me with a chain in his hands and said to take photos when we get home. That car is going down the road without me in it this time! #craigslistbound #notsad #shegone
C is also for Coffee
C is also for coffee. And caffeine. Two things I’m going to have a whole shipload of today.
I found this copper coffee pot at a local antique shop and was sold on the little cutie. I got it home and tried to brew up a pot only to find that my cup was kindly hosting all the grinds in there too. Here’s how I nailed that perfect coffee without a filter or waste.
Cowboy Coffee
Traditionally, cowboy coffee is made over a campfire, but you can brew it over any kind of heat source.
1. Fill Coffee pot with Water
Fill with desired amount of water that you would like to drink as coffee.
2. Bring water to a boil on stove top
3. Grind Coffee Beans
I use whole beans and grind in the morning. This method of coffee turns out best if the coffee grounds are chunky and rougher than finely ground packaged coffee.
4. Add grinds to cooled- boiled water
Coffee will become bitter if put in boiled water, let water slightly cool before adding grinds. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
5. Add a splash of cold water down the spout of the coffee pot
The cold water will drop the grounds to the bottom of the pot and your coffee is ready to enjoy!
Cowboys on the range would chug it black, but I don’t milk a cow for nothing so you can be sure I’m adding that sweet thick cream to my cup.
Why I love Cowboy Coffee
– Easy to make
– Can do it anywhere without any equipment or electricity if you brew over a fire
– Delicious and smooth
– No waste
