Adam has decided that he doesn't want to be an altar server any more. My poor Catholic mama heart is breaking. Doesn't he look just perfect in his cassock and surplice? After he fainted at the altar on Christmas Day (yes, really), he's been afraid to serve. So I got one last picture to remember his serving days. He's not completely off the hook, though. I told him that he still has to serve for family weddings, funerals, and homeschool Masses.
I'm going to miss seeing him in his vestments. (Are they vestments, when he's just an altar server?)
Now, for the unrelated bit. I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier! Hubby & I like our morning (decaf) coffee, as I've said before. However, we often have leftover coffee. Being a coffee snob (who is so grateful to have an almost sister-in-law who works for Starbucks), I don't like it reheated. When in North Carolina this past weekend, I watched my friends reheat their coffee from the previous day's brewing and shuddered at the thought! I've debated pouring leftover java on the plants, but I don't want to harm them with too much nitrogen. I use the grounds in our compost, after having reused them at least once. But what to do with the leftover joe?
Put it in ice cube trays, and save it for iced coffee!
Why didn't I think of that sooner?! I freeze all kinds of things in ice cube trays - chicken broth, tomato paste (I can never use a full can, and hate to throw any away), homemade baby food; why not coffee?

What? I did something BEFORE YOU? I always do iced coffee with the leftovers. :)
I made you shudder at my reheated coffee!?! Hey, I hate to waste it but I hate it even more to wake everyone up to make a fresh pot when I want to start my day with a cup and some peace and quiet. I can have a cup in my hand in 90 seconds with minimal work. Mine, unlike yours, isn't decaf. :)
