7 Year Anniversary

7 seems like a lucky number, so I thought it worthy to make a blog post on my 7 year anniversary of landing in London.

7 years and 2 weeks ago today I said good bye to my colleagues and friends from Chicago, packed my belongings into a U-Haul and began my journey to the UK. Here are two photos of me from August 2004.

A new coffee pot

I put my stove top espresso maker in the dishwasher a few weeks ago and unfortunately the dishwasher salts didnt react kindly to the aluminum and it was instantly destroyed. I finally got around to replacing it by ordering this one from Alessi as a special treat and it arrived today in the post. Even the packaging is cool!

Sunday morning just isnt quite the same without the smell of freshly brewed coffee...

(Thank you Philippa!)
