Rating: Its pretty rare that I get to write about something coffee related that gets my wife really excited. She has reached a point where my jabbering on about coffee has been somewhat tuned out.

Ordinarily the thought of spilling, much less wearing my coffee is enough to make me eye with suspicion every plastic cup lid that adorns my coffee. Like many, I have had my share of spilled coffee encounters. They haven’t been fun, and most of them have occurred in my car due to my inability to [...]
This last Saturday I found myself in Chicago’s Chinatown celebrating the Chinese New Year with my family. It was an unspoken given that we would be visiting the Aji Ichiban candy shop. After braving the bleak Chicago cold, it seemed like just the stop to keep my son in good spirits. Plus truth be told, [...]
