The byproduct of over-roasting

Two batches roasted well, but the third became charcoal. I typically manage the timing for transitions in temperature well. Even today, the two successful runs were accomplished in parallel with making yogurt. It was quite an interrupt-driven scenario for someone with focus and attention issues to orchestrate. And so, coffee burned, and yogurt was spared a similar fate when Jen noted I'd failed the crucial step of adding water to the maker. s.M.tl. It was still a productive day, with leaves being blown and raked in the front yard, ball play with Lucky, and a long and rewarding drive up to Point Richmond to have dinner with Jack and Judy at Biancoverde at Hotel Mac. A great meal, live jazz, laughter, and conversation. I am grateful that we have begun to connect as couples and to have known Jack as far back as the mid-80s.
