currents and crayons.

 Currently...

Crayons...

-The average American child uses 730 crayons by the age of 10.

-In 1958 Crayola changed its "Prussian Blue" to "Midnight Blue" in a response to teacher recommendations that children could no longer relate to Prussian history. 

-End to end, the number of Crayola crayons made in a year (3 billion) would circle the globe 6 times. 

That is all. 

la-la LOVE YA! 

{extraordinary books of facts}

the love of my life.

Today, it's all about coffee, and the perfect pour....

the breakdown...

If I divided the state of CALIFORNIA by coffee, we'd get, NorCal-Peets. SoCal-Coffee Bean 

Picking the best "fast food" coffee I'd say, Dunkin Doughnuts (East) 7-11 (West) 

BEST COFFEE in general? Blue Bottle. 

Coffee with the coolest cause, Bicycle Coffee.

Because coffee makes the perfect gift, go here!  

Some "like it hot" BUT on a toasty day, nothing beats, Coffee Bean's "Ice Blended"

I drink my coffee...black with 1 pack of sugar and a hint of cocoa. 

Best way to make coffee at home? Use a Chemex. 

My daily breakfast consists of coffee and this every morning...

dog treats.

First off, meet my dogs... 

 

Now, let me introduce you to their new favorite treat, peanut butter biscuits. They take after their owner (we all know about my PB obsession.) Who would have thought these betches would like something homemade? I'm not kidding guys, my dogs went crazy for 'em. Maybe they think it is human food? Well...it kinda is, but nawt really. 

Whatever, they actually sit for one!

Best part?

a. Feeding your dog "cookie dough" and NOT having to call the vet...

b. Saying you have tried dog food (btw, talk about bland)

PB Dog Treats

2 cups whole-wheat flour

1 tbsp. baking powder

1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)

1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 375'F. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk, then add to dry ingredients and mix well. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Bake for about 15 minutes on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown. Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container.

ps: when you give a dog peanut butter...
