thenewgreen, may just I steal you answer? Startup/house/music. I'm even looking forward to World Cup.

I'm also getting a disproportionate amount of enjoyment from what is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the most insignificant thing I'm working on: experimenting with cold-press coffee roasts and brewing. A cold brew yields a coffee syrup that keeps for a long time, to which you can add 3-4 parts water, plus a splosh of cream and a couple ice cubes to make an insanely delicious warm weather drink. My wife didn't realize that the bottled brew I made was a concentrate and proceeded to down around 16 oz straight with enough cream to cut it. She basically had 8 cups of coffee yesterday morning. My bad.

The insignificant is sometimes the most important! Sounds awesome Ed! Summer's still a long ways off here in the arctic...

Quick video about cold brewing. I like that channel, they have some fun DIY projects.

Something about a cold press brew with cream over ice. I could drink a gallon of it I swear.. Use whipping cream too instead of half & half...ridiculously good.

That actually reminds me of a specialty store I used to walk past on the way to work every day when I lived in Boston. They'd have these ice-cold glass bottles of chocolate milk, but it wasn't chocolate milk, it was chocolate added to heavy cream. I'd get one almost every day. I was trying to express to my uncle a couple years ago how amazingly good this tasted and I succeeded in that his nipples got hard at my description. His wife looked at him with a mix of incredulity and disgust. I think we were all a little freaked out. But that's what I'm trying to say here...it's that good. Cream makes anything with milk that much better.
