Well boil my coffee!

Ok so how long does it take to boil coffee? Another simple answer... It takes about ten seconds less than it takes to do whatever it is you decided to do while waiting for your coffee to heat!  And why, exactly, would I want to boil my coffee you ask? This answer isn't so simple.  We live off grid, totally dependant on solar panels and a generator.  When the generator is running or the power is high I make my coffee in the pot just like I would if I lived in town.  Later when I want more coffee I reheat it in a little sauce pan on the stove. Yes, we have a microwave, four in fact, but I could pour a cup of coffee and run around the yard with it between my knees and get it hotter faster than any one of them so it's a sauce pan for me.  Until today that is.

I have a new purchase! Goody! I bought a tea pot that looks just like a coffee pot at a restaurant only this baby whistles!  Now when I forget my heating coffee the pot will at least tell me that its boiling when it starts boiling as opposed to five minutes later when my nose tells me when it catches the scent of burning coffee.  When I got it home the first thing I did was fill that baby up and let it go while I got the rest of the stuff out of the car.  Then I sat down and got lost in FB and wouldn't ya know it my sweet little tea pot whistled for me!  Our 'little' rottie was in the house and he got all bent outta shape when it started whistling.  He ran full tilt up under the table and sat there shaking and barking like a dog possessed! 

Tonight is "Date Night" for the hubs and I.  I just love date night.  I pick him up at work and on the way home we stop at Denny's for a bite to eat.

Oh before I go too far with the "hubs" thing I gotta say I'm not married.  Neither is he.  At least not legally.  Ours is a marriage of the heart.  I'm the wife of his heart and he's the husband of mine but in truth there is neither a husband nor a wife living here. I just wanted to clarify that. I don't know why, I just did. There. It's done now. So am I.  I'm gonna go start a fire and warm my fingers, it's funny how they get cold when I type.
