We got rocked by tornadoes last night. Okay, it wasn’t really that bad. Tornadoes in Texas are much much scarier. But I guess it was pretty bad that it ripped through downtown as opposed to some field in Boring, Texas. Right now east Atlanta is getting destroyed by 3.5″ diameter hail. That’s like baseball sized.

Meanwhile, I just tossed a loaf of bread in the oven. This is actually my second loaf of Bittman’s no-knead bread with a few modifications by Cook’s Illustrated and yours truly. I hope it turns out better this time around. Last time was good, but could have been better. Homemade bread is sooo much tastier and cheaper than the $4 loaves from the market.

Thanks to my ex-GP, I’ve finally taken the plunge to start roasting my own coffee beans. I just bought an appropriate hot air popcorn popper (Poppery II) to hack and about to order some green coffee beans. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but he impressed me with how easy and tasty it was – and he doesn’t even drink coffee. I’ll update on how it turns out.

Update: 

A picture is worth a thousand words.  One of those words is success.  Another one is delicious.
