Oh, and while I'm jumping on online journal memes:
If you read this.. even if I don't speak to you often, please post a memory of me. It can be anything you want.. it can be good or bad... just so long as it happened. Then post this to your journal to see what people remember about you.
Personal, bad, worthless, insignificant, relationshippy, awkward, whatever...

Save me, i've become a LiveJournaler... If I start posting those images where you take a quiz and it shows you which character from greek mythology or your favorite anime you are just shoot me, ok?
"Stop! Who would cross the Bridge of Death must ask me
these questions three, 'ere the other side he see."
Do it, ask me three questions! I'll answer them. They can be about anything and I will do my best to answer. They don't even have to pertain to me, if you can't think of three things to ask about me or my life. Just ask three questions, dangit! Do it!! If you can't get my comments to work just send me an e-mail to nick at platypi007.net.
Ok, so if you know me or my sister you have probably heard a little about coffee roasting and it's wonders. You may even know that there is now a growing trend among coffee lovers (the true geeks, of course) of home coffee roasting. That is, buying the green coffee beans and roasting them yourself.
Well tonight I was looking up information on chocolate and I found two sites that sell green, unroasted CACAO beans (that's the chocolate bean for the uninformed) for people to roast at home, or if you don't want to actually roast the bean but use it from it's basic form to cook with, the roasted and husked beans ready for using to make your very own chocolate and such.
I'd love to get some of these! They are about $15 a pound from the two places I have found, which is a good deal more than most unroasted coffees, but man, it'd be so cool!!!
I really just want them so I can make the traditional chocolate drink which has no sugar in it, and a little pepper powder too, but I dont think that cocoa powder is quite the same as the crushed up bean, because you dont get the cocoa butter you just get the solids.
Yes, I am a total geek.
