Night 3: DC's favorite Cookies (to celebrate safe returns)

More fennel salad (adding orange and mustard - a bit overwhelming, actually)

Ginger-tangerine stir-fry with peppers and pea pods.

 The Isomac - Revealed!!!

It has two gauges so you can tell exactly how much pressure is going through the grounds.

It also looks like a robot, which means it is even more awesome.

My goal in 2008: Learn to pull a "God Shot"!
