I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!<br /><br />Congrats on accomplishing many of your goals.<br /> EXCELLENT.<br /><br />I could almost smell the coffee in your charming excerpt.<br /><br />Like you, I have been knitting like crazy to. Cold, snowy, and windy in CHicago,,,, you could never have enough scarves and hats. Currently working on a checker bordered one in midnight blue for myself ... a belated Christmas gift for ME. <br /><br />Yes, I would love to do a feature for your knitting blog. HOW FUN.<br /><br />I also have to watch the weight. I've been baking up a storm lately, but I do manage to burn it off at the gym, but barely.<br /><br />I thought about you and Montreal this Christmas. I wanted to spend it there, but unfortunately the finances wouldn't allow it. I am aiming for next year! I spent it in charming town three hours west of Chicago with small mountains and LARGE hills... JUST LIKE MONTREAL! LOL. So at least I had a bit of that feeling while there.<br /><br />I hope all your dreams and aspirations come true in 2013....ALL the best,<br /><br />MichaelMichael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-74485634798550707062012-12-27T16:45:24.029-05:002012-12-27T16:45:24.029-05:00Thanks so much, Sally!Thanks so much, Sally!Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-67062168899798654942012-12-27T06:21:12.030-05:002012-12-27T06:21:12.030-05:00I love the way you describe the way the coffee sme...I love the way you describe the way the coffee smelt and tasted and what effect it had after drinking it.

Geek Boy's consistent complaint is that there isn't enough biscuits or bread in the house.<br /><br />How awesome that you've met so many of your year's goals. Congrats.<br /><br />This story was great. Full of culture, and a recipe, and excellent characters in a unique setting. This feels like the start of a "tradition" and fits well with the RFW Holiday Spirit theme.<br /><br />I've missed your voice at RFW. Thanks for participating. And have and awesome end of year celebration Deniz :)<br /><br />..........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-74995348833029768022012-12-21T01:41:34.049-05:002012-12-21T01:41:34.049-05:00Congrats on reaching most of your goals!
