Tissue paper that's accumulated in your home over the year. Don't think of tissue paper as only the "inside layer" of wrapping, use it on the outisde.<br /><br />2. Fabric. Wrap it like regular wrapping or tie it up like a satchel. Old sheets cut-up work great as well.<br /><br />3. Twine. Forget store-bought ribbons, twine is so cheap it's almost free (get it at your local hardware store) and it's naturally grown.<br /><br />4. Beads. To add extra flourish or color to your twine-ribbon, thread a bead onto either end of the twine and tie a know at the end to keep the bead secure. No need to have them match, any random bead you might find will do.<br /><br />5. Brown paper bags. Even better than recycling them is re-using them.<br /><br /><br />6. Newspaper. Choose their favorite section of the paper and add some further decorations with markers.<br /><br /><br />7. Tins or glass bottles. If the package itself is attractive enough, there's no need to wrap it. Get naked this year and forgo the wrapping altogether!<br /><br />8. Magazines. Paste together a bunch of pages that incorporate the recipient's interests.<br /><br />9. Gift within a gift. If one of the gifts can be used as wrapping, then do so! For example an apron wrapped around cooking utensils.<br /><br />10. Print out an image online. If the gift is small enough to be wrapped in one sheet of printer paper, then find a fun image online, print it out and use this as the wrapping.queenofcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02609414819436779796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600323860406766662.post-36350744075400281252009-12-11T21:10:00.000-08:002009-12-11T21:25:52.333-08:00Attack of the Killer Brisket- Happy Hanukah! <meta name="Title" content=""><meta name="Keywords" content=""> <meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 10"> <meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 10"> <link rel="File-List" href="file:///Users/A/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Clipboard/msoclip1/01/clip_clip_filelist.xml"> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:documentproperties> <o:template>Normal</o:Template> <o:revision>0</o:Revision> <o:totaltime>0</o:TotalTime> <o:pages>1</o:Pages> <o:words>258</o:Words> <o:characters>1471</o:Characters> <o:company>A Karno Photography</o:Company> <o:lines>12</o:Lines> <o:paragraphs>2</o:Paragraphs> <o:characterswithspaces>1806</o:CharactersWithSpaces> <o:version>10.260</o:Version> </o:DocumentProperties> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:displayhorizontaldrawinggridevery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery> <w:displayverticaldrawinggridevery>0</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> <w:usemarginsfordrawinggridorigin/> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--> <style> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Times;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style> <!--StartFragment-->It’s Hanukah, but I’m too busy filling Christmas orders of Java Juice, I forgot<o:p></o:p> all about it, like I do every year!

Originally, the organic liquid coffee extract, ( or concentrate) was created as an efficient way to produce iced-blended-mocha drinks. The reasoning was this: Blended mocha drinks are traditionally made by pulling a shot of hot espresso and pouring it over ice. This dilutes ice and hence the flavor of the drink. In addition, the method is time and labor intensive. The liquid extract makes a this faster, more flavorful drink, Java Juice soon became the standard at Karno’s five popular Los Angeles coffee houses in LA. <br /><br />www.groundworkcoffee.comqueenofcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02609414819436779796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600323860406766662.post-39600754684427899582009-12-05T16:51:00.000-08:002009-12-05T16:53:56.914-08:00Organic VS Conventional CoffeeConventional coffee cultivation is an intensive agricultural enterprise that depletes the land and relies on large amounts of chemical pesticides and herbicides, many of which are banned in North America but still commonly used in emerging countries where coffee is normally grown. We import not just the beans, but also the residues and any potential health problems. <br /><br />Organic coffee production, on the other hand, promotes land stewardship, minimizes negative impacts on people and the environment, and does not promote the use of chemicals. Many, but certainly not all, health risks associated with coffee drinking may, in fact, be related to chemical and pesticide residues rather than the coffee itself. In addition, many organic certification and marketing organizations promote fair trade practices, providing a better return for farmers. These practices, plus the fact that organic coffee producers generally use only the best quality beans, which are naturally low in acid and caffeine, can lead to a better night’s sleepqueenofcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02609414819436779796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600323860406766662.post-29197280506190018202009-06-01T21:45:00.000-07:002009-11-05T12:12:48.247-08:00Please, don't use the i-WordOur little company business is called Java Juice. It's a little portable packet of organic coffee extract, that, if the so called "investors" are correct, will replace Nescafe in the market occupying what we now call "instant." However, Java Juice is NOT instant coffee.<br /> <br />It is a pre-brewed extract, or concentrate that you add water to make a cup of coffee. Getting buyers to understand the concept of extract has been more of a challenge than I ever thought it would be. It turns out attracting new consumers is a challenge. <br /><br />1- They have a tendency not to read packaging.<br />2- Are reluctant to replace old products for<br />new<br /><br />My job, is to pare down the description of the process of extraction in consumer- friendly terms. Coffee extracting is expensive and technically complex. The process of making extract is a bit like making coffee from a Godzilla-sized French press. It yields a more concentrated elixir than espresso, which is why you need to add it to water. We packaged our extract into little half-ounce packets of nitrogen-flushed packets. The little buggers have a 200 lb. PSI rating that means they can take a beating. Just take one in your hand and try to crush it. Ok, those are the essentials. But how to distill this to a simple phrase? Here's what I came up with. <br /> <br />“Rip it, Drip it, (add h20) & Sip it”<br /><br />or how's this?<br /><br />"ABC, Already Brewed Coffee."<br /><br />So, what do you think? <br /><br />It isn’t a product that one uses straight from the packet, as say some skate board maniacs are wont to do. Please don't do that.<br />Honestly. It's meant to have water or milk, or soy milk added!<br /><br />What do you think?queenofcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02609414819436779796noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600323860406766662.post-23348636371216118392009-02-16T11:25:00.000-08:002009-12-05T17:31:28.208-08:00Rave Reviews from round the kingdom**************************************************************************************<br /><br />“A smooth finish on the pallet, extraordinary to cook with!”<br />Christian Clegg- chief Executive Chef Promontory Point<br /><br />Greg Kennedy, Owner - Gearheads Outdoor Store, Utah<br />“Java juice is the easiest way to make great coffee in the field.”<br /><br />“I was the envy of camp every morning as I sipped my aromatic cup of Java Juice! The highlight of my day in the Gobi Desert!! I brought lots of packets to pass around and got rave reviews.” Terri Schneider - http://www.terrischneider.com<br /><br />“ To compare Java Juice with instant would be ridiculous, and I’m done with playing around with field French presses or percolators. You’ve hit a home run.”<br />Nelson Rosen, MAJ, MC, USAR - Surgical Team<br /><br />“After you add water, sip it don’t chug it. Java Juice® is the port wine of coffee extract.”<br />Martin Kirk, President - Bag Select<br /><br />" This is coffee-house quality, coffee house caffeine, climbing bum price. Only drawback I have found, it is damn hard to find, so if you find some, buy it, and if you don’t like it, send it to me!” Jason Magness- yogi - www.yogaslacker.com<br /><br />“I just tried my first cup of Java Juice and its awesome! It is very close to some coffee I had over 30 years ago while in Puerto Rico at a coffee plantation. I’ve never had anything since that tasted as good. There is no acid aftertaste. The plantation would pick the ripe beans, dry them in the sun like raisins, then boil the beans until there was a thick syrup which they then added hot water. I’ve been thinking about that<br />coffee ever since.
