I remember the good ol' days of peer pressure at school, I'm pretty sure most of us did stupid things trying to be in the "In" crowd. Although this time is not really the same it kinda' reminds me of those days of peer pressure.

The other day when we had people over, after enjoying some delicious lamb chops I asked our guests if they would like to enjoy some fresh brewed Venezuelan coffee, obviously the answer was yes. Turns out we have a small four cups coffee maker, which I thought would take two pots to satisfy everyone's caffeine needs, eleven people...errr...WRONG. Now, this is a good time for a little cultural comparison; if we would have been all Venezuelans two four cups pots would have been enough...yeeah...not the same here. I was barely able to pour coffee for two when my little pot ran out. So, needless to say I had to make like five pots before it was enough for everyone, me and my little coffee pot were the joke of the day.

You might be wondering why we do we have a four cups coffee maker, well, we really don't need a bigger one because we don't drink coffee at home and we barely have people over, so the expense is not really justified (call me "el cheap-o"), we even have a espresso machine we got for our wedding and we have only used it twice.

Skip to the next day, I don't know if it was coincidence or what, while reading through my reader's feeds I get a deal thanks to Spoofee: ten cups Cuisinart coffee maker for $10 after $10 rebate; well, in less than what you can say "1-2-3 Karate Kid" I bought a new coffee pot...I mean, a deal like that justifies any expense!

So everyone is welcome to come to our house and have some nice Venezuelan coffee. Maybe next time I will use both coffee makers and the espresso machine at the same time...call it my own little coffee shop.
