ann arbor's freshest coffee roasted each and every day. - Wednesday, February 17th
Enter the Dragon Eye... Did you know you can buy coffee beans from us right here at our Rosewood facility? The RoosRoast Coffee Works is showing signs of life, 1155 Rosewood, Suite B. We're here Monday to Friday from roughly ten am to five-ish pm (on occasion, we're out delivering mid-day). Call ahead 734-709-9565 if in doubt!
Sometimes it's the simple things that are the best. We have been listening to A World of Jazz on Blue Note featuring Jazz greats like Horace Silver, Stanley Turrentine, Bobby Hutcherson, Joe Henderson and Donald Byrd. They're like flavor notes in a cup of joe.
Great Ideas and People:
There is going to be a feature in next month's Current by Nick Roumel on Friday Mornings at SELMA. He sent a message out on Facebook asking for stories about Selma. I had this one but he'd already submitted his story. I was crushed, but then I remembered I had my own media outlet with my five readers at this blog so here it is for you!
When Jeff (ManHug) McCabe called me last year with this idea of cooking breakfast at his house on Friday mornings from 6:30-10:00 for 100 people, I agreed to meet with him and Lisa and further discuss the idea. He had the chickens, so he had some eggs; Lisa had the waffles and mad skills in the kitchen (and they have the most amazing kitchen). Jeff really wanted to put it all into numbers and spread sheets. He asked me "How do you know you're ready?" and I said. "You just prep and cook." I remember him asking me over and over "How many eggs can you cook in an hour?" While he was working out the technical logistics, I captured the McCabe intensity and have it here to share with you. (see journal page above)
That was 2/15/09, and now they have turned this thing into a breakfast salon second-to-none. It's been a great year of ideas, connections, relationships and community knowledge. People rave about Fridays at Selma. Its pure genius and simplicity demonstrate that all you need is a good idea and community drive. Fresh food, coffee, and tea, freshly prepared, and actual people sitting around actually talking to one another - in person! Selma is living the life and walking the walk in such a valuable part of this community. Thank you Jeff, Lisa and Nevon for giving up your house and allowing everyone a chance to play.
Thanks go out Brian T. Barch rhymes with March, Michelle, Joanna, Becky, Bob, Matt Spears, Rob Daily, Recycle Reuse, the Sparrow Crew, the Produce Station (where Lobster Butter Love was voted Product of the Year!), Durham's Tracklements and all the others who are drinking RoosRoast.
