welcome, femina readers!

come on in! it's raining, but not in here. are you hungry? we'll whip something up in a jiffy. are you tired? put your feet up in our best leather chair. tell us your tale. we're good listeners.

and while you spin and weave, let me pour you something hot. a pot of tea? coming right up. i highly recommend the apricot. coffee? we'll pour you the best. joe will tell you what ethiopian farm it came from, how many minutes it was roasted, and whether to expect notes of blueberry or chocolate.
