Retirement is one great big giant coffee break.

- The word ‘coffee’ is pronounced almost the same in every language around the world.
- After water, coffee is the second most widely-consumed beverage in the world. (Tea is a close third.)
- When you drink coffee, your brain shrinks a little, which is why some advise drinking coffee if you have a headache.
- When making an espresso, 65% of the caffeine is extracted from the beans, whereas the French-press method of making coffee extracts 98% of the caffeine.
- There are two hundred flavors components present in raw (green) coffee beans, but roasted beans have over two thousand present.
- The first steam-pressured espresso machine was invented by a Frenchman in 1901.
- In Italy, 80% of the coffee consumed is espresso while the other 20% are milk-based coffee drinks like cappucino. Outside of Italy, those numbers are reversed.

Decor you can buy…
I signed up as an affiliate marketer for a few companies that reflect my kind of Relentless Decorating.
What does Affiliate Marketing mean?
It means I get a small commission if you buy using my link or code at the checkout. This helps me pay for my website without pop up ads!
Signature Homestyles
I started selling Signature Homestyles, and a couple other “home party plan” products lines, the early part of 2006. I still have and use their products today. Out of all I sold, Signature Homestyles is the only company that is still in business, so I decided to sign up for their Shopify Collabs program so I could share some of their products on Rustic Country Market Living.
Signature Homestyles offers my followers $10 off a minimum $50 purchase. (Limited to one use per customer.)

I will occasionally feature items on my Rustic Country Market Living facebook page. Let me know if you buy something you love!

Fermenting Peppers for Hot Sauce
I recently started fermenting peppers grown in my garden for hot sauce, so I’m new at this. I have between 25 – 30 peppers in my garden and greenhouse.
I was surprised when I loaded some very hot peppers in the batch and the finished product was not as hot as I expected. It seems that the fermentation process mellows out the heat.
I highly recommend fermentation because it creates a great flavor. It is my understanding that you can ferment for 48 hrs or up to 1 year.
