I stepped away from the roaster and returned to this 😅

This is from my recent trip to Alaska. I traded a partial adult woolly mammoth tooth for this baby woolly mammoth mandible.

Saw this at my local grocery store. Made me chuckle...

Finally checked out the new Ladonia Fossil Park. Found some exogyras, petrified wood, baculites and gastropods. It was a fun day.

How did I do for my first time? If I'm aiming for first crack, is it like popcorn where I turn off the heat when the rate off popping starts to taper off?

Beans: Ethiopian yirgacheffe

Equipment: Stove top barrel

First crack: 14:01

My in-laws brought this back from Shanghai. They are enabling my addiction. Apparently this contraption goes on top of a portable burner and the motor rotates the cylinder. I've never roasted before. Guess I'll go empty my wallet.
