More info from the coffee game:
“A coffee cherry’s skin is called the exocarp. It is green until it ripens to a bright red, yellow, orange, or even pink, depending on variety. Green coffee cherries shouldn’t be confused with green coffee beans, which are the unroasted seeds from inside the ripe coffee cherry.” (Source)

Hot cocoa has a very small amount of caffeine. The amount of caffeine varies by brand. Learn more here.
“In 1675 King Charles II issued legislation to suppress coffee and chocolate houses, which he believed were “hotbeds of sedition”, although this was withdrawn within days.” (Source)

In this special episode of A Cup of Cozy my husband and I sit down in our home library and chat about his newest hobby, pinball. Learn about how we got into the pinball hobby, the story behind us buying our first pinball machine, and Travis’s adventure into building his own homebrew machine.
While pinball itself may not be cozy, having a hobby that you are passionate about and diving into it is. Travis shares some great advice about how to tackle big projects and why spending time on passion projects is important for your mental health.
