To Beat or to Grind — that is not a question
The Turks excel us in this. They employ no mill to torture the coffee, but beat it with wooden pestles in mortars. When the pestles have been long used, they become precious and are sold at great prices. I had to examine and determine whether in the result one or the other of the two…

Celebration Day — nine
In the same graceful manner, and similar genuine spiritual essence with which believers ought to be thankful when things go against their wishes, hard work ought to be seen as celebration. The usual number of circles turned when cranking any of my hand grinders,is commonly around four hundred and seventy, after which a single shot…

Hence, I find it a tad redundant pointing to these as exceptional…

Celebration Day — five
What is a day with attention lacking? In their ever emerging occurrence, thoughts may occasionally make us leave the physical moment.
