I won't be having any of that. I will have the leftover Mexicanish rice from

I made some kim chee fried rice. My guts feel like it's tightening up. I'll bet that sour kim chee fried rice would do a real number on your guts. I have to go to a meeting in a couple of hours. We are having it at Denny's. Just thinking about that is intensifying that grip on my guts. I should never eat anything before going to a Denny's. I'll have to get good and hungry first. This would be the only way that I'm not going to feel ill on meeting night. Ha ha, next time.

Sorry. Last time I went to Denny's, two of us had an order of bacon, one had
a smoothie and one had a banana split. Amazingly enough, they didn't mess
those things up. I once had some really thick cut bacon at a local place
that they somehow managed to burn and yet it was as limp as Mr. Humphries
wrist from "Are You Being Served?"

I know that Denny's used to have good coffee and soup. The green salads were
fine too. But anything else? Might be okay or might make you wish you hadn't
ordered it.

Tonight's dinner will consist of two small pan fried pork chops that I
just defrosted in the nuker, some Green Giant frozen broccoli
florettes, and a couple of small white spuds nuked. A slab of freshly
baked Dunkin Heinz chocolate fudge box cake w/orange glaze.
All washed down with a liter of Crystal Palace! LOL-LOL

The dinner I had last night was not bad. I had a Southwest turkey melt sandwich and a small bowl of vegetable soup. It was 6 bucks. I ate one half and took the other half home for the little lady. That's some serious value. The server got short changed though. I gave her a 22% tip but I usually will tip at least 2 bucks.

OTOH, I've never had a good cup of coffee at Denny's. Places like that should have one guy doing QC on the coffee. It's that important. McDonald's can make a good, consistent cup of Joe and sell it for a buck. They understand the importance of a proper cup of coffee.

McDonald's coffee here is not good. I have tried it personally but people
who have tell me that it always tastes like it has been in the pot for a
very long time. Then again, people around here love Starbucks. I have been
told that the best coffee is at a Chevron station near here.

Good coffee will be anywhere you can find it. The fast food joint that was next door to my office had wonderful coffee a few years ago. I thought I had died and gone to coffee heaven. Of course, it didn't last, but that period was the best time in my life - coffeewise.

I can brew a great cup of coffee in my cheap drip machine with a freshly opened bag of coffee. That lasts for 3 or 4 days. After that, it loses that fresh bag taste. I guess it must oxidize or something. That's the breaks.

You need to make a strong brew to cover up the funky taste of your tap
water. Even the finast restaurants use plain old funky tap water. For
the price of a few pounds of premium coffee beans you can install a
Reverse Osmosis filter. I use RO water for coffee, tea, and ice
cubes.... RO water costs about 5¢/gallon. Btw, bottled water is funky
tap water from someone elses tap... only fools buy bottled water. I
fill my own bottles with RO water. RO water is produced at point of
use, doesn't run through miles of filthy metal pipe.

Â* Don't hold back Sheldon , tell us how you REALLY feel . You have no
idea what my water tastes like , and are not qualified to judge in any
case . FWIW our water comes from wells into a deep aquifer , and is very
good tasting . It is hard , but that's probably why it tastes sweet
instead of like recycled sewage . Depending on where you live , it's
very likely you're making your coffee with somebody else's recycled **** .

So you start with nice RO water....but then you use that cheap
pre-ground canned Walmart coffee. LOL!

I *am* just teasing here, Sheldon. I plan to try their coffee
next time I go. You've said it is good several times so I'll give
it a try.

You're who's rife with assumptions.
My water is from my own private deep well too... I know how your water
tastes...... hard water makes for lousy coffee, lousy everything which
is why mine is softened, but RO filtered for coffee/drinking.
In fact I have two wells. the other is deeper and produces more than
twice the volume but is also twice as hard so that water is primarily
used for irrigation and washing schmutz off tractors.
I've used water from my own private wells for more than 50 years, I
know a lot about well water. Most municipalities are on well water,
unless properly treated well water is lousy.
Generally speaking aquifer and reservoir water is far better quality.
http://www.nswcawater.org/water_fact...rs-the-basics/
http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/dri...er/index.shtml
I recently doubled the capicity of my RO water to meet the needs of
the humidifier I use during the heating season... buying distilled
water gets expensive plus hauling all those gallons home is a big job.
RO water is as close to distilled as it gets... actually in some ways
RO is purer than distilled that sits in cheapo plastic jugs for months
becoming tainted from plastic out gassing and breeding bacteria. My
humidifier uses four gallons every 24 hours, RO costs me 20¢,
distilled costs $8.... only cost $50 to double the RO's capacity.

I used to grind my beans, perhaps I'll start doing this again since I've got more leisure time. I wouldn't think your coffee is too strong. Bring it on, man!

My Swedish step-mom is wonders why Americans favor weak coffee. I'm inclined to agree. The last time we ate together at a restaurant, she brought my dad a cup of coffee and told him to sip up all the bubbles floating on top of the brew. She called it "money" and said if you get all of it you'll be rich. I told her that the restaurant didn't rinse off all the detergent when they washed it. She didn't find it funny - such things, Swedes are likely to do.

Walmart is BIGLY, they can offer the best and at small prices.
I've never been disappointed with any Walmart branded product... they
offer the very best EVOO at low cost. Walmart's EVOO is very bland
but they don't claim it to be flavorful estate oil. Most people
haven't a clue what "EVOO" means (especially RFCers), has not a whit
to do with flavor, has only to do with purity. The majority of RFCers
are NOT foodies.

Beats the heck out of me why people want to brag about how their water is so filthy they have to filter it on a molecular level in order to make it drinkable. Our water is filtered through several thousand feet of volcanic rock. It takes decades to reach the point where it's extracted. It's great water - water worth bragging about. Of course, my humble nature prevents me from doing this.

I grind my own beans each morning, too, for a 16 ounce mug. My whole beans
are stored in a Tupperware coffee canister. It took me a few mugs when I
bought my burr grinder to find the right amount so the coffee is not too
weak nor too strong.

Because they're Anglos and tea drinkers. So they want their coffee to
resemble tea. It's been getting a lot better though. At least in
Australia. Might be the wog influence.

My first sous vide dinner was good and bad. The cremini mushrooms
have never tasted better, the spuds although sliced, were not cooked
and the steak was more cooked than I care for. However, given that
for me it was overcooked, I see the potential in the method because it
still remained moist and flavourful. So I have learned, times, water
temps etc probably have to be worked on to arrive at getting a meal
how you like it.

I think having the machine and its ease of operation will encourage me
to eat a bit better than I tend to recently, simply because I can't be
bothered anymore.

I am awakened every morning to the sound of the electric coffee
grinder. My husband grinds the beans for my pot of drip coffee fresh
every day.

Yes, I'm spoiled.

I'm looking for a cheap coffee grinder - something under 20 bucks. I went to the market looking for some French roast whole bean coffee. Oddly enough the nice lady that was stocking the shelves said there was no French roast in whole bean. Ha ha, there must be some kind of coffee shortage going on. She did suggest some 100% Kona for 15 bucks. Ha ha, who does she think I am, Rockerfella? I think she was only making suggestions for the coffees from the company that she was working for. Anyway I should be drinking whole bean very shortly. Thanks!

Â* I don't think you're going to find anything but a whirly-blade unit
for that . Decent burr grinders start around 35 bucks or so . I buy my
coffee at Walmart . Ours carries six o clock brand beans - I mix
Columbian Peaks 50/50 with Italian roast and grind medium/fine for a
coffee with rich full flavor without an acid bite .

Yes, $20 will only get him a blade grinder, a burr grinder, which I
have, is a bit more expensive and I think gives much better results.

I buy the Eight O'clock brand of whole beans for my morning cup of
Joe.

You might like Trung Nguyen - it's one smooth cup of coffee. Smoother than 100% Kona. It's amazing. Its grind is the finest I've ever seen. This stuff works best with a drip machine. It's not suitable for French press.

Dude, you forgot to post a description of photo! Your utter disregard for people that could still be using dial-up at 1200 baud on their Commodore 64s is appalling. These people have better things to do than download photos of god-knows-what into their limited memory space. Repent before it's too late.

Out of respect for those unfortunate souls with dial-up, I shall do what you should have done in the first place!

Oddly enough the nice lady that was stocking the shelves said there was no French roast in whole bean. Ha ha, there must be some kind of coffee shortage going on. She did suggest some 100% Kona for 15 bucks. Ha ha, who does she think I am, Rockerfella? I think she was only making suggestions for the coffees from the company that she was working for. Anyway I should be drinking whole bean very shortly. Thanks!

I went to the drug store and found some whole bean coffee and a cheap grinder for 18 bucks. I am anticipating a heightened coffee experience in less than 24 hours - praise the Lord!

It is a blade grinder. I also have another grinder coming in from Amazon as backup.

Arrghh! Mea culpa! I wasn't one of those lucky high-speed kids
though. I used a Vicmodem (model 1600) at 300 baud for both my
Vic-20 then later the C-64. It was plenty fast enough for my
text-only online use at the time.

I've still got all that too..both computers and many of the
extras like disk drive, 8k ram extension cartridge (lol). I think
I even have a 16K ram cartridge (boioinngg!). Printer too. Many
game cartridges and naturally a box of my own software all stored
on cassette tapes.

My first modem:
http://www.commodorespain.es/wp-cont...-imagen-01.jpg
This package also came with a cassette tape of very basic
terminal software. Side one for the Vic-20 and side two was for
the C-64

I was going to take a pic of mine on my signature kitchen counter
with pez ferret but this one is the same and isn't all blurry.

Nice deal...coffee and grinder for only $18.
I've used a gifted Krupps blade grinder for around 25 years. Used
it for coffee for many years then switched use and it produced
the powder for 'warm gravy meals' for ferrets for 6.5 years. Good
reliable brand. It's still here...saved for future ferret meal
use.

I've never had a problem with blade grinders vs burr grinders.
And actually these days, I buy pre-ground cans of coffee. Tastes
just as good to me without all that prep nonsense in the morning.
I set up my coffee machine the night before. In morning, go turn
it on and wait a few minutes.

"Blade Grinder" is an oxymoron... it's either a blade or a burr, can't
be both... plus a blade cannot grind.
An Atlas is an excellent coffee/pepper mill... originally made for the
Greek army for grinding coffee beans:
https://www.amazon.com/Pepper-Mill-I...as+pepper+mill
I have one that I use for pepper but I've also used it for coffee...
the burr is adjustable for the preferred grind... this mill is built
to last several lifetimes.... there are several styles/sizes.

Well done! You're more pedantic than I am.

I have one of those whirly blade thingies but very rarely use it
because it makes all size bits and finally a powder... deinitely not
good for coffee beans. Occasionally I'll use it to make powdered
spices. When it takes on a strong odor say from cinnamon stick
whizing plain dry rice will remove most of the odor.... or whiz some
granulated sugar, cinnamon sugar can be used in various recipes, like
baking/dusting a cake. I rarely ice/frost a cake, I prefer prettying
it up with powdered sugar.... place in a small strainer and tap, tap,
tap all over the cake.

A computer with 64KB of memory for 600 bucks? That was revolutionary back in 82. It was so compelling that I knew I had to get one by the time I finished reading the press release. That was one of the biggest no-brainer ever. It was so big that it is the best selling computer ever.

I learned more on that machine about programming in a week than the college level programming course I took in 74. Those computers forced you to think about things in a formal, sequential manner, didn't they? That might be useful for kids these days.

Getting my greasy little paws on a C-64 may have been the best experience of my life although, buying a 1541 drive and then another one might have been the worst experience in my life.

The coffee was 4 bucks, the grinder was under 18. Amazon is sending me another one which I hope will be quieter and easier to clean. This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

Speaking of oxymorons, this could be the biggest, most exciting, piece of non-news ever to hit the street! Thank you, thank you.
