Find a store coffee store that sells medium roast Brazilian and most times you can get it for half the price, can buy a lot of peppermint sticks with that.

ARIOSA Coffee,=Arbuckles Rio South America.


The bread is still in the bowl, so I'll have coffee before I deal with it.  Got garlic to peel later, nuther project.  Rita wants me to run to Sum Mart, they have boneless chicken teats on sale.  I guess I'm gettin' old, I forgot about it.  Besides why risk freezer burn, we had chicken last weekend.

Oh and for Arcey and his trip:

Mornin.  Just gettin at the Cawfee.

Fer all ya crock fans, I run across a recipe that I really liked cause it didn't have no measurments in it.  You'd think the gal what wrote it knew me personal like.  Any how, slice a whole onion an a whole bell (I used a red), put half of both in the bottom a the pot, lay in a couple boneless pig chops, then put the other half of the onions an pepper on top.  Then ya dump a bunch a brown sugar (I only had a little in the cupboard so I added some pancake syrup) on it an cover it with ketchup.  Low heat all day an ya got somethin good.  Rice would be good with it but I weren't up ta the task, ate it outta a bowl like a stew.

Bout 36 an clear skies, dog went back ta bed an I made oat meal ta cut the chill.

[Stu Kettle]

The Winter Storm Watch has been canceled on this end of the state - now its a Blizzard Watch in effect through Saturday afternoon.  Been wondering if we were going to get a winter - 'spectin' 6 to 12 inches of snow - the moisture will be welcome, but I'd prefer it didn't pile up so high.  With the 30 mph wind their predictin' the drifts will get high around my house - may be stayin' home for a while.

[Texas Lawdog]

I hate to hear about you folks in Nebraska getting the Blizzard over the weekend. It's up to 60 and sunny now. Victoria is lying on the patio, enjoying the sun. I had cereal and toast for breakfast. Late lunch of unkown origin to follow.

[Delmonico]

Fer all ya crock fans, I run across a recipe that I really liked cause it didn't have no measurments in it. 

Recipes have measurements?

[Delmonico]

Sourdough Czech rye bread is in the oven right now, gonna mix some more later, need to cut pig parts first.

[Stu Kettle]

Recipes have measurements?

Yeah, like "some"  or  "handful" or "gob"

[Arcey]

Been doin' ''Bouts'. 'Bout this much er 'bout that much.......... Maybe a l'il more.........

The damned gigglin' woman'd stayed the hell home the range woulda been perfect. Three lanes o'er ya heard..... BANG! Te Hehehehehehe! BANG! Te Hehehehehehehe! She wuz it the counter rentin' a G26 when I got there. Ain't no way she had the sense ta know. Someone musta wrote it down fer 'er.

Got rid ah the old issue stuff t'was in the Smith. Went in the same holes the practice stuff went in. Shot fifty, come home with fifty one pieces of brass. Good day.

Finished up too early ta go ta Doumar's. Did the bank thing downtown. Beat the choo-choo from Harbor Park ta the Curlew Drive park 'n ride - again. Rain's quit, sun's out. Soup ain't bubblin' yet. Got dishes ta do.

[Delmonico]

Off to get chicken, she reminded me.   Guess it's fried fowl tonight, the 20 boneless pork chops are in the freezer, about 3/4 pound each.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Yum!!!!!!!!!

Well I got my Fed. and State pound of flesh done today.   Came out okay, refunds on both. Larger this year because of the award/buyout. Next year................bupkiss probably, especially if the current administration stays in......

[Delmonico]

They didn't have the chicken, got chopped steak instead.  I see samwhiches.

[Leo Tanner]

We got yardbird thawin.  Ain't named it yet.
As fer yesterday we et well.  Afore the crock mess we had somma this.



Still tryin ta get the new camera ta please me, guess I'm gettin picky with the picture quality.

[Leo Tanner]

Thinkin it is more interested on focusin the background. 

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, The finished product still looks good. I wouldn't mind having that for supper as well as breakfast. We've got leftover tortilla soup and a pot of pinto beans for supper. Both sound good. I'm still full from the BBQ last night. It's cloudy and 70 right now.

[Delmonico]

I fell sorry for this guy, but it's hard not to laugh:

[Texas Lawdog]

The guy won't ever be able to live the incident down. I'm sure that his fellow workers as well the locals have a big laugh.

[Arcey]

If I wrote what I'd like to.......................... Bad............... Funny, but bad......................

Soup werked. Be nice ta have in the Thermos Saturday. Hated ta see the last of the potlikker go. Looked it the collards yestitty. What they had wasn't lookin' all too healthy. Prolly won't be makin' no more no time soon.
