The Coffee House

Quick iPhone shot of our club's 1936 McCormick-Deering in the storage barn (under repair, awaiting a magneto recharge) caught in the beam of a skylight.

I'm in love

All of the soil is for 2, 4'x8'x18" raised vegetable garden beds. It's way easier to move the nice loose mix that was dumped in my driveway than to attempt to dig up my rocky natural soil.

Plus...vegetables are healthy, right? So this will be a win win. Hopefully, I'll be swimming in produce between the middle of August and the first freeze in October.

We always end up with way more than we can eat, just the two of us. Make sure you have a plan for your excess if you end up with any. Canning and pickling are really easy and will help you keep the cost down and the healthfulness up even in the winter months.

Good luck!

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Last night Gary and Mary Lou shared a delightful dinner, pan cooked Tilapia with backyard herb, a freshly picked tomato salad with green beans, snow peas and peppers and Gary's Famous Mashed Potatoes filled with herbs and butter and Mexican Cream and cheeses and washed down with this Wolfe Chardonnay (SLO) which was full of complexity but still retained a silky smoothness. With the first hit, Gary says to himself "Wow ... this is a Chardonnay!" Gary has been appreciating wine for some long that a "Wow" is hard to come by. So much wow from a simple Chardonnay. Gary and Mary Lou have a small circular pub height table which has a view of the Tv. We ate at The Pub watching the news in the background, (Gary and Mary Lou are news geeks), then after dinner retired to the patio with our Chardonnay. A very pleasant evening was had by all.

PS- Gary ordered some Adrano Volcano Coffee from Brazil. We'll see how that roasts up.

Ahhhh ... The Precious ... the precious is being well taken care of. The Precious likes cast iron. (Gary like The Precious for outdoor cooking because he doesn't have to worry about propane. Gary is too lazy to run a gas line to the BBQ patio, so he struggles keeping the propane tanks filled.)

PS- ... Your Precious?

 

[jcdeboever]

I like Tilapia. It's shaped like my state.

PS- ... Your Precious?

I'm coming for my precious.

 

[Gary A.]

LOL ... in a few minutes you gotta hang a right.

The bottom part of your state is shaped like a hand (the square is Detroit)

I'd think it would be pre-roasted.

It has arrived and appears quite green to Gary.

I gotta love junior hockey... guy selling the beer is fixing the glass! lol Not really, but the beer guy was on camera standing there with the post that popped out in one hand and his tray of beers on his shoulder talking to people in the stands. Gave the announcer a laugh. 4 minute game delay while somebody came out and really fixed the glass (while the beer guy apparently went back to selling his beers). Obvious who is more favored by the fans!

2 goals and another stoppage... I don't know what for, but one of the officials has been on the phone awhile. Meantime the camera guy was talking to one of the linesman, had him on camera on the ice with no sound standing there talking and laughing... just reminds me of our minor pro games. One time during a wild game I was taking pictures at ice level and one of the linesman getting ready to drop the puck looked at me and shook his head... and I just laughed... That's what's fun about the minors and juniors and local hockey, you're in the game even when you're not in the game.

Goal review, now one team is up 3-0. This Canadian junior tournament has had some lopsided scores. Good grief they scored again, 4-0. Another game 'over' halfway thru.

edit - Goalie change, and they score again. OMG I can't even finish a sentence, 6-0. If this was a high school, they call the game when it's 10-0, that's at least merciful, this has been 5 goals in 3 minutes. Whoa.
