The Coffee House

[davidharmier60]

Dave has never been much of a drinker.
Margarita in a salted glass, rum and coke are about the only alcoholic things he drinks. That is a darling baby! In a couple of years look out! Dave ran the floor machine and that thing needs something.
Maybe a new squeegee on the back.
It leaves at least a third of what it puts out behind. Then the buffer has trouble with all the moisture. And then it ran out of propane. Used a mop to spread the puddles so they would evaporate.
Went and got propane. Ended up with 3 minutes under 5.25 hours. Told Trish I'll buff the stuff I missed. And maybe spot mop here and there. And of course the Marquee tomorrow.

The past few weeks Mary Lou has been making persimmon cake every few days. Gary is getting a bit tired of the stuff ... it has been a bountiful year for the persimmon tree.

Hey hosers.

Congrats, Wade!! She's a cute little peanut

I enjoyed skiing the few times I've gone, but it's always been too expensive for me to be able to go frequently enough to get any good at it. It's a lot of fuss. I'd much rather go ice skating. I grew up ice skating on the pond in the woods behind my house. Also on the nearby lake. That is a lake that used to freeze so solidly that people would drive cars out onto it. Yes, there are a few of those cars that now live on the bottom of the lake, but just a few. And it was only once that I held onto the tailgate of a truck going past. It wasn't very fast, but it was fun. Going back wasn't, though.

@SquarePeg You have reminded me that I should make cookies. I have a recipe for super easy peanut butter cookies that are amazing. I just have to find the recipe, which is silly because it's two ingredients: peanut butter and sugar. I just have to make sure of the proportion of peanut butter to sugar. I'm positive that it's one 16-oz jar of peanut butter (get the kind with no sugar added, but not freshly ground - texture doesn't work well in this recipe. You need a smoother butter.) but can't remember how much sugar. I've also done a chocolate variation - just add cocoa powder. They are SO good!

JC likes peanut butter cookies.

price of high quality persimmons in Germany dropped to 29 Eurocent!

What a cutie-pie. Good looking baby! And her name is ....


(Who's the father? )

Everyone says she looks like me. I disagree, because she’s cute like her mother.

The name is Luna.

Congrats Wade! I knew it should have happened but didn't want to pry, haha!

Enjoy!

Thank you! You wouldn’t have been prying! Message or @ me anytime!

She's gorgeous Wade! Sweet photo. Looking forward to seeing more shots of her!

Thank you! She’s already had so many pictures taken of her, haha.

You're going to have fun in a few years.

Congrat's.

Thank you! She’s been trouble already

Thank you! She’s definitely cute, and a little peanut. When she’s angry, she’s a cute little siren.

Oooh, I found it!

And apparently, I lied. I forgot about the eggs. Anyway, here's the recipe and it's just divine!

@waday Love the name!

Countertop convection oven recommendations?

Whatever Costco has on the shelf.

Whatever Frank's got going there sounds pretty darn good.

Not sure of Frank's recipe, but the one I used turned out pretty good! It is one of those, "sneak up on you concoctions" that is easy to consume to much.

Yay! Something to do one night.

I've never been skiing, never wanted to go skiing, and have no intention of doing same.
I used to ice skate when younger, though I was never good at it - could only travel forward and counter-clockwise. Maybe I'll go again once all the med crap is over with, though MLW won't go.

The name is Luna.

I love it!!! She is beautiful - congrats to you and Mom!

Ditto - and I grew up in ice and snow! A little bit of ice skating, but was never much for winter sports. Sledding was fun and required nothing beyond a cheap sled. I had a horse back then, and nothing beat riding my beautiful warm four-legged friend on a snowy trail - except maybe bareback in the summer.

I learned to skate (meaning stand up and move without ending up on my butt) after a few hours on a frozen saltwater cove. I got a cheap pair of figure skates but kept tripping on the lower prongs, so I filed them off and it went much smoother. After I decided I was going to continue, I bought a pair of hockey skates for slightly more money.

I did get to the point where I could go forward, pick up some speed, and spin around 180 degrees, but I couldn't keep up the momentum . . ."There he goes, he's moving fast, he spins and is going backward . . .ah, he's slowing down."
