The Coffee House

[smoke665]

@snowbear the temptation was to great there was a fire call less than a mile from the house on Saturday. I slipped away from the house without the guard knowing I had gone to it. I didn't get to do anything, but at least I got to stand by the pumper and BS. Fortunately the wind was blowing the smoke away, or I would have had to leave.

Well, the work Fire/EMS Department did it again . . . rescued a kitty from the basement of a burning building.

I thought they only did trees?


Good on 'em!

Tonite at a friend's house a Shanty Chois sang seafarer's songs. Superb!

I love the "live culture advent calendar"!

Hope everyone had a great Monday.


I’m making a “kitchen vegetable drawer” chicken soup tonight. I have some potatoes, some homemade chicken stock, some left over chicken, and some noodles to add.

Beautiful start, Jon - from this photo alone, you can take it anywhere and it's going to be delicious! Some crusty bread and red wine....YUM.

Gary has. Tri-Tip in the Sous Vide.

All of the world’s tri tip must be sent to CA. That cut is just not available here, haha.

I’m roasting another batch of the Polar Expresso blend tonight. Gotta get this one darker.

Portland, ME is a very dog-friendly city.

Planet Dog in Portland, ME is a great place to stop for new toys or treats.

A nice afternoon in the patio with friends.

Out of the bag into the frying pan.

The recipe called for 16 hours of cooking. Gary cooked for only four hours. It was still tender, flavorful and delish. Soon Gary will cook something for the full and recommended time.

Soon Dave will go and beat his head against the wall trying to mop the whole store.

The coffee is much better after an additional 3 minutes in the roaster compared to last time.

It’s Tuesday, and I’m taking 40 7th graders to the theater this morning to see A Christmas Carol. Should be a good trip.
