The Coffee House

hmmm. went to store. Got the last half gallon of almond milk, they were out of stock of bananas. No cream of corn left. ... Plenty of soda though go figure. Did get mangerine oranges though. .suppose that is something.

You mean Mandarin Oranges ... those giant tangerines?

yes. Mostly for one of my kids. I like the little tiny oranges clementines. Those are my thing.

It's raining here.

i am happy i went to the store. My wife always buy the cheap bread, or italian bread. i can't stand it . bought some of the twelve grain bread while i was there. I don't even know how she eats that white italian bread chit, or expects me too.

Well you know the old saying "If you want something done right, do your own damn shopping."

I pulled up the map of your area using WunderMap and overlaid the water temperature to the radar images of snow and rain precipitation. It becomes very obvious where the energy for the storm is coming from. The cyclonic rotation clear as well, so the current system has become a pretty classic Nor-easter. The cyclonic center seems to be approximately at the intersection of a line south of Maine and east of North Carolina. Well, let's home people are sensible and stay home or in a safe place until this system works itself out.

I have Mandarin in the back. I'm eating one now. The seedless are the best.

I personally don't like white bread (unless it's just baked) - too bland and very little texture. Fortunately, we have lots of local bakers (at least three in my neighbourhood, such as Products | Première Moisson, or Swiss Vienna Patisserie | Delicious Morsels For Every Taste., and my peference is for dark rye from Swiss Vienna, or sour-dough or "intergral" from Premiere Moisson. We also have a local portuguese-style baker where we get various pastries, etc. We like our food to be interesting.

yeah no kiddn..... she will buy italian bread and soda.... .tell me she didnt buy the good bread because it costs two dollar more. Like the two dollars difference matters.

really? Really? Put the damn soda back if you are so worried about it. Get the real bread. why on earth would you want to drink soda and eat italian bread anyway?

I've been weening myself off bread. Love that stuff, but what little I eat, I sorta bake in the BBQ.

Generally speaking, i have never grocery shopped except for the times we had separated. i Hate to shop, even for food. so i avoid it. Can't really cook much either. Around the time i see her drinking a soda (how do people drink that chit?? i can smoke cigarettes and cant get myself to drink soda) and me eating white bread is when i decide i need to make a trip to the store. i kinda wanted to go tonight anyway i was curious how empty the shelves were from storm shoppers. I have the same issue with icecream and reeses peanut butter cups. she will come home telling me she bought me cookies and cream ice cream and reeses peanut butter cups. I don't eat either.

All i eat for icecream, which isn't often, is chocolate or black raspberry and OCCASIONALLY i will have a piece of simple chocolate for candy. Not white chocolate though i cant eat that crap. I think she likes to mess with me. But then she brought home new england french vanilla coffee, which i sorta like. so i never can tell.

........ We don't just open another beer or pour another drink and keep going just because it's there.

We don't?!

A good proper loaf of crusty Euro bread is sheer heaven. The problem is that you just can't get it very easily on this side of the pond without making it yourself or living near Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. What passes for "Italian bread" here is just awful.

 

[mmaria]

Haven't forgotten it!! But sadly, I also haven't done it yet. I *promise* I will have it out to you within the next week, though!! Forgive me, I am a very old, slow Santa.

You're a good mother but bad bad Santa!

Hi Marija,
Wisdom tooth extraction isn't pretty, but for some it goes really easily and let's hope you're in that group. My youngest daughter (22) had all four extracted a few months ago, and she was bouncing around after the third day already. My 92-year old mother had one extracted recently as well, and she couldn't believe how easy it went. So. Not to worry.

oh... I worry....

As for your English, if you didn't make a point of noting that it's not your first language, I'd be hard pressed to know otherwise. Your command of the language is better than some people speaking English as their mother tongue.

Oh that's so not true! (but thanks anyway, it's nice to hear anything that seems like a compliment )

So, my first practicing material for the reading part of the test was titled "Dang beetle" WTH is dang beetle!!!???
See, I don't know English!!! ... and who decided that the text should be about the dang beetles!

Missing your photography. Or should I be looking for you on Flickr?

That's also nice of you to say.
You're nice Paul!

I miss photography. I haven't picked up the camera for quite some time...
I don't have the time needed! Not even for processing or going trough the photos on my computer and doing selection...
