The Coffee House

Was supposed to start raining about midnight. It either didn't or the Tarp I put up Tuesday helped. I figure it's the Former.
Weather guessers blew it.

Morning all, well the rain has cleared from yesterday and last night but is forecast to come back later on. Hope to hear some news on when my laptop might arrive in the UK as found out it is coming from China.

Got my HP on Monday. Going through the arderous task of transferring everything over. Did a little editing last night in LR. Man what a difference in speed.

4 hours and a roughly half. 22.48 for the week so far. PO and then the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home to find out about the Avenger.

Our Kickstarter launched today.

Tox Brewing Company

My friend Dayne spent countless hours on the video. It was all shot with cell phones, except for the obvious drone footage which was done with a DJI Mavic Air. We'll be using the money to outfit/furnish the tap room, hopefully.

Great video showing how you guys are doing

Once mine does arrive, all I will be doing is getting my bookmarks back.

The car is registered y'all. New plates and we get a year! This is a GOOD thing!
Finishing up comics online and then more penny stuff to do.

Good luck with the brewery Jon!

Every time the leaves rustle I jump up - waiting for the brown truck. Unfortunately just supplies more than fun stuff, but it's giving me some exercise. Or as my dad calls it, calisthenics. That's what he calls the therapy room at the rehab place, but I don't think anyone's exactly doing jumping jacks in there!

Good luck @JonA_CT with the venture. Hope it makes you guys a bundle. Nicely done video. Enough humor to keep you watching.

@smoke665 Are you and your wife still fans of the Instant Pot? We still love ours and use it regularly. I like it because we always have leftovers for me to take to work, lol. Have you tried cakes made in them? The texture is like an English pudding, according to the Olde Lady. Who knew steam would bake a cake? I am the baker of our house and just made a pumpkin chocolate chip breakfast cake. Last week was an incredible chocolate bundt. You have to buy a half ( 6 cup ) bundt pan and use the trivet to keep the pan up off the water. Amazon sells the bundt pan for something like 12 bucks + shipping. We have decided our IP is a staple just like a microwave or toaster in our kitchen!

Yup, DW uses it everyday, for everything from breakfast to dinner, to desserts. We are hooked on a 10 grain oatmeal and a porridge mix that we get from a place in GA, the Instant Pot works great for those. She's made cheese cakes, cakes, and cobblers. Ours is not the biggest one, which works well for just the two of us. Our oldest son and daughter in law have six children ranging in age from 2 to 17. She had the big one and just bought two more of the large ones, to keep up with feeding the herd. LOL

Porridge?!? You can keep that Smoke, I'm going to Dean's house for some of that bundt cake. (If we all show up looking pitiful you'll make us a cake, right Dean? lol)

What is this instant pot you speak of? I'd get one if it made things instantly all on its own.

It's the newest kitchen gadget to really catch on. Basically, it is just a fancy pressure cooker, lol, but websites have sprung up that give you some really great recipes and tips. There are several brands on the market and " Instant Pot " is a brand. For most of the recipes, it's a one-pot, easy way to make homemade, superfast food.

Electric Pressure Cooker, Smart Cooker, Multi Cooker, 饮尚宝电压力锅 DW just fixes for the two of us, but a 2# roast, potatoes,and carrots, takes about 45 mins. Because it cooks with steam and pressure food remains moist. Also it's kind of a one pot meal deal. Using trivets, racks, etc. you can fix more then one thing at a time in it.

Also, the porridge is a mixture of white grits, yellow grits, cracked wheat, & whole rice, we like ours with just butter on it, but you can add white & brown sugar, honey, raisins, nuts, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, sliced bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg, apple pie spice, & fresh cream if you want a little change. Good stuff on a cold morning.

Edit: we also do a hot cereal from the same place - 10 Grain is a mixture of cracked wheat, barley, stone ground white and yellow grits, millet, rolled oats, rye, triticale, brown rice, soy grits & whole flax seeds. Add a little fruit or sugar, its really good.

The last of the Beef Tips and Rice for dinner. And an RC Cola Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla float for dessert.
