The Coffee House

I had a sports banquet to go to with Princess tonight. Instead of the usual pizza or gross fried appetizer buffet, was pleasantly surprised by Chinese food that was very good.

One of the other mwacs put together a slide show of photos we had both taken at the games. It was cute with fun music to go along with it.

Our crowdfunding campaign has had a great start. Through just over 24 hours, we are 75% funded (or about $9k so far), and we are the top trending campaign in CT right now, as well as the top trending brewery in the country. So this is a good morning, haha.

Well yet another day of rain here, think it is in for the weekend too.

Happy Friday, hosers !

My niece is in for a weekend visit. We've had some rain but it's moving out. Chilly but sunny this weekend. We'll have fun!

It rained hard a couple times last night.
The last tarp I put up seems to have stopped the leak into my room and the utility hallway was dry this morning.
It is a sorry looking grey day here.
I'm over in Cold Springs for propane.
5 hours is assured. Maybe more depending upon what she says when I get back.

Fujidave it's rainy here too but the freezing kind. It wasn't supposed to get this far south... but I heard it hitting last night and looked at the radar and yes, it was blue instead of green. More of the same tonight, so there goes going to a hockey game. It might not do much but I'm not going to risk a fall stepping on a patch of that clear ice from freezing rain that you can't see.

At least there's a double header of curling on TV tonight, I'll take what I can get.

Thanks Dean and Smoke! My limit is two pots and/or pans for any given meal so a one pot wonder sounds excellent!!

That doesn't sound like porridge Smoke, I like grits. Porridge is like something out of the Dickens era that they made out of I don't know what. Kind of like gruel. I should learn how to make grits (don't see them this far north but I've had them going to the Smokies etc.). Especially if you can make them taste like apple pie!

We have all the rain and high winds at the moment, but it is very mild though.

People often say that we don't have seasons here is Southern California but it's not true. We do have 4 distinct seasons: the Summer season, the Wildfire season, the Mudslide season and the Awards season.

This the place we get our from Cereals, Seeds, & Grains the shipping is a factor on a small order. The porridge is also sold by https://gotmountainlife.com/product/nora-mills-granarys-pioneers-porridge-2lb-bag/ the porridge is the same but the shipping is less. I told you wrong on the porridge, DW mixes Brown Sugar and Butter in, so good. Had some this morning.

It looks like you made it. I kicked in a little, anyway.
