Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe Lounge (4.00 / 4)

I awoke this morning to find I had quite stupidly forgotten to replace the coffee pot in the brewer last night when I set the thing to go off with the timer. Oy, what a horrible mess! Hope everyone else's day began much better than that.

Oy (4.00 / 4)

I guess I'm lucky that my geezer trick is to forget the coffee.

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe Lounge (4.00 / 5)

I've done that too, as well as forget to add the coffee, so I get up to a nice hot pot of...hot water. Lately I've changed to cold brew coffee and boy is it good.

What is cold brew coffee?

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe Lounge (4.00 / 5)

In a nutshell, you mix a pound of coffee and nine cups of cold water and let it brew on your counter top for 12 to 24 hours. It produces a coffee concentrate that you then reconstitute by adding either hot water, or like I do in the summer, cold milk. You get a really rich coffee taste without the acidity, and the concentrate keeps in the fridge for 3 weeks, though we tend to use it within one just because we have so many coffee/iced coffee/iced mocha drinkers around here.

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe Lounge (4.00 / 5)

Sounds like it's worth a try. How did you ever come across that?

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe Lounge (4.00 / 5)

They serve cold-brew at Borders and it's fantastic. But I remembered reading about it a couple of years ago and thought about trying it but it seemed too weird.

Good morning!
Hope you get many great hikes.
A blast of 'fall' back east - only 60 this morning - forecast high only 76. In other words, a superb day emerging outside (still dark).

Re: Hi CG (4.00 / 3)

We've been having very nice weather here -- not too hot. But it's been really dry (no rain for 3 weeks) and I'm really ready for some wet.

Speaking of walking ... time to go.

See ya.

Re: YAHD (4.00 / 4)

Good morning all! My co-worker finally had her cancer surgery yesterday and all went well. She was pretty sore last night after waking up, but glad to have it over after months of waiting.

Re: YAHD (4.00 / 2)

She called the office twice today, just to chat. She'll still have some radiation to go through and a new chemo pill of some sort that's not nearly as sickening as the stuff they were giving her before. Thanks for the good wishes - I'll pass them on.

Hi ID

I'm so happy to hear that for your co-worker. Although I don't know her, my thoughts go to her and I'm overjoyed it's over.

BTW my computer is fixed and I'll be around more.

Hope everyone is doing fine.

Hiya CG.

I'm miss you too. Although with the old computer I could read some stuff before it froze up, I saw the the kids are starting back to school.

School is in here (high school and college). The damned traffic jams are the pitts. I actually had to wait one whole red traffic light until I could get through. I sometimes wonder if people suffer the grid lock we do here?

Thanks Family Man. She was a central committee chairperson in a fairly large county back in the 70's so you can imagine how feisty this lady can be. I'm glad to hear your hardware is perkier too;-)

I really like old vehicles as subjects, especially when there's stuff growing up through them. There are a couple of artists here who have done some nice renderings of scenes like that.

The paintings on his site titled "The Woodman's House", "The Joy Farm" and "Autumn Rendevous" all use my brother's farmhouse as the model.
