I hate Starbucks coffee… it is strong and bitter. I find Dunkin whole bean coffee that I grind myself is milder and palatable. I can control how strong to make it. I grind 1 tablespoon of whole beans per 11 oz mug. 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and a small amount of half and half make it perfect. I...

@Innesfan congrats well deserved win!

@emeraldking That crab looks like something from outer space.

Here’s a pic and video of my new occupants of my 29 gallon tank. (pardon appearance of back wall… way overdue for cleaning). The family owned fish store where I acquired these have a huge selection of healthy looking fish and often are very decently sized as you can see in the video below.

I followed the recipe pretty closely but didn't have beer as I gave up alcohol 15 years ago. Instead of beer, I added more beef stock. I also left out the sugar. I added a few dashes of Tabasco sauce as I felt it needed a bit more kick. It tastes great. I'll have it for dinner again...

As promised, I’m cooking up some chili. Browning up diced onion, ground beef, diced jalapeno pepper, with chili powder. Drained fat and then added the rest of the ingredients per recipe. Now I’m simmering the chili for one hour to reduce it to proper consistency. The hard part is salivating...

Well I made a pot of coffee using the GE metal percolator above. It only took about 3 minutes to make the coffee. Taste is a bit strong but tastes ok. That coffeemaker hasn't been used in 52 years. My mother used to use it daily back in the early 1970s.

Yes she did, and I was glowing too—when we made love on my waterbed.

I dated a mermaid once and she had very long fins.

I also have a circa 1970 electric percolator. I will dust it off and try a cup of coffee from it.

@jaylach Yes I still have the top cover. All needed parts are there. @gimme30 While we’re on the subject of phones, I owned a cellphone in the late 1980s. It weighed about 4 lbs and had a corded receiver. It cost about 50 cents a minute to make a call. I still have the phone after all these...

The storms from the west are heading to my area in the northeast. We will get close to 2 inches of rain and moderate wind gusts of close to 40 mph on sunday into monday eve.
