I want coffee really badly, but won't eat the donut, because I'm counting Weight Watchers points. So he's getting a free donut. Nothing pleases a teenager more!

Free Donut Day
A coffee pot. No more instant coffee!!! :-) nm

no holes donuts (donut holes ha!ha!)
navel orange
no bake cookies
Sorry, that is about all I can come up with.
Coffee??
My hubby and I love McDonalds coffee. I am currently using Folgers, but it actually tastes bitter. Any smooth coffees out there that might be your favorite or something close to McDonalds? Thanks.
Coffee, coffee and more coffee.

Why does she see have a cup of coffee with her
hubby each morning you ask? BECAUSE THAT IS THE KEY TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE! Always have a cup of coffee with your husband before he leaves for work because you can always go back to bed! This was told to me by a woman I worked with that was passed down from her mother. Staying in bed back in those days (before women worked outside of the home) was considered lazy. I always get up and have a cup of coffee with my husband, and I see the kids off to school. I can always go back to bed, but I don't. I just start typing, which usually leads to laundry, more typing, straightening up the house, more typing, trolling this board, more typing, petting the cat, more typing, and then more COFFEE!!!!! lol Have fun! 
oh but I think we DO get together for coffee...s/m
virtually/cyberly speaking, that is *grin*
Coffee for four?
 Mission accomplished everyone! Got an email from my mutual friend on this board and I have replied. It is nice when you finally know a first name. I will admit I can talk you under the table about my love for dogs. At first it seemed impossible to know each one of the breeds by name when I would watch the American Kennel Club Dog Show and Westminster, but now with 167 breeds in AKC I am right up with them. However, that will quickly go to 169 when they welcome two new breeds into the club, which I think is to be very soon. When I went to a show in April they introduced the new hound, the Plott. It is really beautiful.
Thanks for your nice comments!
don't be shy, just tell him so over a cup of coffee that you asked him out for.

Anyone grind their own coffee???
I would love to get the good coffee taste such as Dunkin Donuts and have thought about getting some to grind. Has anyone done this and if so how is it as compared to what you get in the stores? Thanks.
Got my new coffee maker from
coffeeandkitchen.com. They have several models but think I read above someone who had thermal and I went that route. My hubby thinking he was getting the best if he paid a lot more for it, got a coffee pot, Cuisinart, that I detest!! As soon as you make the coffee and pour, lukewarm. Yucko....I am now wanting to get coffee grinder. Might go back to that site and check those out.
I'm 50 and coffee was my eye opener. Don't
know what happened, but it doesn't work for me anymore. I sleep anywhere from 6 to 8 hours and that doesn't help. Can't seem to concentrate on work either. LOL - Yikes, I"m a mess
RE: Need a new coffee maker
Capresso brand, either at Linens and Things, Bed, Bath and Beyond. Purchased mine at Neiman Marcus $160....absolutely worth every cented drop! It's a thermal carafe type so you never have burnt coffee taste. Always keeps coffee perfect temp, first cup to the last.
PS. RE: Need a new coffee maker
For the ultimate coffee experience = Capresso coffee maker brewing freshly ground Pete's Coffee (Kenya blend)! Mm mm mm mm mm:)
This morning before my first cup of coffee
"the cat threw up in the kitchen" right behind my chair! I guess sleeping in on a Saturday doesn't pay off. The cat ate too fast. I guess she was famished. Well it could be worse right?
Coffee cups. nm

champagne. Tea or coffee?

Update on coffee.
I used the tablespoon method from the poster below and then measured into my cup measurer. It was almost 1/2 cup of coffee grounds. The coffee tasted just a wee bit better, but still not good enough.
I was thinking about buying some already measured coffee to see if that makes a difference, but ya can't just buy one (to test), so I think I'll play around with the measuring a little more.
I'm also going to break open the 100% Columbian coffee hubby bought and see if that makes a difference.
I had noticed that over the last few months, whenever I opened a new can of coffee, that "whoosh" never happened like it used to, so I'm thinking these stores/manufacturers are just keeping the coffee in storage too long....probably because of the high prices, people aren't buying as much. LOL
Coffee cake
Has anyone here ever made homemade coffee cake? Would you mind sharing the recipe?
COFFEE update.
Finally, after 2 months(?), we have found our coffee. There are 2 brands we found: Chock Full O' Nuts 100% Columbian and Dunkin' Donuts 100% Arabica beans.
We also changed our creamer from the store brand back to Coffee Mate. YUM! It's a pleasure to drink coffee again.
I just spit my coffee out...how much
can you get for trailers these days? Honey, grow a thick skin and quit trying to prove you're something you're not! How about a sense of humor.....I always find those that have to boast about what they have actually have the least.
Awaiting your snappy, defensive comeback...
Do you like Starbuck's Coffee
Who does not like Starbucks Coffee? I don't care for it at all. It tastes to rancid to me. I'd much prefer, McDonald's then Dunkin Donuts.
I may be becoming a coffee snob
Yo, COFFEE LOVER sm
I, too, crave coffee that tastes like it smells. My son was a Starbucks manager and I know a lot about coffee as a result.
Growing regions:
African coffees are more acidic.
Colombian and South American coffees, whether robusta or arabica beans, will be earthy, muddy tasting.
Asian coffees are cleaner tasting, though can be very rich.
Kona and Jamaican coffees are often lower in caffeine and smoother, less acidic.
Roasting:
The darker the roast, the deeper the flavor. Dark roasts are said to have a bit less caffeine. Light roasts will be more acidic.
Ultimate rich cup:
Starbucks Gold Coast. It is Asian and dark roast. Not overly heavy, not muddy, not very acidic.
Sumatra. This is Asian, tends to be muddy in texture, but rich in taste. Usually dark roasted. If made in a French press, it will leave fur on your tongue!
Another good choice:
Verona. A blend of different growing regions. Dark roast. Hint of Italian espresso flavor.
Ways to make it:
I am a purist to the end. Must have freshly ground beans, I do at home. Must have filtered water.
French press:
Makes a chewable cup at times. It is espresso in texture, rich and heavy, oily in the cup. Have to have a rough grind, not a fine grind. You can't make Folger's this way.
Percolator:
Coming back as a popular way to make coffee. An antique or vintage one is better than the new ones. Has the advantage of sterilizing the water and the beans. Stronger than a drip maker, not as strong as a French press.
Drip coffeemaker:
Why? Do you want your coffee to taste like paper? Permanent gold filter is best. Tends to make the weakest coffee of the three processes I mention here.
While I like Bux coffee...there are some awfully good store brands of whole beans that are quite good.
I'll plug a local coffee brand too.
AmericanCowboyCoffee.com It is 100% pure Kona and at about $22 a lb, it is CHEAP for pure Kona. It is packaged in the oldest, continuously incorporated town in Wyoming, a place called Hartville. The store is literally right down the street from me. This is my special, after dinner, later evening, lazy Sunday morning in bed with the paper coffee.
thanks for letting me vent this!
Thank you very much for posting that.
I felt like I was making fun of obese people in having the opinion that obesity is a choice. But, I still stand behind the fact that it certainly is a CHOICE, and until one who is obese owns up to their lifestyle habits and stop blaming others, they will never lose that weight, but simply live each day thinking they have an "excuse".
This could be me posting...
I go through the same thing every year. In fact, when I first got married I had no idea what these baskets were. I had not even heard of them. I was using one that has a plastic insert liner for my sponges by my sink when MIL got a little offended and told me how expensive they are.
I have only been married six years, so far only six baskets, that I keep in the cupboard above my fridge. Don't know what I will do when I run out room up there. I don't mind the baskets, I just don't know what to do with them. About the only time I use them is when I have company for dinner and I use them for the rolls.
Thank you for posting this!
I checked out the website - www.steppables.com. We have a stone path down a slope in our back yard and I want to plant fragrant ground cover in the spaces between the stones. That is a great site!
Thanks for posting this....
I was not aware of this case. It is good to get the information out there. I pray for her safe return.
Oh wow...thanks for posting that...
we have a 10-week-old boxer and have been picking up toys here and there for him...thanks for letting me know what NOT to get...that is scary...poor thing!!
Thanks to all of you for posting
I really appreciate it!
Could someone help with posting a pic, please
Every time I have tried to do this by clicking on 'Click here to Upload Image!', a javascript error occurs, with javascript:void(0); in the bar at the bottom of my screen.
I thought I had uploaded a pic with no problems here before, but cannot seem to do it today. I finally was able to get my son to take a couple of pictures of my recliner with footpedal setup and was all geared up to post them 
TIA for any advice/assistance!
Thank you for posting...
I haven't seen the previous discussion about IQ, but I can understand the sentiment in your post. I also think that others' expectations of "the smart one" can weigh heavily on you. I still feel guilty for not being as "successful" as other people expected me to be at this point in my life. At times I think everyday life would have been a little happier if I had been a little more average or if I had realized that the only person I have to make happy right now is myself :)
Thank you for posting...sm
I looked at the link, and it made me all teary eyed. Those poor dogs have been through so much too. I have read about some of those pits that were rehabilitated, and honestly the way they have managed to still love after what they have gone through is just amazing. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for posting this!! - nm

You might try posting
On the main board about this. If find that I get more help about equipment and IT issues over there.
I would say find a used computer store. Some times they only charge $50 an hour to look at it for you and if they can fix it in that hour there are no additional charges. I would definitely work on it before it goes out completely on you.
Thanks for posting this......... sm
This shows what happens when people care about other people. What started out as something to help herself over the holiday became a wonderful outpouring of love and friendship.
thanks for posting
I can't believe I thought I was the only one who went through this. I actually feel better now.
Seems like the lesson to learn from all of this is that women need to learn to be kinder to one another, we can cause each other a lot of pain by using children against each other.
I'm only posting this
so that you know that your notion of the uncircumcised penis as "gross" is so juvenile & ethnocentric that it doesn't even warrant an answer.
Remind yourself never to go to Europe.
This is a different than what you were posting
You asked people to divulge 8 things about themselves other people would not want to know about. I read it and thought if you don't want to know about it why are you asking.
This post is inquiring about the frequency people have with their "encounters". I would imagine wanting to know if there is "normalcy", which I have wondered too whether or not I need to be taking something to increase my libido or is it normal that other people have sex less frequently than I do.
Maybe your post below should have been 8 things about me that would surprise you or something like that, and just keep out the really gross things (eating habits). The having "delicious" sex part didn't offend me but the other items you listed made me a little queezy, but people generally get turned off by unpleasant things about other people.
In looking at your posting I see where you said
you asked about fish oil and then when someone said not FDA approved, you did not give? To me if you do not overdo it, what in the world could be the matter with fish oil? As a mother, do you have to ask each and every little thing you might possibly give your child. What about an aspirin, Tylenol, the same? I think common sense might play into some of this. If I had read fish oil was good for depression, I would never have to ask anyone for a second opinion, be it a physician or my next door neighbor.
Thanks so much for posting ...
I am such a sap it brought a tear to my eye.
I like Dunkin' Donuts coffee......
speaking of coffee -- beans that is,
does anyone dip their c. beans in baking chocolate for snacks? I heard you can do this, but wondered if they are real hard, too strong or just plain tasty this way???
I grind coffee, it's the freshest/best...
I need a new coffee maker, any suggestions?
?
OMG - COFFEE SPEW post - thanks for that!!!
   
LOL! I almost spit out my coffee. You have such a way with words.
Too funny :)
I almost always have a cup of coffee right before starting work!
Sometimes I even have another one mid-shift for a pick up!
I fall out of bed, grab some coffee and
head to my office in my PJs at 6 a.m. On my break, I change into sweats or street clothes, depending on whether or not I have to leave the house.
Question for coffee drinkers...sm
i know this might sound wierd, but I see all those yummy drinks advertised for Starbucks and I want to try one... my problem is that I don't like the strong coffee taste or smell. The really strong taste will trigger a migraine (as does dark chocolate). My question is...are any of those drinks lightly flavored enough that it disguises the coffee taste? Like in a latte or in a mochasomethingorother ?I drink the intant cappuccino drinks that you buy in powdered form at the store, but those do not taste anything like real cappuccino.
Thanks in advance from the coffee virgin
nice strong cup of coffee
works for me every morning
Coffee - laptop or desk top?
