    The Magic Of Coffee

    Wow! Sounds like you're going all in! Yes, the good stuff is very expensive, and that's why you want to extract as much flavor - and the best quality of flavor - as possible from every ounce. That way you can minimize the ounces of coffee beans you use per cup. It does take a lot of practice...

    The Dessert Thread

    Tough crowd... Here's a cherry pie made from scratch by my daughter. Cherries picked fresh off the cherry tree at Larriland Farms and frozen for later use. Note the decorations in the middle. She is a pie baking expert.

    The BBQ Thread

    Did a double-smoked spiral-sliced ham on the drum a few days before Christmas. Homemade glaze. Just something to nibble on for a few days before the big man arrives.

    The Magic Of Coffee

    You mean that little kid I met in Seattle in Jan 2006? Haha. Yeah I have a good friend who doesn't drink coffee. I cannot imagine it. I started drinking it in boot camp. I never would have made it through service week without it.

    Finally! The Lunch Thread!

    I didn't even notice that! I just asked her and she said yeah, she wanted to give it a try. She says it was okay but she wouldn't do it again. BTW, all they offered was American. They used to offer Provolone too, but they put duct tape over it on the menu. I got mine with onions, tiger...

    "Plain & Simple - WE HATE DALLAS"

    "This sparks us. This lights it up again between us and Washington. We owe them big time now. Forget the 49ers. The rematch of this game is the one we're going to point to as the biggest in the rest of our regular season." - Nate Newton, Oct 1, 1995. The Cowboys (4-0) had been favored by 13...
