I have both of my mother's white enamel drip coffee pots.  I really should make the filters and use them.


A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

Merlot.  gives me a little heartburn while port/sherry does not. Will probably finish the bottle and say Nevermore.

*walks off.. with tail between the legs*

Well, my coffee tastes very nice. Really, it does.

Two pods, pinch of salt inbetween them, prae-warmth cup..

Pan with milk (full fat) on stove, whisk (like a mødder føpper) and I only use the cream on top of it. Two teaspoons of cane sugar in.. and ja, some sort of bisquit along with it.

You're invited to give it a try. (no money back guaranteed though)

OK, hand whisked milk, and that pinch of salt will make a massive difference.

Who knows, summer is long, I may get my arse on the train to your coffee.  :thumbup:

I'm the oldfashioned hand dripping type.  After the first senseo experiences I decided never to go for that. But, I have to say some shops do now sell pads that make a good brew. It has improved, over the years.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

^ You're welcome here, Hykey, for sure.. but, my bad/my bad, last sentence there was meant in general.. in reply to the senseo-coffee-skeptics above. Let's say, semi funny.

Meeting up with folks one knows a little via a forum can be cool, I reckon. Seeing PPK do so.. ja, great. Folks on the Dutch forum (I've been posting on a tadski previous couple of months) do it quite often. City trips for an afternoon/half a day, going out to have dinner in a restaurant (with p/m 20 persons/ :o ) and e.g. going camping with an even bigger group.

Um, to be honest, makes me wonder how high functioning I really am at times though. I'm afraid I'm less of a social person to do such a thing.

Seems 'unfair' you should travel all the way here.. for a cup of coffee.. but really, if you like, we could meet up halfway in, let's say, Utrecht and have a cup of coffee and do something else together there. This, not to hit on you, Hykey, just to have a bit of fun.. I know my way around there pretty well and.. ja, it's a nice city to visit.

I say yes to it.. and reply yay or ghey in the open here or via PM.

Utrecht would be lovely.

I've been that functional the past few years that I have not been in Utrecht for about 10 years, and, it is my favourite bigger city. I used to go there a few times every year, before I got into a hermit stage.

That place must have changed a bit, in all that time. Googling for Wristers, I see that that that bookshop is gone.

A Calzone from Mario, sometimes I just crave for that. 

Sure hope that is still there.

I'm going to get myself a day without kids for this Lutra.  :plus:

Wrote you a PM.. (saying I'm okay with it)..

Um, drinking a glass of orange juice. Tadski too sour for my liking, though.

It's morning, so my usual cup of white chai

Tea. Seems like it's the same in Latin.
