Worst fears confirmed..

[Brooklands]

In fact in my pre-drip coffee years - I wasn't above boiling a pot of water and tossing the coffee grouns right in there. That's called Cowboy Coffee!

That's better than the old spoonful of instant coffee and then step into a hot shower...

But regardless what you guys say, I find redemption in the fact neither my son or I like doing the dishes, so that despite having a full set of dishes and proper eating utensils – we use paper plates & plastic sporks for everything.

Amateur. Yesterday I ate yogurt for breakfast with a tiny little salad fork, spread butter on toast with a spoon that was too big to fit in the yogurt tin, and finished off the orange juice from the carton. Got coffee at work cause it's free and....I don't have to clean a coffee cup! Don't know why I have a salad fork...I don't like salads. Skipped brekkers today.

On the other paw, all of my drinking glasses are pint glasses-bought 'em by the dozen. I always have a clean one of those!

there's nothing ... NOTHING ... better than using a large serving spoon to spread ~anything~ on toast or bread. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

washing dishes? pfffft... just lick it clean before you stick it back in the drawer /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

yup on the cups... i got me some 1 pint plastic tumblers... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

just the other day, I used a set of MGB wheel bearings still in the box to hold the top down on my "Cup-o-noodles"... I think I have a picture of it somewhere around here...

Tinster - you forgot to add salt to your coffee!

If you are single the the best is a a dog, will clean your plates for you, picks up any food you drop, eliminates the left overs so you do not have to store them. Gives you some one to take for rides in your LBC and most importantly.... Chicks dig dogs..... Go short haired dog, less need to vacumm the carpet.

MY personal favorite is Boston Terriers,,,, loves to sleep in, snores and passes bad gas like a buddy would, will watch football all day as he scratched himself.

I use an unused Midget bearing as a paperweight at work. I have a second one if you need a spare for the kitchen, but only if you go get proper, glass pint glasses, and at least one heavy glass "fighting mug" with an obscure logo painted on it.

you obviously ain't never been around a Marine that brews coffee...

People love it when I brew the coffee at the office. Of course, they don't get the first cup out of the pot before the batch is finished brewing either... it's mah go juice! The other weaklings usually wait till the batch is done brewing and the strength has evenly distributed. The stuff I usually get comes out like motor oil /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Just finished me first cuppa the same stuff... about to go in there and pour the "weak" one to nurse while I catch up on the rest of the forum. I s'pose we all take it unadulterated, too. Takes more effort than it's worth to mess about with spoons an' suchlike.

Tony!

You forget I live on a tiny island in the middle
of the Atlantic ocean completely surrounded by
sapphire blue SALT water. We are smaller than that
northeast state Rhode Island!!

Our mountain grown coffee beans are naturally caressed
by the salt mist during their growing period. Perhaps
that is why our coffee is judged some of the world's
finest and drunk every morning in the Vatican.

I'm sipping on the first cup out the dripster right now.

The Aroma is enough to make me want a second cup
immediately. A bag of my personal favorite expresso
grind is on an airplane to the States as I write this.
I hope Homeland Security does not snitch it!

regards,

To me!! Why, thank you!!

Around our house, Jerri is the coffee lover - she really likes Jamacian Blue Mountain.
