Now digesting: Leftover Moo Shi Pork with hoisin sauce and "pancakes." Nothing fancy added. Just leftovers.

I once made some *very* good cold brew using coffee from Cafe Britt in Costa Rica (cafebritt.com). It looks like they've got some kind of sale going on right now. I don't know if it's in your price range, but it's worth at least a look.

@leejackson I do not, I drink cold brew coffee so I have a Ninja cold brew machine. 🥺 I really want to try groundsandhoundscoffee.com/ though. I'm just waiting for my birthday to come so I don't have to buy it on my own dime. 😂

@Brisse

Fresh Roasted Coffee also has ground coffee and beans, so it might be worth checking out even if you don't have a Keurig machine.

@Captain_Blood_86

I tip my hat to you, good Captain. This sounds like an excellent choice!

@leejackson second espresso of the morning. Jim's organic Guatemalan, grind #9 on my baratza grinder, 14.8g into my DeLonghi portafilter, ~30g brewed.

@Brisse

Do you have a Keurig machine? If so, there's a place online that has some really good dark roasts that are priced the same (I think) as their medium roasts. It's called Fresh Roasted Coffee (freshroastedcoffee.com).

@Sunshine1970

Sorry about the decaf, Sir Humphrey. I respect your choice of Dark Roast, of course. My wife prefers a Medium Roast. Personally, I like a Light Roast - lots of complexity to the cup, and more caffeine than Dark or Medium Roast.

Ah, I wish I could - they're Flexon frames, but they've been through the wringer one too many times. I've faceplanted *hard* while wearing them twice - one time sent me to the emergency room and shattered one of the lenses. No, they're twisted beyond repair and constantly in need of adjustment now. I've got to have new frames, but the place I'm going to (that takes our insurance) doesn't sell Flexon frames, Sigh.

@leejackson If you have old frames you already like, you can take them with you and have them put your new lenses in the old frames. :)

Morning, Coso! 👓

For the first time in many years, I'm going to get new glasses today. Having an eye exam first - will probably wind up needing trifocals, if what my old eye doctor said is true. After that, I get to go through the sheer and utter joy (note the sarcasm) of shopping for new frames with my wife. I need something lightweight and flexible, but she's as close to a miser as you can get without being one. Wish I could get Flexon again, but can't.

@Irishroze @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine

Good morning to both of you!

(rides off, leaving nothing but a silver bullet)

Strip it down to its bare roots, CoSo. What basic coffee do you prefer?

Now drinking Fresh Roasted Coffee brand's Brazilian light roast K-Cup coffee, in a very large mug. Three packets of Equal, lots and lots of real heavy cream, and a Lactaid tablet to make sure I can tolerate it.

Hey, it's a holiday. I can splurge.

@MrsSpear This year is horrible so far. The celebrities are dropping like flies!
