    Dinner 2020

    Everything looks great but that crispy brown potato skin is calling me. Nice plate
  2. I know the feeling. Went into a grocery store this week for the first time since this pandemic. Really didn’t want to buy Liquor I have enough for a few life times. But I really wanted some produce and walked away with a bit of frozen vegetables and some apples Not big on frozen vegetables except corn, black-eyed peas and some greens but will make it work
  3. Check you local pool supply store. The liquid chlorine is almost 2x the strength of household bleach. You can dilute accordingly. I imagine powdered chlorine can be dissolved into a liquid but unsure of the concentration
  4. Maybe there was something behind the lack of appetite. Recent diagnosis of right side kidney stone 2 days ago. #2 and it’s kicking my butt Recently I made a good glass of water, lots of them and ate an apple. It was a really good apple
  5. Eating so little while home. Just not hungry. Walking a lot, good for sanity, and losing weight by the day. Maybe not the thing to do during a pandemic.
  6. yes it does. With green I like to make Tostones
  7. Thank you. Fabulous
  8. It’s the one I use

    Dinner 2020

    Had friends over the other night. Made fish cakes from steelhead and barramundi portions along with roasted vegetables and salad
  11. @rotuts would never eat that rice. Yuck
  12. yeah I’ve used instant rice but then you have to get the fine coffee covered rice powder out of the grinder. A good hard blow with an air compressor does a decent job
  13. Me, never. Keep all my coffee equipment clean except the grinder doesn’t get a complete cleaning after each use but all old coffee is brushed away daily. Periodically I take that monster Mazzer Mini of mine outside and use an air compressor to blow out as much coffee as possible and brush between the “teeth” of the grinding plate and wash the hopper with soap and water
  14. Bubbles could be coming from it’s reaction to biological enzymes from a biofilm
  15. No question, if your grind is too fine the sludge factor goes up. I’m okay with some sludge, my wife hates it. So no French press for her. When she’s away I often brew with a French press or the Areopress. I like diversity
  16. I was just ribbing you. There are so many ways to prepare coffee. Some are very anal about it. Auto Drip is my go to because it’s easy and works well on most days. The Bonavita has served me well. On days off with more time on my hands I play with the areopress, FR ch press or other methods but in the end it’s just a cup of joe and as long as the beans were roasted well it should be good
  17. 3 corned beefs were pulled from the smoker today. Coated in typical pastrami spices. Steamed to the finish
  18. You seem to be over looking the obvious. As compared to drip, the coffee is totally immersed and you have more control of the extraction time and grind. There is no paper involved in the extraction leading to a cleaner cup flavor wise, if you don’t mind the sludge that often passes through the screen filter.

    I just make sure there is enough fat in the meat I grind for burgers

    Dinner 2020

    Was in the mood for something warm and comforting even though it was in in low 80’s today corned beefs were on sale and while I usually pick them up and smoke’em to make pastrami, I made corned beef and cabbage tonight.

    I have a pack of thighs thawing in the sink and just seeing your post. I have lemongrass growing in the yard and have friends but I’m thinking yours Is a different kinda friends 😋
  23. Once you start buying green beans regularly and want larger amounts at better pricing with varied variety you join this group https://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com
  24. Heat gun roasting was my first intro into home roasting. After a while you get tired of holding the gun for 10+ min and stirring. I actually mounted the gun on a mike stand. from there moved onto the turbo oven/ stircarzy popcorn popper method. The heater disconnected from the stircrazy, Used that for years until just getting the Gene

    I often remove the stem and ribs but snack on them while preparing dinner
