it's called POM wonderful. i always include the wonderful part b/c i :wub: the name. the label says pomegranite juice and natural flavors. i think it's way to strong on it's own but i like it diluted about 4 parts sparkling water to 1 part pom. my wife thinks it would be good w/ some vodka in there too but we all know vodka is for sissies :wink:

All right, my burning question is POM.  What exactly is it?

I've seen bottles of it....is it just bottled pomegranate juice?  That can't be it, is it?  Why is it so popular?

The Alpenroast rocks but you will need good ventilation when the cooling cycle kicks in.  I've been using one for a couple of years and can offer plenty of tips and tricks but you'll have to visit the fabulous  eGullet Coffee & Tea Forum  to discuss that.

i have a very powerful hood. my wife says she can smell it when i'm roasting from 2 blocks away. i had been using a fresh roast pus for about 1.5 years. i order my green beans from the coffee bean corral, usually columbian or guatemalan.

of course, the first thing my wife said when she saw the alpenrost was 'where are we going to put it ?' :angry:

Mustard, or cornichons? C'mon man, don't make us guess! Oh... I guess the whole blog is about guessing, I guess? :huh:

Seriously, looking forward to it, except that I'm lousy at games. :blink:

Carry on,

Ok, mon ami. What's a maria?

I'm thinking you went Vietnamese, but I'm not sure how. I'm having a big problem with the string cheese, unless it was in Iris's lunch. Did she have a bologna sam on a roll? I figure she and Robert had a popsickle for a late afternoon treat. Likewise the applesauce.

Where did you get the duck's eggs? What's a barilla pipette? Kix??????? And does the new buff g drink Diet Coke?

It's fun guessing what's for you and what's for the kids. String cheese and popsicles are a gimme - do they like spicy food yet? I can get Emma and Ian to try some spicy food. Ian still hates it, but Emma is getting a little more tolerant.

the duck eggs are from rolling goose farm in loda IL.

the goat cheese i had wen. night was from capriole called Mont.St. Francis..check out thier website, they have great products.

i bought both of these from the green city market. it's a great place to shop. when i asked judith schad, the owner/farmer/chesse maker how often they were at the market she said 'whenever the threshing machine is working' :laugh: she is so nice, and her cheeses are great. she also told me that when they started all the cheeses were given french names, but they stopped doing that.

yesterday:

my daughter had kix and rice milk for breakfast

her lunch was applesauce, string cheese, bologna, marias, and cashews

my wife and i both had leftovers for lunch

at 5:00 or so i had a bolagna sandwich w/ maille mustard on a dinner roll

both kids had barilla pipette cooked in chicken broth for dinner, and a dinner roll w/ butter w/ some rice milk.

at seven or so they each had a popsicle.

we got home and i had some bourbon, then some of the pinot gris. after they were in bed i:

soaked the cellophane noodles in water. cooked the noodles in boiling water for like a minute.

sauteed some shallots and chilies in oil. added the chinese sausage sliced. added the noodles.

beat 2 duck eggs w/ a little fish sauce and lime juice.

added the eggs to the noodles/shallots/chilies and added a the basil and black pepper. cooked and stirred for about a minute. let it cook undisturbed for about 3 more minutes, then flipped it (no spills :biggrin: ) and let it cook another 3 minutes.

i kinda based thish on a laotian ( i think it was) dish that i found in hot sour salty sweet. i'll try to look it up later.

What's a typical day, like what time do you eat breakfast?  Do you usually eat dinner after the kids go to bed?

breakfast is usually a glass of grapefruit and then lots of black coffee. sometimes on weekends i'll make bacon, egss, etc. but i'm usually not hungry when i get up.

we usually all eat dinner together at around 5:00 :shock: . this allows us to clean up, get the kids to the park so that they can run around and get sleepy, and then get to bed. i would prefer to eat at 7 or 8, but my wife really doesan;t like cleaning up at 10.
