Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Now that I'm thinking about it.... I wonder how canned milk would do in cream sauces and soups...?

I've tried every way anyone has suggested and the canned milk just isn't good to taste. Freeze it! You may have better luck with cow milk, I have goats. Let us know. Another with goats has reported little success. we don't know the magic

Good Morning!
My coffee maker has decided to go on strike-I think it's related to the power outage we had yesterday from the wind and rain storm we had. If this is how the power is gonna go, I'm going to have to invest in more candles and lanterns. I never mind a good power outage, but reading by phone light isn't optimal for my aging eyes. I'm going to take the darned thing apart later, this morning I strained hot water through coffee grounds. It was not as good, but caffeine is the goal, and I'm very goal oriented in the morning.

Work was so slow yesterday, so we got a lot of holiday prep done-putting candy canes on spikes, pricing new plants, taking out everything Christmasy and decorating the shop. It looks like the elves were busy, but I love this time of year, and every Christmas light and sparkly ornament makes me happy.

I'm starting my newest project, microgreens. I have gained some weight since last year, and I will admit-I eat garbage foods, so in an attempt to get healthier, I'm going to grow the microgreens-I find them easier on my system than full grown vegetables. Life without a gall bladder is complicated! I'm going to grow my own since around here in bougie-land (as my kids call it) one small package will go for 5-10 dollars and I can't justify spending money on something I can grow myself.

Well, off the strain some more caffeinated goodness!

@Honeybee Hill ive gone for weeks at a time with no power. For one 3 week stretch due to a hurricane, I was in an all electric house! I have the answer to your dilemma.

BOILED CAMPFIRE COFFEE!

Boil it in a pot on the stove. To settle the grounds, toss in some ice cubes. That shocks the coffee and most will settle to the bottom.

Look at it this way, at least you aren’t in the back yard buildings a fire.

I have an old percolator....still available in camping area. With Starbucks and K-cups some don't even know this used to be standard way.

I boiled the water and poured it through a strainer into the cup. I think before coffee, that was as technical as I could get. I will absolutely try the ice cubes!

I have my moms old percolator-the best tasting coffee comes from a percolator! I have to find another cord for it. She got it in 1957 when my parents got married, the cord gave out a few years back!

I agree about the k-cups and all the hoopla with todays coffee makers. So expensive! DH offered to go to Starbucks for me-I'd rather sleep walk than drink that overpriced, bitter stuff.

French press for me when there's no power. At least I don't have to strain the grounds out through my teeth, lol!

Oh man - I remember my Grandmother's old percolator! She had a corningware one. I still have the pot - less the lid and guts (wish I had those parts).

Just add a paper filter and you'll have drip coffee. ALA the way the old Mr Coffee used to make it (is that even still around??). There used to be a coffee house around here that did that into individual cups at their "coffee bar".

We always use a French press

Good stuff
