Great, do you do cappuccinos?

if its an option on the machine I do it

Just ask for a “proper” coffee an iced Frappuccino with Soya milk and a pump of hazelnut will be translated as “Americano”

 

[hilton1958]

Oh, I had no idea. If I ask for an Americano in my neck of the woods, I get what appears to me to be nothing more than regular filter coffee.

Good morning all you gorgeous sexy matures.
New day, new challenges, new possibilities.

Good morning or is it afternoon for you.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Morning all I’ve got the coffee on

Morning and sipping on my first cup.

That's the time I rise on weekdays.

 

[ReallyRandyReader]

I usually get it together about 4:45AM MI time. Problem is Im 5 time zones ahead lol

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Usually my 15 year old dog has to go out at that time. Once up, I normally stay up.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Quiet evenings are good! Time to recharge.

Yup. Ran outta gas and crashed earlier than usual. The flip side is, here I am awake at Oh Dark Thirty. Good news is: coffee!!!

 

[hilton1958]

Time for coffee at work, but it's just regular cheap instant coffee, better than nothing though.

One of my first lessons from the army: “even a bad cup of coffee is a good cup of coffee.”

Morning all. Waiting for my coffeee to perk. Woke up a bit late. 530. Slept really well tho.

And that is when I use cream in the coffee

Get home safely, Horatio! I love your Zen postings! They are great reminders!

Made it home safe and sound. Airlining in the US isn’t what the movies make it out to be, but I made it home in one piece and only slightly ruffled feathers, so can’t complain. Thank you for the well wishes BTW!

Today is surgery day for my old juniper bonsai. Keeping fingers crossed my Shari doesn’t kill it . I think I may be overthinking it a tad, as the kids and myself have tried many times over the years to take her out but she keeps thriving! I’ll post pics when I’m done with her. She’s getting some much deserved love this week!

And now…your morning Zen…

I only started drinking coffee in the military, I never liked it as a kid?

I was a tanker, so I had to add luxury of being able to heat up food on the “bitch plate” of the tank. the bitch plate was the cover of the exhaust manifold of the M1A2 turbine engine which generates quite a bit of heat.

Simply turned the turret, a little bit to the side and you have easy access. Heated up MRI and coffee and just a few moments.

In a pinch, you could actually cook on the pitch plate, but once you took that cover off the surface was a little flatter, and much easier to cook on.

You didn’t actually cook on it, but you put your foil wrapped on it and heated it right up. 20-30 seconds and you had a pretty nice warm meal or a shitty mRE cuppa.

The moose eat a pile of willows in winter.

Wonder if it has a beneficial effect beyond food...... do moose shed antlers and if so when...is it painful.?

Moose and other deer relatives shed their antlers every year, and the process is thought to be painless.

The Brits have been able to brew tea and heat meals INSIDE the tank since WWII. But they invented them so they have that technological advantage.

What’s really distressing is the only product Caterpillar doesn’t stand behind is the manure spreader.

I have 24v in the Land Cruiser so I could cook and drive at the same time with one of these?

I'd stand well away from that piece of equipment, too.
