Lola at the Coffee House

What a sweetie pie your are, Sugar Pie.

No, i don't think so, just inept. A look at Clothing's three posts suggests that while it might be a bot account, it is more likely just someone who speaks English very poorly, and who hopes to post spam at some time soon.

MM maybe spam and eggs with a side of fried mushrooms?

Meanwhile just a nice hot black n tan coffee. Leave room for lotsa sugar.

Looks like todays weather will be benign, a day in early spring. I see mee in the dirt like a little kid in a sandbox. I must get my special "pepper grass" leaf lettuce crop in. I make a special Mesculen mix with cole plants like hot mustard and mix it with red leaf and deer tonguelettuces. I plant them as rows of little clumps that can be harvested all at once per clump. Peas are in, as are redbeets. Now I need to do onions and do an early cultivation of my garlic and spinach that I planted last fall.

Things look good right now, and with a coupla days of weather over 50 degrees, itll be almost balmy.

Crispy bacon, scrambled eggs made with plenty of butter, and good bread, toasted.
And when I say good bread, I don't want any of that crap stuff. Good bread.
Thank you.

yehhh, Im with him. I like to dip my toast into the golden yokes of my sunny sides or once over lightlies.
Ya cant do anything with scrambly except fill em up with cheeses , onions, ham, and mushrooms.
SOmetimes an omelette with kielbasi is just too satisfying, ya just cant eat too much of that kind.

I had soft boiled eggs with sprouted bread toast soldiers for lunch today!

I love poached eggs these days, too. Used to hate them, now they are a delight. Some bacon, or smoked salmon, or with anything, really.

I wish you hadn't mentioned eggs - this thread is very bad for my diet, I keep seeing food and fancying it! Boiled eggs and toast soldiers - nursery food - comfort food - dash it, I'm going to have some for lunch!

Add a glass of high-cream content milk...and that will be a hearty, nutritious, healthy breakfast...just like all the doctors used to advise us to eat back in the 1950's!

ats a "Toast soldier"??

I like to hear about similar foods with diff names.


Mrs F is a poached egg freak She can make em in a pot without nary a motion, mine always wind up like watery fog with a yolk somehwere in there.

Toast cut into strips for dunking in the egg.

" I make a special Mesculen mix with cole plants like hot mustard and mix it with red leaf and deer tonguelettuces. I plant them as rows of little clumps that can be harvested all at once per clump."
Brilliant, fm.

we learn all our "tricks" from others. I copied this from Ms Stolzfus down the Jordan Creek, She plants all her stuff as clumps in rows. That way she harvests whats needed fresh for her family. Its a neat little trick that saves space and makes weeding easier

That makes perfect sense. I used to grow lettuces (well, a lot of stuff) back in Venice, but doing the several in one thing never dawned on me.

The thinking man's perfect kitchen utensil.

Coffee. Please and thank you.

they sell mixes of various lettuces. (Thats what a mesculen really means "mixed leaves")
I thought of that myself cause mesculen seed packs are all inflated

I thought you meant the "rows of clumps" thats the brilliant part, it makes a meal in a picking and your clump can be sized according to your families per meal needs for salads or side greens

what a stupid sounding name. SOunds like a cross tween a racial epithet and a sweet nut spread.

We have one of those airhead cooks in US name of GIADIA--Her name sounds like a bacterial infection that is immune to all antibiotics

Oof! I've read her recipes sometimes, mostly fine, but her superduperdarlingsparkling personality is, for me, offputting to the max. I had to shut the video down. I gather that was a promo for the liqueur Tia Maria, similar to Kahlua. One can make a fair version out of coffee, sugar, vodka, and time. Which gives me an idea.. but I'd have to choose between that and making limoncello or I'd have a house full of sickly sweet liqueurs, of little interest to me with my daily repasts. Nice to have tucked away for those special occasions. I'd rather have some amari (italian bitter liqueurs) nestling somewhere - maybe the laundry 'room'.

Interesting, I could see the video. If people embed them (which I've always liked but can rarely see now since I don't have and cannot get the newest version of adobe flash) then my clicking on missing plug in or even the link is useless... but just the url link by itself worked. Hmmm.

(never did see what you think is the thinking man's perfect utensil)

As some of you might remember I have taken up Pride and Prejudice as a result of Setanta's praise of the mistresspiece. Every post Setanta writes provides sufficient evidence that he failed to understand the book that I am persuaded that he might as well have not read it at all except insofar that mentioning casually that he had imputes a literary taste which causes many illiterate or quasi-literate persons to gasp in awed admiration.

Anyway--that's by-the-by.

Mr Collins is delivering himself of some profound thoughts to Elizabeth at the breakfast table whilst he paces up and down the room before the others have come down. The "elevation of his feelings".

"My dear Charlotte and I have but one mind and one way of thinking. There is in every thing a most remarkable resemblance of character and ideas between us. We seem to have been designed for each other."

Those of us who understand ladies well know that Charlotte would like to stick a hatpin in his buttock, put itching powder in his underpants and a few drops of phenolphthalein in his dinner, and slap him back and forth about his jowls with a handy-sized flatfish held my the tail.

Those men who take it upon themselves to speak on behalf of women are a low form of pond life imo. They must assume that women are incapable of speaking for themselves to begin with and they have an interest in them continuing to be incapable in order for them to set them straight which is a process requiring the use of the vocal chords authoritatively.

As authoritative as any chap can be when running towards the enemy trenches waving his vest above his head vigorously.

It's a type of wheedling and pleading. What it forgets is that very few ladies in our world know what they really want. A few claim to do but I suspect it is themselves they are trying to persuade. They do tend to get insistent about the subject.

I once asked a couch of females which bottom they would like to cane most. Prince Charles was the first choice of three, two were for John Major and one, a quiet one, whispered Warren Beatty.

It's a nasty book is P&P.

Why the first sentence is so famous I can't understand. What does a woman know about a single man in possession of a fortune?

"I beg you would not put it into Lizzy's head to be vexed by his ill-treatment, for he is such a disagreeable man that it would be quite a misfortune to be liked by him."

The guy has ten thousand a year, large estates and is well connected.

That's not Nigella's fault. Nor is it Giada's fault that you spell her name incorrectly to get closer to the name of some disease in order to make a vulgar jest at her expense for some reason or other.

It might be that it is Gaida's fault that she hasn't got the hips of Nigella due to her askesis in relation to yum-yummy-yum yums. Quite a lot of men are known to watch Nigella's performances with the sound off.
