    Hi Sandy - Well ... you can travel back in time to 1991 - 1995 and walk into a neat coffee shop on Front Street in Lahaina ... That's a picture of Sweetie with the pre-geezer making up a batch of espresso for granitas. She still looks exactly the same (I think she's got one of those...

    I always check in here first. But I dimly remembered seeing something about coffee so I posted my Coffee Granita recipe there. Elbert Dee ... he pm'd me regarding my difficulties with embedded videos saying he'd help me out any way he could. And then he lifted off. What a helpful soul he is.

    When we had the shop we used originally used espresso for the coffee granitas (slushees). I liked it but our customers preferred a milder version. So I made an Americano, froze it, and tried that. Success. We even had dual Granita machines ... that broke down regularly. Try to get...

    I posted this last night over in the other thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/lounge/293440-middle-aged-people-35-54-part-2-a-84.html#post6606333 It's how I keep my coffee intake up when the mercury rises. I feel for all of you that live where Summer doesn't fool around...

    We had a coffee shop on Maui until '95. This was our best seller. Here's how we did it: This won't work unless you can put ice cubes in your blender without breaking it. You might want to test it first. I'll wait ... Did it break? No? Good. Then let's proceed First get some good coffee...

    Good Saturday Morning Everybody - We're off for Family Fun Day and I just wanted to say hi ... and I'm glad to see the double entendres are flying fast and furious. I have yet to master the double entendre. My flirting skills were never that great to begin with. I can write stuff ... but...

    And it happened again! Operator error. I went outside with two, count 'em two batteries: A Go-Go and a Leo. I was going to be gone for hours. Unthinkingly I strolled out of the house with batteries that had 4 - 5 drags left in 'em. The last time that happened was in my second week of...

    Blues - Yeah I've noticed when I click on over here that the discussions are usually over. Or they haven't started yet. Am I the only one living in the Pacific Time Zone? Seems like it. A lot's going on at Casa Alex in Beautiful British Columbia these days. My Sweetie's getting her grad...

    Hey MissEmma - In a word ... NO. You didn't cause the problem for everybody ... It was A Storm. It's not your responsibility to solve everybody's storm-related problems so take care of yourself and your pups guilt-free. Years ago a winter storm knocked out the power in Seattle and the...

    Middle-Aged people 35-54 eh? I guess I'm a little past the upper limit. To be more precise ... waaaaaaay past the upper limit. I always thought the term "middle-aged" should reflect reality. 45's good. There are lots of people who make it to 90. After that it gets pretty hard to call yourself...

    It's Tuesday. What happened to Monday? How can I be 3 days behind but it's not Wednesday yet? These are the kinds of metaphysical questions that derail my making any real progress in whittling down the pile of nonsense that isn't visibly getting smaller. I'll continue playing around with...

    Thanks for the eGo twist news. I'll pass it along. If I wasn't so completely stocked up I'd feel compelled to try it myself. And now ... as the day comes to a close ... I have to go turn on the BigAssTV because it's time for True Blood. It's like a clothing optional Dark Shadows.

    Nope on the Robby. There was another Robby in the neighborhood when I was growing up. He lived there first. One Aunt, two cousins, and now you Sandy, have called me Bobby. My preference is nothing that ends in "y." Unless it's my Aunt, cousins, or Sandy a'calling. We've just come back from...

    Here in Beautiful British Columbia it's cloudy and 55. The sun's supposed to show up by the 4th and the temp might hit 70. Today is Canada Day. Parades, carnivals, festivals, barbecues, air and maritime shows, fireworks, and free musical concerts. Hot dogs and potato salad twice in one week...
