NavierA local coffee roasters. I get a two pound bag once a month. Saw the guy delivering to the local cafe and looked them up. So good. Each morning before work I do a batch in a stainless steel moka pot, and bring it in a thermos. There just is nothing I like better than that one. "Cafeteria Blend" it's called.
Two good jobs and digging out from each of us being single parents before we got together but no, we are ok. Can't retire or anything like that but not one bad month from homeless anymore.
I was even in a position to help a friend with a (no interest) loan when she had a very bad month, it was tight for us but not impossible, and my husband did not get mad or worried at all that I did that, so I would say we are well off?
The overall economy is made up of a lot of data points - we are a little bit worse off than we were in terms of cash flow, but wealthier because we bought a house before (well at the start of) the bubble.
Peaky Blinders, for sure. That soundtrack, wow.
I love Monsoon Wedding, but the music is better than the movie in that one too.
That's a pretty succinct description of AI. We are required to use Copilot at work (not kidding) and I always have to remind myself that AI use language the way demons do in Frieren - they don't have intent or intelligence really but use it in an approximation of language. It never really means anything.
Not even pathological though - exhaustion will do this. I used to be so tired (life situation exhausting) and more than once got up to pee in the night, sat on the toilet but was not completely convinced I was awake not dreaming so couldn't pee. Dreams intruding on that barely awake state is, I don't want to say normal, but not unusual either.
It never happens now I am better rested.
If it's not irradiated it has eggs, if you don't use it quickly, parking it in the freezer for a couple weeks kills them.
I know ours isn't irradiated because I use it for sourdough but use it quickly because sourdough. But back when I didn't bake much I did have to freeze it, or bugs. Rice too.
See ya later!
Here they are in Walmart groceries, Whole foods, Sprouts, Publix, and outside of a few others, and some of the ice machines around also do filtered water.
Yeah her first marriage (and name change) was literally 50 years ago, it's difficult to get documents that old, from far flung vital statistics offices. Presumably she DID show the document to the DMV fifty years ago, but the state didn't document that back then.
It's just the overly strong glue that bothers me. I want to be able to open the bag without ripping a hole in it. Like having a garment with thread stronger than the fabric, the fabric will tear.
You can, though? There are cheap by the gallon water filter machines in grocery stores. Bring your barrel.
She didn't know because the employee the first time just said come back with a birth certificate so she thought they already had whatever else they needed.
And this was not needed for voting or driving before. You could just renew & use the license in Florida for driving and voting even though it would not work as ID nationwide.
This was a test-and-adjust drink. I was looking for something with Fernet & Mezcal and everything I saw were stirred very boozy things, I was not in the mood for. I saw one though with cachaca and lime so tried a margarita approach.
Started with these, shaken:
1.5 oz tequila
.75 oz each Fernet and Mezcal
Juice of one lime.
Nope. Too flat, too sour. Added about 1/2 oz Pineapple Amaro, and a squirt of Agave, shook again and THIS is a keeper. I guess Fernet does like sweeter drinks more. This one is balanced and I can taste all the ingredients but they did cocktail into a new taste. I usually don't taste the pineapple in the pineapple Amaro but it's shining in this drink - I may try another Fernet-Mezcal-Pineapple Amaro variation (when I am in the mood for stirred and boozy) as I think those together are the magic here.
So, I saw this recipe that inspired me.

But don't have mango eau de vie and not about to make it, and I think as written it would be too sweet for my palate. And of course everything needs ice here in the summer. I did make the green mango tequila.
So far I can vouch for tequila, green mango and sauternes - it's a surprisingly good combination.
This is:
2.5 oz green mango infused tequila
1 oz Sauternes wine
.75 oz lemon
.25 oz Giffard Apricot (because I have no mango liqueur right now and did you hear Chinola is making a Guava liqueur? I am excited for that.)
Squirt of honey.
Shaken with ice.
My thoughts - the green mango tequila is tart and I think the lemon sort of muddies the flavor. I would try this again with more Sauternes and a splash of mango liqueur, leave out the honey and if it was too sweet adjust with citric or malic acid not lemon.
I would also like to try the green mango tequila with ginger beer but not today, this is a one and done.
And I was thinking to convert the recipe into a punch or sangria, a pitcher cocktail using a whole bottle of Sauternes, but I think that it might need to go in a different direction. Again, I do love the combination of the green mango with the Sauternes, and tequila - the main flavor combo is good. I've tried amchur and tequila - the green mango infused tequila worked so much better to get that flavor.
1 oz tequila blanco
1/2 oz each mezcal, Campari, passion fruit syrup, ginger syrup and lime.
Squirt of fire tincture
Shake these together and add 1-2 oz IPA beer.
I had to substitute apricot liqueur for the passion fruit and it's really good so I suspect anything fruity would be fine. Beer I used is Jai Alai and only 1 oz, I don't like it but as an ingredient in here can't taste it, must add something though. This is bitter in a great way, somehow not too sweet, I went a little heavy on the lime but close to the 1/2 oz. If you do like beer I think you could safely increase it past the 2 oz and still have something really nice.
The rainy season is finally here too. So happy to be out here watching the rain.
Biker kitty!
