Besides, cold-brewed is the new trend. I saw on PBS there's a coffee house somewhere that specializes in that. I forget what the advantages are, maybe something to do with acidity."Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably

Supposedly, cold brewing is less bitter and less acidic. Since there's no heat applied, most of the oils that make the coffee taste old and stale get left in the grounds. I don't have any personal experience with it (yet, just haven't been willing to use a pound or so of coffee for the experiment).You're only delaying the inevitable, you run at your own expense.

Another culinary delight:
Boil 2 cups of milk to make some enriched instant mashed potatoes: Baby Reds w/ roasted garlic & Parmesan cheese.
Set milk bowl/mug on desk.
Dump potato flakes into 34 oz mug of heavily sweetened coffee.I am not an a**hole. I am a hemorrhoid. I irritate a**holes!

Quoth sms001 View PostHad a GF who used to order the vanilla shake at Wendy's to dip her french fries into - often. 'fraid my 'Sweet and Savory' side runs to the more traditional.
what? 1 my aunt introduced me to it - and 2 i started it when a friend of mine was pregnant and I got her cravings.... (she didn't have any)I am well versed in the "gentle" art of verbal self-defense

Quoth firecat88 View PostThat reminds me of something that happened at my house several years ago. We used to make mashed potatoes using a little bit of unflavored Coffee Mate to make it creamier. However, we also keep a few flavored creamers in the fridge as well as the unflavored one. Guess which one my sister grabbed to put in the potatoes.

Use at least three times the recommended amount of coffee. End up with your own personal drip version of bitter espresso; as a bonus make the whole office smell like a cheap coffee grenade exploded. Bonus! be the only one to stomach the concoction and make regular trips to refill your cup. (yes, that was me, and from there on I wasn't allowed to make coffee anymore )

Someone pours water into reservoir, grabs coffee can out from under the coffeemaker, opens coffee can and discovers it is empty, tosses coffee can away and closes top of the coffeemaker. Doesn't tell anyone we're out and doesn't dump out the old grounds. Have to listen to a different co-worker who finds machine in this condition bitching about old grounds left in the basket. Later find out it was my hubby who did this. Why he didn't put a note on the machine or go out and buy more coffee I don't know.Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.
I'm a case study.

Quoth Food Lady View PostWant creamy potatoes? Put in a tablespoon of mayo. No, you don't taste mayo. You just perceive creaminess. This works especially well tastewise if you boil the potatoes with some onion.https://www.youtube.com/user/HedgeTV
Great YouTube channel check it out!
