I had me a cup of vending machine java today to go along with my homemade oatmeal cookies...It was nasty of course.

Man, oh man, I'm totally spoiling myself with this fresh ground stuff

(BTW, I think this place needs a drooling smiley like the one I just posted. Perfect for those Homer Simpson moments: "Mmmmmm.... In-body image stabilization... ghrgl...

")

What is that?

tamoio · « **Reply #107 on:** January 26, 2012, 04:23:15 PM »

Really good Brasilian coffee, available in any grocery store in Brasil for very little dinheiro but almost unavailable in the U.S..

I get 2 or 3 kilos every trip or if a relative visits.

Its a vacuum-sealed bag, the coffee is ground fine and works with a melitta style drip maker. Traditional brasilian coffee making (the way my mother-inlaw makes it for me) the coffee is added to a pan of water, heated and then the infusion is filtered through a cotton coffee filter, I drink it con leche.

As I sip some brew, I'd like to share a little something. My local Public Radio station is holding there semi-annual pledge drive this week, and they give gifts with donation levels and they have daily prizes and sometimes hourly incentives.

Anyway, driving to work today (half day, woo hoo!) I hear the station is giving away a Canon 7D as a daily prize. One makes any donation and gets into a pool for a chance to win the prize.

Now, I've listened to this station for over 10 years and I've never pledged, but after hearing about the daily prize I called up and made a dontaion.

I honestly believe I have no chance in hades of actaully winning, but it is a nice feeling knowing I have finally gave to a radio station I love...but a 7D would be nice too.

I understand karma and even just hoping for this will mean my ultimate elimination from a chance to win...oh well.

So let karma to the wind and let the cards fall where they may!

This is actually part of a limited "reissue" of a much loved/hated economy brand of food and household products that existed in the 80s, called Blåvitt ( = Blue white). To underline that the products were anything but fancy, they all had white packaging with the contents declared in large caps:

Very communist-dictatorship-chíc

Those tins at the top labeled KAFFE (swedish for coffee) don't come filled with coffee, which is a good thing, because as I recall it, their coffee was shit. I really liked their ICE CREAM though.

Hmm... Apparently they do sell coffee grounds too. I may have to give it a try, just for old time's sake

voyager · « **Reply #124 on:** February 14, 2012, 03:24:57 PM »

Nah, coffee!
