Okay Beans or ground? I buy beans and grind up enough for a couple days. A pard of mine was in the coffee business and said beans are fresher than ground coffee because it’s been ground months ago and packaged.
I used to do that. But for weekday coffee, or what I put in my travel cup for work, the premium price of it just isn't worth it. If it's on special I might pick some up for "Weekend Coffee" or an evening treat. Otherwise it's either Folgers or Yuban.

How many of you had to read this in junior high? Or maybe high school? An excellent little piece, the message of which is usually lost on youth, and ignored by English teachers.

A holiday favorite is "1776".
It's weird...I usually don't think of that as a musical!

Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't.
I've read that on a drive, with unfamiliar and changing conditions every day, maybe short on water and feed , they could be edgy.

Helluva pitcher’s duel again tonight!
A rookie, pinch hitting with a .172 batting average, hits a deep sacrifice fly ball to center field in the tenth inning for the Yanks to grab the series!
Great game, I don’t care who you’re for!!
Fantastic game! Nail biter. In my opinion, being born and raised in San Diego County, I think the wrong team won, but hells bells! Padres blew a 3-1 lead in the 8th.

Some good suggestions. I'd have to go with the discovery of antibiotics or vaccines.
Or maybe insecticides.

It was June 1941 that the name changed from United States Army Aor Corps to United States Army Air Forces.
In 1947 it changed again when the USAAF was abolished and became the Department of the Air Force, and United States Air Force.
I would say it would depend on what it was when he was discharged or retired, or the wishes of the family .

Now, whether or not it's APPROPRIATE or ACCEPTABLE behavior is quite another thing .

Never heard it called "grinds." I call both the fresh and used coffee grounds "grounds. "
But, language changes. I'm seeing thing like, "he kneeled down" rather than "he knelt down." Or, "He grinded the grain between stones" instead of "He ground the grain."

Except for the 5 fingers with nubbins and no visible thumb on left hand
As he said, the AVERAGE Joe wouldn't catch it. I noticed that the trigger finger wasn't on the trigger because it looked odd as I almost scrolled past it. But take that away and this "average Joe" wouldn't have caught it as AI. I don't stop and OCD analyze every image I see.
But the screams of "THAT'S AI!!!!" at every photo is as tiresome as the older, 'THAT'S PHOTOSHOP!" On some threads in other fora, even when I can provide a link to the Library of Congress site, people will swear up, down, and sideways that something is AI.

I gave these a try tonight
Crispy Oyster Mushroom Tacos
Ingredients
6 ounces Oyster Mushrooms shredded
1 Bell Pepper sliced
1 Red Onion sliced
2 TBS Olive Oil separated
2 TBS Taco Seasoning separated
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 cup Salsa Verde
1/2 Lime juiced
8 Corn Tortillas
pickled onions optional
lime wedges, cilantro
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Use your hands to shred the mushrooms and add them to a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of oil & 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. Toss to coat and spread in an even layer.
Add the onion, bell pepper and remaining oil & taco seasoning to the other baking sheet. Toss to coat and spread in an even layer. Place both baking sheets in the oven for 15 minutes. Toss and place back in the oven for 5 minutes. Baking time will vary depending on thickness of vegetables. After 15 minuts check and see if they need that extra 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the mayo, salsa verde & lime juice in a bowl.
Remove the veggies from the oven and replace the parchment paper on one of the baking sheets. Heat the tortillas and working one at a time, brush one side with oil, flip it over and spread out 1 tablespoon of sauce. Add some veggies and fold to close. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place in the oven for 10 minutes, flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings.A few small changes....yellow onion rather than red onion, lemon juice instead of lime juice, and a red salsa. The tortillas I had were on the old side, so they split when I folded them.
Verdict: definitely do again, but use less oil, and maybe put the mushrooms and vegetables on paper towels when they come out of the oven. And use fresh tortillas.
Variations might be use flour tortillas, and make a Refried Beans and Mushroom Burrito. Or use the filling in eggroll wrappers.
The shredded mushrooms baked with a BBQ seasoning, then mixed with BBQ Sauce will make a good faux pulled pork sandwich.

This is from WALK DON'T RUN, a remake of THE MORE THE MERRIER. It's the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. And every place is full. Cary comes into town 3 days early and cannot check into his hotel because it's full. Samantha has a two bedroom apartment so she decides to rent out her spare room to help out with the overcrowding. She meant for another woman, but Cary bullies her into accepting him.
Samantha drinks tea, but she happens to have a pot and some coffee.
One of her coworkers shows up at the apartment to take her to work, and sees the coffee pot and drinks Cary's coffee while he's in the bathroom.
That one cup of water will yield about a half cup of coffee with all those grounds.

I didn't know you put yeast in waffles. If you weren't making it from a mix, you put baking powder in it.
Before chemical leavening people used yeast. Commercially produced fresh yeast cakes used to be much more popular than they are now. People who learned to cook from receipts passed down would likely stick with them. Also, remember that the page got flipped by the fan. I think that the actual waffle receipt called for baking powder. But yeast waffles are quite nice.

I have no idea how to use those either. But she put in 3 or 4 cups of grounds and , I think, 2 coffee cups of water. Even not knowing how to work that type of coffee maker you would know that it's wrong.

I got a Yahoo news email. The top headline read
CARDINALS ENTER SISTENE CHAPEL
Y'all been posting so much baseball stuff here that immediately I thought St Louis. And I'm wondering what the heck the St Louis ball team is doing at the Sistine chapel?
Then I finished reading the rest of the headline
CARDINALS ENTER SISTENE CHAPEL TO BEGIN CONCLAVE
Oooohh. THEM Cardinals. That does make a little more sense.
Baseball is a very religious and hierarchical game....it has Metropolitans, Cardinals, and Padres.

In my opinion the worst is when the wife who doesn’t have a clue about how to make coffee tries to do it.

Uh, you like musicals. Your list tells the story.
Now I do, but for the first 35 years of my life, more or less, except for those 2 I didn't. My wife slowly corrupted me.

Cribbage is a two, three, or four handed game. Donation to the crib varies accordingly.
Try 2 person, 9 card cribbage. Discard 3 cards. Or a 12 card deal, discard 4. You get some insanely high counts. You need to make it a 241 point game.
