Cook With Coffee
A bunch of recipes. This sounds potentially very nummy:
Coffee Shoofly Pie
If you've never tried shoofly pie, or made one, you really should. A specialty of the Pennsylvania Dutch, it's a very full-flavored, molasses-y pie with a part jelly-like, part crumbly filling. It's noteworthy that historians aren't sure where the pie got its name. One theory says that the sweet stickiness of the pie was a real fly magnet. Another claims that the name came from the French chou-fleur - cauliflower - which the surface of the pie is said to resemble, texture-wise. In any event, I don't know that the Pennsylvania Dutch ever add coffee to theirs.
It's not at all out of the question: the coffee flavor has a certain compatibility with the molasses.
...
Bottom line: this is a delicious pie, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance the forward flavor. Easy, too, since you can use a frozen pie shell from the supermarket (or make your own, of course.)
I am not even going to look - that sounds crazy. I'm scared that floral print jeans may be next on the horrible fashion trend redux.
My $800 toilet and $600+ data recovery, not to mention the approx $40/week extra on household help - blew the budget this year, but no new clothes/shoes for a year, cheaper household cleaners, and ebaying stuff is helping a bit.
I saw a Miley Cyrus video yesterday where she performed with Electric Mayhem. It was really cute.
What are the Russians thinking?
Grammar question: "on every level" or "in every level"? Or is it depends on other parts of the sentence?
I had a flowered jean jacket! OMG-- so horrible.
Oh yeah, clothes falling off didn't help either! I actually cut back on some things, but something else always managed to make it up.
Ah well, I have a car that mostly works (still haven't dealt with no dash lights...well, unless you count the $5 clip-on LED,) computer that works & is backed up, cats that are alive, teeth that have been repaired finally...
Shir, the phrase "on every level" is much more common, but if someone had many levels where things could be placed, I could see "in every level" being used.
Msbelle, I am trying not to buy new clothes to compensate for my new computer. Though I think I may have to get a couple of new pairs of pants suitable for work to get me through the winter.
I find that bringing lunch with me is a huge money saver. It's not just the money I spend on lunch, but also the other things I might happen to buy when I go out at lunch that make the dent.
bringing lunch is a big cost saver. I am finding it saves at least 50% per meal, still I only manage it about twice a week. If I could bring that up to 3-4 times per wekk, plus keep my coffee purchase down to once a week, then I've saved enough to cover the house helper. But it is not getting ahead at all.
I managed to get a new suit and work shirt vis freecycle earlier this year and did buy 2 shirts and 2 skirts before I started the buying ban. Basically, I have more clothes than I need and should purge about a quarter of it.
Mac is constantly growing, so I am stuck with buying for him. Still,I am buying less than I did a year ago because he tends to wear the same 3-4 things over and over.
bringing lunch instead of buying it is a huge money saver for us.
