Peet's is pretty good....
can afford it since I don't drink near as much as I used to.... otherwise, Maxwell House, Folgers, Yuban or even Costco's Colombian will do. |
I have a Keurig Coffee Brewer so I use K-Cups. Before I had my Keurig I used to gind my own beans, I prefer French Roast.

I am :mad:

Glad you are feeling better, Gary. Get your flu shot !!! Flu is like automobiles a new model comes out every year.

I plan on it now BARGOO! Thanks for the push!!!
|
This time tomorrow morning Angie and I will be just about ready to head out and pick our GRAND-daughter up and take her to breakfast :woohoo:
My son and daughter in law will be at their high school giving tests to kids..... unlucky them :( LUCKY ME!!! :) |
Lucky Grand-daughter !

I have been real good about not over-buying!!! and making small deposits into an account for ALL grand-kids....on weeks I am working! The economy is all ready hurting my FUTURE Grandchildren ;) |

AND she behaved super well...but she was just about ready to "blow" just as we finished her nap was about 10 minutes passed due...we hustled outta there.... no reason for anyone to see her in her "cranky I need a nap and I need it NOW!" state... that just wouldn't do.... after all she has a reputation to try and live up too... the one her Grandpa is setting....;) The perfect child! I know it's not fair but..... too bad so sad!! |
In my next life, I want to be one of EZ's grandchildren.
In my current life, things are good and I'm enjoying snuggling into my nice warm house on a cold, wet and windy Sunday. Too bad I have to go out to Church in a half hour! |

Am I crazy or what ? I have invited my family for Thanksgivng dinner .
I have numerous boxes still needing to be unpcked My good china is in these boxes...somewhere I have no dining room table or chairs One guest eats no sugar One guest eats no wheat What about pumpkin pie ? What about Bread stuffing ? What about hot dinner rolls ? |
Because we have your normal divorced/dysfunctional family with extended families of moms/dads/grandparents/etc and because every other major holiday is held at my home for everyone, we have given up Thanksgiving Day for the Friday or Saturday depending on all the kids schedule...
NOT THIS YEAR!!! Angie says it has been at least 14 years since we had it here on Thanksgiving Day... she demanded it be here this year...and as always she got her demand met... Guess who the BOSS of our family is?...extended or not! It will be an WEST COAST vs. EAST COAST SHOWDOWN!! I will explain later.... off to church soon. |
Canadian T-Day has come and gone but I still will be having a Thanksgiving Dinner here next Sunday for my "girls" group - two widows, two single parents, five noisy kids and three extra dogs! We get together once a month and share the cooking - and the nagging of the kids re table manners. The dogs are better behaved than the kids, of course.

Never explained the EAST COAST vs. WEST COAST Thanksgiving. Most holidays/BBQ's are celebrated as a family here at my house. Our children/nephew do see the "other side"on those days sometimes too at some point. We do pretty well "sharing"..... except the GRANDdaughter sometimes she ends up missing...later found at Grandpa's...wink Anyway, for the last 13-14 years or so we have let the kids do the "other side" on Thanksgiving Day. Then we do ours as a family on Friday or Saturday. It usually works out ok, sometimes Angie and I do a 5K that morning....no big deal. Well this year my step-daughter's boyfriend will be here (should be)...he is moving out here and is doing a little dragging of the feet (not w/o reason! but that's not my problem and I try to stay out of step-kid drama these days!!)... Anyway, he said he wanted to wait until after Thanksgiving because we...WE here on the west coast don't know how to do Thanksgiving!! I guess I should remind he is from Long Island, New York. So, I asked my step-kid, who has had Thanksgiving a couple of times with them when she didn't come home from college, how it was... she said it was OK but nothing exceptional. She said ours is much better and he will love it. I asked her if his mom/dad did scalloped potatoes and she said that compared to mine she wouldn't call them that!! That's all I need to know!! lol Anyway, Ang says she isn't going to change things just for the BF... however she "demanded" nicely from all the kids that she wanted Thanksgiving with them on Thanksgiving Day just because it has been so long... but I'm thinkin' she is gonna try and show off....and all I have to say to that is... IT WORKS FOR ME!! |
Go for it Angie ! Show that kid that we know how to live on the West Coast, too......and we don't have to shovel snow....so there !
|
I hope she rocks are EDIT~ OUR Thanksgiving BARGOO (that's a given if she doesn't change a thing)
I may just start a Thanksgiving Food Regional Challenge here today....think I will! Howver...sniff...sniff.... As you all may remember we are cancelling :nose: Christmas this year due to Reba's enormous vet bills! After my trip to my periodontist yesterday (:tantrum: they LIED!! it was for a cleaning they said...4 hours and 1 tooth later) I think we will be cancelling Christmas next year too! I also have X-Rays to take across the street to my dentist for a crown! That's why I am a bit :mad: today....I brush regularly, I floss regularly, I see them 3-4 times a year....I chew sugarless gum, I don't drink anything all day long but water and black coffee. Old age and soft teeth they say...mom was too...but she had dentures, except for my one bridge in the back, and the one he stole yesterday, I still have all my teeth.... oh, except for my wisdom teeth.... that might explain things ;) |
It certainly does, Gary!
I am going to be in PA for American Thanksgiving this year. Is there anything I should worry about - aside from being in the middle of a very dynamic Italian family and being a WASP? |

All I can say is when the poop starts hittin' the fan....Duck and DUCK FAST!! |

The book speculates that I was shot by two boys instead of by myself - which is the common speculation.
Both speculations are false. I died of a broken heart when I realized what my paintings would sell for in the 21st century even though I was too poor to buy adequate food at the time. <sigh> . . . It didn't seem to help. Should have thought this through better. |

Gary won !!!!!
|
I did win...
wonder what Angie will get? All she told me was a basket of stuff. Knowing the lady I can imagine it will cool stuff for my wife but I doubt there is a cheesy/hamburgery cookbook or anything close in it to get my heart racing!....lol Thank you all again that voted and the trouble some had to go through to do it. It means a lot to me!! The support here on all fronts for people is amazing at times. Big Hug |
Sheesh, Gary! Don't get all sentimental and soppy in here!
I am glad you won though and hope Angie shares some of the good things in the gift basket. Crappy cold and wet weather here this morning but I shall rise above it. More coffee helps! |
