I keep it simple for my mug of coffee each morning: nuke a mugful of milk, stir in a heaping teaspoon of Folger's crystals, and stir in a little Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix (an envelope of Swiss mix is supposed to be a single serving but lasts me at least 2 weeks).

I think these photos are from back in March, but I've never posted them here. (I've got a lot of catching up to do in several threads! )
Roak French Toast Oatmeal Stout, and it did have quite a French Toast/ Maple Syrup aftertaste or odor, but that's really not what I'm looking for in a stout.




Since the stout mentions various breakfast foods, I had a can of it one evening with leftover Farmers Omelet and American Fries (supplemented with some broccoli) from Real Food Cafe.

Wife was off work today.
Asked if I wanted to go for a coffee?
Should have known it was a ploy to do a Costco run while we were out.

Thanks for the info.
My family rolls their collective eyes often over my knife photo activity.


Congrats, Todd; it's great that school ends for you before Memorial Day!


Beer and SamDamLamb both look great, Jack!
One of the best things about a walk on a summer afternoon is justification for a beer when I return home. Twice this week, I enjoyed one of these after an afternoon 5-mile hike:

Thanks Gary, sorry for missing your post, I've had a month on the waggon, so avoiding temptation!

First brew with this tea ... 3 grams/46.2 grains, water nuked for 3 minutes (190 ~ 200 degs) 8 minutes steep time ... good flavor, but a tad weak. Going to uppit to 4 grams (61.7 grains) and mebby steep a tad longer for the next cup.
Knife: Higo no Kami 10

If anyone cares, Golden Sail Brand Lichee Black Tea (loose leaf). I like it.

Fore the record, I have been known to induldge in "adult" beverages. However, they are mighty hard to acquire here. (owner and staff won't buy, for the res'dunts, even when given the funds) and I gots no vehicle.
Vehicle cost too much to buy, feed, and maintain anyway, so I don't "miss" having one ... plus my DL is expired ...
(I wonder ... since my DL is expired, am I still who it says I am? If not, who am I?!? )

("After 5 P.M. (17:00)" is when those allowed "adult beverages by their doc (does include me, myself, and I) are given one.
We cannot keep them in our room, with or without a personal refrigerator. "Life" is just "easier" to go without.)

I hope y'all have a great weekend.

"Tad Weak" = can still see/almost see the bottom of a full cup.

EDIT: 15:47
Second Cup 4 grams Tea, steeped 10 minutes much better.
Ginger & Lemon Snaps (arrived hours after the photo was took) also good.

That sounds like being in the Big House (well, maybe a Big House in Sweden or something)!

My month of sobriety is up tomorrow! For now, I'm drinking coffee in Charlies cafe

You’re welcome, and you’re sneaky, I didn’t even notice you took a picture!
Thank you for the 25!
