13262. Max Macks - 1/14/2005 2:45:46 AM I read some where than after Ford bought Jaguar co.
those cars had less mechanical problems.
But I read something some what recently tht
Ford was now dumping Jaguar.
Does that mean the end of Jaguar autos? 13263. arkymalarky - 1/14/2005 2:48:15 AM Bob loves Folgers Coffee Singles. You brew it like tea. I still use a coffee maker or percolate mine when I drink it. I like it pretty strong and I'm not particular about the taste. I bought some Cafe DuMonde and it was good. Tried another New Orleans coffee (both were cheaper than the others) and it was crap. 13264. judithathome - 1/14/2005 3:38:10 AM Cafe DuMonde
Does it have chicory in it? I love that New Orleans stuff with chicory...like it best IN New Orleans. ;-) 13265. Wombat - 1/14/2005 3:46:56 AM Cafe du Monde...yummmm. Beignets...double yummmm. 13266. arkymalarky - 1/14/2005 5:12:39 AM Yep. The other had chickory in it too, but it didn't help the taste. 13267. arkymalarky - 1/14/2005 5:13:57 AM One of these days I've got to make the time to get back to New Orleans. Bob and I both love it, but we've never been there together. 13268. judithathome - 1/14/2005 5:25:46 AM Last time we were there was to pick up our Volvo which had been shipped from Germany. 1989.
We had a great time but didn't get to stay long because my parents had driven us and we went back when they did...up through Mississippi and over to Vicksburg. My dad had taken me to Vicksburg National Park when I was a teenager and I wanted to see it again. Keoni really enjoyed seeing all the civil war monuments and we got to tour a wooden submarine, too...well, look at it, rather. 13269. seadate - 1/14/2005 9:37:24 AM Try Community New Orleans Blend, cher! 13270. seadate - 1/14/2005 9:42:33 AM Hello, Judith and Arky! ...
Judith, I laughed about the concept of a wooden submarine when I read your last post. I guess the concept didn't work cause the damn thing kept floating. 13271. Macnas - 1/14/2005 10:20:20 AM The best coffee I've had so far, using my nice new kettle, is some of the Fair Trade stuff. And it's a bit of a kick in the stones to Nestle as well.
13272. PelleNilsson - 1/14/2005 1:01:50 PM This is the time when various institutes announce whhich courses they are going to run. They span over a wide range from carpenry to crystal healing. Some are very odd. I thought I had seen it all but ask myself: who is attracted to a one-week course in fish skin tanning? 13273. alistairconnor - 1/14/2005 1:05:14 PM Pliddicly correct eh... Ah I'm afraid I'm going to have to one-up you there Mac.
For the last few years, I've drunk mostly Cafe Organico, from Mexico -- I've tried various other organic ones, but I keep coming back to it.
It's not only organic and fair-trade, it comes from Indian peasants in the Chiapas.
AND most importantly, it's the best coffee I've ever had. 13274. alistairconnor - 1/14/2005 1:08:21 PM It helps that I've got a halfway decent machine -- a low-end Saeco (it's developed a leak, I've no idea how to get it serviced because I cleverly bought it off the internet)
It's got a clever system for cappucino -- sucks up the milk through a tube and spits out as foam. Works really well, and doesn't require any skill like the real thing. 13275. alistairconnor - 1/14/2005 1:10:25 PM Think of all the novel Christmas gifts you could make out of fish leather.
For the awkward relative who has everything... a codskin codpiece? 13276. Macnas - 1/14/2005 1:15:13 PM I'd like to do a wiring course, I'm ashamed to say I can draw up diagrams and control schematics but am crap at actually wiring anything up. 13277. Macnas - 1/14/2005 1:17:30 PM WRT the Fair Trade coffee, my brother recommended it. It's a bit more costly but it is very good. 13278. Magoseph - 1/14/2005 1:22:01 PM Hi, Mac--one degree Fahrenheit here now--wind-chill temperature: -15. We prepared for it yesterday anticipating the whole weekend home. How is the weather over there? 13279. Macnas - 1/14/2005 1:29:31 PM Mild, not much wind at the moment, a bit misty.
Christ on a bike, but that sounds cold Mago. From about -17 to -26 deg.c!
13280. Magoseph - 1/14/2005 1:40:17 PM It is rather cold for you too, unless I did not convert your temperature correctly, Mac. 13281. Macnas - 1/14/2005 2:01:37 PM No no Mago, it is a very mild 10 deg.c here.
The -17 to -26deg.c figures are your own deg.f converted.
