And furthermore, my coffee came out weak and crappy this morning. had to ditch it and make more.  Anybody uses a nespresso?  Don't like keurig. diane s

I add a scoop of Bustello espresso to our AM pot, so that first sip has legs !!

Cook's Illustrated did a testing of different single serve coffee machines. I have yet to go wrong following the advice offered by Cook's Illustrated. Something to consider. I have a Bunn single serve coffee maker at school. I like it, but it has no reservoir. It does make a mean cup of joe, though. Honestly, I think the best coffee still comes from a drip maker. Using a drip is far less expensive, too. Just my two cents. 

thanks for the coffee advice. I hea****er and pour it through a cone thing. I have a hamilton beach single cup maker but put it away as it just isn't strong enough.    Right now i am using gevalier but might go back to the starbucks bright morning or whatever it is.

Well the lovely little girl dog has arrived, creating commotion in the house.  at least she is quiet in the crate and our male is not screaming.  what a zoo.  diane s

Hi gang. I'm at 114 and my food is fine. 

A very dark cloud that has been hanging over my head is starting to rain on me.  Not something I'm wanting or able to talk about but it's a serious personal issue (not physical health related but very taxing my mental health).  I'm anticipating some tough days ahead so please keep me in your thoughts. 

All my best thoughts coming your way! 

(((Hugs))) Praying that it all works out for the best.

Best wishes in the coming days. 

Hugs. Love. Prayers.  Hoping some sunshine peeks through those dark clouds!

Sending positive thoughts and energy your way. We are all here for you!
