At first I couldn’t make out what kind of bird it was, but as it swooped low, I recognized by it’s markings; a peregrine falcon.

In the nineties, everyone was listening to grunge; today, everyone seems to tune into hip hop.

1. 4 cup drip coffee maker (walgreens) .00
2. 1 gallon crystal geyser water (food co) .00
3. 200 plain white filters (food co) .00
4. 1 Bruan coffee grinder (bed bath and…) .00
5. 1 bag STARBUCKS brand coffee .00
6. Borrow 2x STARBUCKS tall cups
00.. refrigerate the coffee after opening!
Place filter into basket, pour beans into the grinder lid 1/2 full, grind while shaking the grinder a little bit, empty the grinder lid into the filter basket, place the filter basket into the maker, then add the water, 4 cups.(1/2 lid makes 4 cups)…turn on the maker….brew, then turn the maker off, drink as soon as possible, after the coffee cools.
You’ll get un-hooked an a single bag lasts 2 months
this is the only way to duplicate the store coffee
add half n half to taste
astronomical savings!

Into fine powder or something more grainy? Does anyone time how long they run the grinder? I remember the character from "Black Hawk Down" saying "it’s all in the grind" and I want the secret to the grind.

Hi, I just got a coffee grinder and I was wondering if it can be used to make the grind for both espresso’s and coffee. I’m a coffee addict and drink about 1 litre of coffee a day…lol
Also, is it true that it’s cheaper to grind your own beans than buy the grind? Just wondering…
Thanks to all who answer!

What is the texture of a vanilla bean supposed to be?

By Stacey and has 2 comments.

I just bought my first vanilla bean. When I’ve seen them on TV cooking shows, they look like they’re sorta leathery. I’ve seen cooks run a knife down the pod and split it open to scrape some of the seeds out for a recipe. The one I bought is brittle and dry. No way could I cut it open. Is this vanilla bean O,K.? I would think it’s fine if I wanted to soak it in liquid (like Vodka) but I was hoping to use the seeds inside the pod. Is it possible or adviseable to reconsitute it some way? (Steam it or…??) Or could I grind it up in the coffee grinder, pod and all, and use that powder in a recipe? Now… I would have no idea how much to use in a recipe. Any help or ideas??
If the bean had been leathery like I imagined, how much of the scraped flecks would you use at once? I was hoping there would be enough in a bean for several recipes.
I paid for this dried out vanilla bean from a bulk type spice display. I saw some that looked better taken care of at the health food store for apiece. Is that an average price?
