Re: Things You're Really Into
I did something cool with them today because we have them coming out of our ears. I chopped them up with some white onion and tomato and then mixed with some Mojo marinade and EVOO. Then I lined a bowl with white rice (ugh) then spinach on top of that and then plopped beans and this succulent gravy they made on top of the spinach, which wilted. Then I placed this "salsa" on top of everything and gave it to my husband.
I made shotglasses out of cukes once, so cute!

I'm loving some iced coffee in the hot weather!

Re: Things You're Really Into
Mongoose, you grow cukes? Have you tried to grow tomatoes down here?
I just finished enjoying my daily one cup of (hot) coffee. I'm obsessed with good coffee - I want to find the best. I need to get back to drinking tea in the afternoon.

Re: Things You're Really Into
Oh I actually don't grow cukes - I buy them super cheaply at this Farmer's Market on 4th St (Next to Evos). I over-bought last weekend because I thought I was going to make pickles but then did not make pickles.juliets wrote:Mongoose, you grow cukes? Have you tried to grow tomatoes down here?

Have you tried Kahwa coffee? I like it a lot but I think my favorite local coffee is Brew-D-Licious. They make a mean decaf and it's made without the formaldehyde that a lot of decaf is processed with (it's water processed instead). The caffeinated drinks are really good too; you should try it the next time you are in downtown St Pete. I also LOVE the coffee drinks at Felicitous over in Tampa. I also adore that they serve stuff in mason jars! I usually get the red velvet frappe.

Re: Things You're Really Into
I have been doing the home brew iced coffee, too. Just basic Caribou, with Coconut milk and raw sugar, iced just short of frozen, so HEAVEN 
Also Tangerine Zinger iced with honey. Squeee.

Re: Things You're Really Into
No, I'll have to try Kahwa Mongoose. I doubt I'll be in downtown St. Pete anytime soon but I will look into where those places in Tampa are. I used to get a non-fat latte every morning from Starbucks which is about a block from me when I worked, but since I'm not now we brew usually Starbucks mixed with something at home- lots cheaper.
I may have already mentioned this - I was telling someone recently - but it's now the time of year when I get obsessed with my Fantasy Football. I'm in a league at RM and one at HV. Should start one here! Also, we have season tickets to the Buccs and went to school at Alabama (no. 1 college team in the nation) so football is on at our house all weekend and Monday night. Are any of you obsessed with football or any other sport?

Re: Things You're Really Into
I love baseball the Red Sox in particular but the kids have over taken the TV so I don't watch nearly as much as I used to.

Hacking & repurposing furniture into things it was not originally designed to be. Or things not furniture into furniture.
