The campsite has grown. smiley - ok

Would you like some King Cake to go with that smiley - coffee?

smiley - smiley

Instead of coffeemakers my father used an old fashioned drip pot. He would boil water and drizzle it over the ground coffee. Then he would slowly heat it on the stove. That was really strong coffee.smiley - yikes It would stain the cup.smiley - silly

I brought a percolater to work for a while because I worked in the kitchen at the time. The coffee maker was in the cafe' area. My brother(store owner) came to work early one morning. I offered him coffee. He came back at noon and asked me what did I give him since he was zipping right through his paperwork.smiley - wow

Your brother sounds just like me when I KNOW I've got it 'just right' with a story or part thereof: smiley - blush I might forget to eat, sleep or carry out other basic functions, but my consumption of smiley - coffee goes smiley - yikes off the smiley - bleep chart . . .

When merchandise orders are due...and meetings with sales reps and accountants... my brother stalls everything else.

He is the only person I know who can stay awake drinking decaf coffeesmiley - laugh. He wasn't prepared for percolated. On the up side he got a lot done...

Dad taught me how to brew coffee as well as how to cook in cast iron.
It is Dad's younger brother who makes the seafood gumbo for the family Christmas Eve party.

I'll have some King smiley - cake. Is there any custard to go with it?
I've been in concentration mode before. Me and a friend got a new computer game just before x-mas, and stayed up until 5.30 playing it. It was only when Mum came down because she was getting up (Dad commutes) that we realized just how exhausted we were!smiley - yawn
Sometimes we really do have too much concentration for our own good.

Would you like the traditional King Cake with cream cheese and strawberry filling? Or the newer chocolate filled? Or some of each? Custard?smiley - erm is that pudding or ice cream? There is both so help yourself.

The King Cake is a Mardi Gras tradition. Hidden inside is a plastic or ceramic baby. The person who finds the baby in their piece has to bring the next cake(or throw the next party). Mardi Gras is early this year so we are trying to squeeze in all the fun we can.

smiley - biggrin

I have lost a lot of sleep over books that I could not put down: "Just one more chapter"....smiley - zzz

What game was so interesting?( I ask like this website doesn't lead to enough insomnia).smiley - winkeye

*picks up plate and cuts a large piece of the Kingsmiley - cake

The smiley - cake is like a coffee cake only filled with chocolate pudding mixed with cream cheese. The purple, green, and gold glaze is the colors of Mardi Gras.

Here you go, I hope you like it. smiley - smiley

*pours smiley - coffeerefills

*slices more Kingsmiley - cake places the platter of slices (with assorted fillings) onto the low table that is just the right height to comfortably eat from while sitting on the huge pillows.

There was this guy who used to work with us...he would come to work with two liter thermoses (the good kind with glass liners)full of coffee. He would drink the first then start working. When he started on the second he would begin brewing coffee to refill the thermoses. He brought a coffeemaker to work...smiley - sillysmiley - sillysmiley - weird<---that is pretty much how he looked, only with long hair.

I felt bad bringing my campfire percolator to work. He had me beat. My favorite coffee is one that is packaged locally. Community brand(dark roast). Not too fond of the chicory blend though.

The King smiley - cake tradition I have recieved is that they are baked for Epiphany, which is supposed to be when the Wise Men reached Jesus in Bethlehem, and is also the official end to the Christmas season. There would be one or more small figurines representing kings, and the person who found the king in their slice would be 'king for the day'.
When is Mardi Gras? You hear a lot about it, but not those kinf of things, like colours, etc. The only Mardi Gras that I know much about is the lesbian and gay festival that is held in London during the summer. Apparently there is a parade and a music festival which is seen as being the same sort of thing as Glastonbury, except without all the extra stuff.
