I'd rather eat the pralines than the crack rocks.

Can't argue with that.. and I don't like either of them..

and ?

yes please!

Yum!!! Gotta load up on carbs and caffeine for my workout tomorrow night.

The caffeine in that will do it.

Yum!! I need you around at 5am when I am barely slithering out of bed...

I make very strong . Although, I drink more .

Thing is, I can only pour it through the modem once.

Beignets and would make a great breakfast, Evangeline!

I've had strong coffee before. My mother always made her strong. I suspect it was because she lost some taste buds over the years--probably from drinking too much strong coffee.

I used to eat at a Greek restaurant, where they served very thick coffee. I think someone called it Turkish coffee. Or maybe it weas espresso. It was good with baklava, which is the food of the gods as far as IU'm concerned.

I used to eat at this Lebanese place that had wonderful coffee! Thick sweet espresso that was roasted with cardamom pods... Yum!!!

I've heard of putting cardamom in coffee. I bet that was delicious!

Now I put it in a lot when I make it at home.. my favorite is what I call a gingerbread cafe con leche... you take a mix of spices (basically pie spice with a dash of cardamom) and sprinkle it over the grounds when making the coffee - or better yet espresso.. steam milk with some vanilla in it and yum!

My dad taught me how to make coffee. The type of that is so thick, it leaves a coating on the cup.

there was once a Roman general named Cardo.....who wants to go into battle against Carbo...

Wasn't General Carbo the one who drank so heavily he went into battle loaded? Hence Carbo-loading?

Oy vey!

So do tell... how do you make this yummy caffeinated goo of the gods?

which caffeinated goo stuff........*pulls out a Coke*

the honey-thick that E was referring to...

Alchemist, I'm trying to avoid unnecessary carbs.


One very old fashioned coffee pot.... boiling water, dark roast coffee (preferably Community* or French Market*). Drizzle the boiling water over the coffee allowing time for the water to seep through the grounds. Once you have enough liquid in the coffee pot, place the pot on a burner set on the lowest setting possible... usually, for about ten to twenty minutes.
