It’s that earthkwaken. The recipe is on this thread…right around the very end of August of 2021. It’s a coconut and pecan chocolate upside down cake that will rule your world.

Use Funcan Shines cake…it’s got puddin in the mix!! It’s amazing.

So I toasted some of the new sour dough with butter and made hot turkey sandwiches out of it. Hell Yes!

Boned out turkey on the pellet grill.
Yucatan Pork on the Pellet grill.
I thought I took a picture of Harrisa roasted sweet potatoes with honey-whipped ricotta and pomegranate but my hands were dirty.
My hands are getting too bad

bad to bone a turkey.

Seafood breakfast today. Cold turkey sandwich for supper. That carcass is picked clean

Sous Vide shrimp scampi They were tougher than expected but what do you expect with previously frozen shrimp? No fresh available.

Ps the zoodles were delicious made with olive oil and Cavender's spice.

Funny you should mention that. It was one of the best roasts in a while. I roast every 10 days or so. Most roasts are at their peak of flavor around day 5 to 8, some shorter some longer. Africans tend to like longer off-gassing times than softer more tropical grown beans. I usually roast a Brazil/Tropical and an African/African batch when I roast. That said you can buy fresh roasted beans in any large community as coffee is universal.

The grinder is by far the most important piece of equipment for a good coffee extraction. I recently bought a new one and it upped the quality of my cup a whole level. My previous grinder had worn or was never as good as this one? Once you grind the coffee beans you need to brew within 15 minutes. The sooner the better. The terpenes released in grinding dissipate rapidly. No matter the style you brew a good grinder is a must. My preferred cup is a double shot of Espresso. The problem with that is 2oz of espresso does not last through breakfast. Most of the time though I enjoy a Long Black, a double shot pulled over 2oz hot water for a 4oz beverage. When made like this the long black tastes like espresso. When you pour 2oz of hot water on top of a double shot of espresso you get an "Americano" that tastes like a strong cup of coffee. You may need to try the two styles side by side to see how striking the differences are.

Fresh ground coffee and a pour over style will give you a very good cup.

This is the grinder I bought. The quality of the grind is superb. I wish I had paid more and got the one with the built in scale for convenience.

So bottom line, if I want to get into some super denk coffee what should I get first? I remember you saying something a couple years ago about the importance of a great grinder…I stacked that up in me noggin and surprised a few folks with that little morsel. You just wouldn’t think that as a normal person who doesn’t have a clue about coffee besides Carmel Iced Cappucino Venti with extra squeezins pleazin thank you Hugh.

I guarantee 98% of the free world would say that the roasting or brewing is the most critical piece of gear. I personally would have said toasty roaster because I’ve had great coffee on campfires with percolators, and I got a Frenchie that also does a fine job of turning a daydream of naked African tribal warriors into a long black afternoon delight. Hahaha.

So can you buy fresh toasty online that gets custom roasted on the way out the door so it’s just getting ready when it arrives? That would seem like a good way to get your feet wet. I could see spending a half a grand on a nice grind and a new machine for makina. I have had a handful of coffee times that are on a different level from shmansy fancy pants eating houses…you might know this as a ristorante? Mhyes? I spend money because I’ve been told I can’t take it with me? Don’t tell me what I can and can’t do…that’s a good way to get a free knuckle sammich. For havina. Obviously. But I think there is wisdom in these very pointy words. If you carefully extract the meaning of those words, it makes sense. I’m gonna try and work on this a bit more….run some numbers, do some testing and see if I can figure out the exact meaning of that very easily misunderstood word stack. Till then, the verdict is out, but spending is more fun than havina. Unless you don’t havina. It’s complicated. I’ll report back with my findings so everyone can benefit from my excruciating research. Maybe it has something to do with aerodynamic loading? I think a good place to start would be to solve for X.

I need a nice bag of fruit. That’s a jolly idea. Mmmmm. Did y’all know there is a tree called A Sausage Tree? That’s a sure fire way to get a party started. Long Black has some competition. My money is on the plant. So if you brew the fruit from a sausage tree does it come out like Long Black? The logic is there, I ran the numbers. I know a kid who is a plant. Well, he is actually 42 years old, but he would get his ass smoked by that sausage tree. He can barely even remember where he lives, and I swear this kid has only had sex like 6 times, that’s why I call him a plant.

Okay, enough horsin about. What’s a good website for roasts of a nice city variety and what’s the best way for makin dark tasties?

On a side note, I almost bought a Mesa Boogie amp this morning…A very sick tube amplifiers called Mark Five:35 in rackmount form. It’s not the exact amp I want though, so I didn’t. I’m still on the fence though. I have never owned a Mesa amp, and the Mark Series is widely hailed as the greatest bunch of amps EVER. That is quite the statement, but they have a cult following and have been in production since the 70s, so they got something right. Gotta run some numbers. Back to you Janet. Ya bitch.
