Add either A, 3 parts whole milk for every 4 parts coffee + 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar, or B, just 1 tablespoon of sugar + 1 part caramel almond milk creamer + 1 part plain unsweetened almond milk to 1 part coffee. Whipped cream on top is for special occasions, such as having in your household any creature that required your attention between midnight and 6 AM. That is how to coffee. ☕ #yourewelcome High five, WH. Of course, I would swap out the caramel almond creamer for peppermint mocha creamer at Christmas time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are great books, though. Just an aside, but I so badly wanted to be the boy in My Side of the Mountain. Not the girl in the sequel, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be 11 when he reads it, if that helps. My Side of the Mountain was my brother's favorite book at about that age. I've read it and it is good.

ikslo Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I love coffee. I’ve been drinking it since I was 12. I used to drink it black, high-octane. Then I got pregnant, went off it for pregnancy and early months of nursing, and couldn’t stomach it without milk or cream thereafter. Just now able to drink it black again; DS is 13. I prefer it now with heavy cream, but the extra lbs that adds has me limiting my use of cream. Tea upsets my stomach. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have writing planned for today and some cooking because the refrigerator is pretty bare of leftovers. Hoping we can get what we need this week. If not, will make do with what we get. I have decided that June is going to be relaxing if it kills me. This month has been way too hectic. Remember the rules! 3 hours ago, myblessings4 said: Good morning 😊. ☕☕! It took me a long time to actually LIKE coffee, except when my granny would make it with mostly milk and sugar for me. But now I want it every morning. Two cups. However, I am now at half-caff. I just like the warm cup of something satisfying. And now I put bone broth in the first cup, so that protein helps me even more. The kids drink it, too, but not every morning, and none of us after the morning. We drink half-caff too. 3 hours ago, Susan in TN said: Thank you! ❤️ Got 'em packed. 2 coolers and 7 boxes of food ready to go. Now if everyone would stop pestering me I could banish the goat! Sigh.

It is used when you accomplish something and since we used to race to the top of the page getting the first post was considered an accomplishment and people would post Booya. AMJ began misspelling it around page 80 and many others followed suit.

PoisonHemlock Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Thank you both for the explanations. I love it when things make sense! Now that I know the full story, I can say that I am firmly in the Booya/h group. I think both spellings are excellent, so I will use both simultaneously! Ikslo, I am always on my phone, so I don't see signatures either. I'm not even sure if I have one, but it's probability wrong if I do. I homeschool my DS, and we're finishing up 5th grade in two weeks. I also live in my mom's house (no basement), but since my husband and I bought it three years ago, it's not hers anymore. 😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Dh is heading back down to his mom's tomorrow. She's in the hospital. CHF again with fluid retention. He can't visit in the hospital so he didn't rush down when she went in yesterday, but he wants to be there when she comes home. He can work at home from her house as easily as he can from home, so no biggie for work. It mainly just means I have to cook dinner while he's gone, which means I need to go to the grocery store. I don't think I've been in a grocery store since mid-March. It's going to be weird. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
