With the imaginations on this thread...I don't think so! :eek: :eek: :eek:
We met for dinner and had a couple of beers and talked and laughed for 7 hours. All in all I'd say it went very well...and I was a very good girl.

AG, sounds like a good date!
Hmmm, 7 hrs?

bmo3 - Peets is nectar of the gods. It is what other coffees hope to be when they grow up. It is the ultimate in coffeedom. :cool:
Aside from burning the sweet 'taters, dinner was really good. I'll keep the recipe for Pork Tenderloin Diane in my favorites:
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch-thick slices
3/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Sprinkle pork with lemon pepper. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pork slices to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan; keep warm.
Add juice and remaining ingredients to pan; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Return pork to pan; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated, turning to coat.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces)

I'm eating my dinner (rice spaghetti) out of the SAUCEPAN because it fits on my lap while I sit at the computer!
Thank goodness neither SKnot nor my beloved are here to witness this. Only the dog, and all *he's* thinking is, "do I get to lick out the pan when she's done? Huh? Do I? Huh?" <wag, wag, hopeful brown-eyed gaze>
well, your beloved is going to see THIS and with her imagination it will seem even worse. What were you thinking? you think the TE TD's can keep this kind of secret?Quote:

Edited to add: I want this
Indo-Pacific - Three Pound Sampler
Explore the Indo-Pacific island regions with flavors ranging from woodsy to nutty and earthy. Characterized by heavy body and smooth acidity, this sampler comes with a pound each of Sumatra, New Guinea and Sulawesi-Kalosi.
Sumatra: This is the classic Indonesian coffee. Very full bodied with concentrated flavor, Sumatra is also sweet, and slightly earthy, with a gutsy richness.
New Guinea: A mild, mellow yet aromatically complex coffee. New Guinea's good body, moderate acidity and broad flavor make it one of the best coffees in the world.
Sulawesi-Kalosi: A rare coffee with unusual depth and complexity. Sulawesi-Kalosi has a multi-dimensional aromatic character with prominent herbal, nutty, and pleasantly sweet woodsy notes.
I am so enjoying this thread tonight. Thank you ladies!!! One more alcoholic libation and then some profound prose. :p
Knot - the visual that invokes. :rolleyes: *Ahem* Don't worry about it hon, I'm sure Trek would have no problem helping you eat dinner out of your lap. (yup, I said it. :eek: )
AG called me with the details today. So, who wants to know what really happened?? (I accept chocolate as payment as I do not like coffee. Yup, I said that too. bite me. :D)
BMo3 - I'm still hysterically laughing about you-know-whut here. I'm trying to be good but it's so hard sometimes. HELP!!! hehe. omg... (Learn to be still X.)
Kit! Where are you, Kit? Oh, there you are, in your new home. Ok, wipe that sh*t eatin' grin off yer face and come play. (congrats hon!! ;))
Well, BMo3 is IM'ing me and shaking her finger profusely. I guess I better stop now. **lower lip sticking out, chin quivering** (did ya see, I still got it in there. hehe.)
Hey X, we are still eating those Wilbur buds. We ate them all the way to Seaside and then in our motel room, and there are still more.
They are great. No, not as good as the pedigreed chocolates that we just discussed, but good in their own wholesome way.
Thank you
Yeah, I like them. Of course, I can't compare cuz no one's ever sent ME any chocolates... :rolleyes:Quote:
