This is basically cowboy coffee which is filtered after it has been brewed for 5 minutes.

For tall and grande size, I use 2 T ground coffee beans, for venti or stronger coffee some people will prefer 3 T. Add ground coffee and cover for 5 minutes. Pour through filter. I usually add raw honey and organic whole milk for the latte or café

From time to time my dad took an old globe from the shelf and gave it a good spin. He’d close his eyes and stop it with his finger. This was how we daydreamed about our next journey. I was nine years old when my family made a trip completely around the Northern Hemisphere from January to June 1976. It didn’t seem to make any difference in my education to be pulled out of the middle of the 4th grade. We packed some of our schoolbooks but never opened them. We were too busy le

Washington State, Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410 The Greenwater Lakes trail offers a variety of destinations, Greenwater Lakes, Lost Lakes, Echo Lake and Corral Pass. The hike/walk to each of the Greenwater Lakes is very kid-friendly and shady on a hot day. The hikes are longer and steeper past this point. On your way if you forgot anything, would like a snack or still need to get your National Forest Pass, stop by the Greenwater General Store. The trail follows

Thoughts from 55+ years of being responsible for my own packing Even when I was very young, the rule was you can only bring what you can carry. As a traveler, I’m constantly adjusting and sorting through my containers, cases, backpacks to find the best ones to support ease of accommodating my toiletries, clothes, jewelry, books/notebooks/computer/pillow. So, I can enjoy my trip without anything leaking or being too heavy/ awkward /bulky. I like to quickly sort through everyth

From https://www.recipetineats.com/coq-au-vin/ Notes: This recipe was authentic, lovely and worth the time. I used pearl onion, but chunks of onion would be just fine. Organic bone in chicken thighs. I made my own beef broth with beef spareribs (herbs, chopped celery and onion). I typically use King Arthur Organic All-Purpose Flour. I used the fresh herbs, and Ménage à Trois Pinot Noir. I use Le Marinier French Sea Salt Extra Fine https://geni.us/16z1L for all my seasoning. I

(makes 32 rolls or 16 if you make large croissant-size rolls) This recipe came from my mom’s 1950’s 7th grade Home-Economics class at Lake Junior High School in Denver.

I love using homeopathy for plants. One summer I saved one of my maple trees from some kind of extreme wilting (with an acute loss of 2/3 of it’s leaves). Initially, I treated with Carbo-veg 30C, several pellets dissolved in a one gallon container applied to the soil under the tree.
