Welcome to Isle Bedamned, Mr. Factory. Did you go to Iowa to start a Maidrite restaurant? I hope not. |

I quit cooking as the Iowa state food is the Well done burger. I haven't had a Maidrite since Roseanne was #1 show.

Hey FC, welcome. Roasting coffee you say? How long you been doing that? What do you use? I got a Hottop 'B' and I been roasting for about a year now, give or take. What is your current roast fave? I've been mixing Hondo COE with some IMV and Bolilvian, to just a few snaps of second, it's been pretty drinkable. Mike |

I've been roasting for 3 years. I use a Whirley Pop popcorn popper, the one with the crank in the handle. I have trashed one already. Takes about 12 to 15 minutes a roast. I do like good coffee. I have some people at work that I do coffee for. We have French presses and a Burr grinder. As far as a favorite, there are too many to choose from, but we do like Sumatran.

I'd thank you, Evan, but I shopped ALL OVER for that helmet, and didn't get one compliment. Your gladiator sandals are very "now"! ;D Quite the fashionista, aren't you!! Hi FactoryChef! I'm fairly new here also but it doesn't take long before this bunch welcomes you as, what Johnne called "Home Folk".  The drummer friend with whom I get together each week to play music is also a chef! I'm often over there during the dinner hour and she can even make a salad seem like a gourmet meal! I'm not much of a one for the kitchen (thank God I have a husband who cooks!) but envy those who CAN cook yummy things. |

Welcome, Chef. If you actually eat garlic and like good coffee, then I guess we don't have to worry if we insult Iowa.
Waht does it say on the bottom of beer bottles in Iowa? Open other end.

So what do you look like? I was at IJam. This is me on the way back from Vinton, enjoying one of Iowa's finest delicacies. I'll let you guess what it is. Rumor has it I am sitting on the very same stool Hillary Clinton sat in. I tipped 31%.  |

P.S. I used to roast my own beans. I had a roaster that looked like an air popper for popcorn. Nothing beats truly fresh coffee, unless it's truly fresh beer.

Nice picture, John!!
As another relative "newbie" here it's fun for me to put faces to names. Those little tiny faces in Kate's Sgt. Pepper picture were a little hard to make out!!
We should start a "Here's my picture" thread!

I have to work tonight and will be taking a nice Costa Rican coffee and Oil And Garlic Angelhair Birdnest pasta with spicey breabcrumbs.This meal only takes 15 or 20 minutes to make. The garlic is a Creole variety and is one of the many types Mary and I grow. As I drive a forklift nobody will smell garlic on me as I don't have direct contact with anyone at work. I don't know why restaurants charge big money for this as it's simple to make.

Hi, FactoryChef. I too am an Iowan and attended Idiot Jam. Small world eh? You should drive around Vinton and see all the great chain saw sculptures a friend of ours named Brian Parr has made. Fiddlerina and I took pictures of a couple of them. I should put the pictures up on the forum somewhere. - Dub |
