[XNASA]

7. .....

[johnnie]

3. Eyeballs

And feta cheese and bacon on pizza.

[XNASA]

6. That's disgusting.

An eyeball pizza does not sound very appetizing at all. Not at all.

[johnnie]

9. But

They're juicy

[mikeytherat]

4. Whiskers on kittens, sweet puppy breath, strong black coffee

[XNASA]

8. Seems a shame we can't combine them all into one somehow.

[tjwmason]

11. Strong black coffee makes it possible to live life.

Me before coffee in the morning ---> :hangover:

12. Orgasms

Hey, someone needed to point out the obvious. :hi:

[XNASA]

14. Even better than sweetcorn in August?

Are you sure?

[CornField]

17. LMAO!

I guess that depends on what you're doing with the sweet corn.

[XNASA]

24. Corn has many uses.

It's all the rage these days.

[madinmaryland]

18. This is better than sweetcorn in august...

[WCGreen]

13. Comfy Pants

[Deep13]

15. Crushing your enemies, seeing them driven before you ...

...and hearing the lamentation of the women.

[StopTheMorans]

16. .

:thumbsup:

[XNASA]

19. I'm sorry. That's still not as rewarding as Mexican Coca-Cola.

Really. The stuff is that good.

[Heidi]

23. I absolutely agree.

Swiss and Italian Coca-Cola are dang good, too. But you can only get Coke in a glass bottle in little off-the-beaten-path restaurants here. When I find one of those restaurants, I always buy a _bunch_ of Coke in a glass bottle. :thumbsup:

[northzax]

20. duct tape.

[Spider Jerusalem]

21. Turkish cigarettes and Cuban coffee.

[Heidi]

25. I _love_ Cuban coffee!

I was introduced to it by my sister who lives in Key West. Have you ever made it yourself? Does it have chicory in it?

[Spider Jerusalem]

34. I make it myself, yes..

In an espresso machine. I use Cuban coffee that I buy at the international market here in Atlanta...the brand is Cafe Bustelo...very dark-roast, espresso-grind. No chicory, as far as I know.

The trick is to fill the pot up to the steam line with sugar, and switch it off as soon as the sugar is completely moistened...then stir vigorously so that you have a thick, foamy paste. Then finish the pot (mine produces 4 demitasse cups of espresso) and stir again...it comes out sweet, thick, and syrupy, and the sugar foam makes a lovely light-brown crema on the surface.

[Heidi]

37. OK, that's it. I'm buying an espresso machine next week.

Call Me Wesley and I received a beautiful stainless-steel Nespresso machine as a wedding gift, but it only takes these very expensive little Nespresso coffee thingies, so we haven't used it in a long while. I'd like the freedom to be able to use specialty coffee! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the recipe, Spider Jerusalem!

[Spider Jerusalem]

40. I use a Krups.

About like this one (found an online seller in Switzerland, or at least using a .ch TLD, which should be a bit easier for you if you decide on something like this).

http://shop.mwf.ch/modules.php?name=Amazon&asin=B00004SPCW

Price on this model seems to range between about 60-75 euro.

[Heidi]

41. I swear by Krups products.

My first coffee bean grinder was a Krups, and though it's in the custody of my ex-husband, I bet it's still working. Krups products are easy to find here, too.

I'll check to see whether I can get a stainless steel Krups espresso machine. (We're trying to gradually replacing all of our kitchen stuff with stainless.)

Thank you, Spider Jerusalem. :yourock:

[Spider Jerusalem]

53. You're welcome...

and...the only stainless model I saw was the XP9000 (which is the top of their range, and will set you back around 1500 Swiss francs).

[Heidi]

54. Maybe I won't get it _next_ week,

but Call Me Wesley has a birthday in April. I'll just tell his mother that what he _really_ wants is the Krups XP9000. :evilgrin:

[yellowdogintexas]

55. myKrups is similar, but is probably an earlier model. since i

got it at Ross Dress for Less for $29.00.

I love it.

Looking at the Cuban Coffe recipe, makes me think I could do Turkish coffee in it too.

I love making Cappucino on the weekends when I have time to enjoy it

[StopTheMorans]

22. ATM machines that make you take your card back before they dispense

your money, rather than letting you walk away drunk with your money and no card :grr:

[XNASA]

27. Now we're talking 'wonder stuff'.

That sounds like some kind of impossible dream.

[StopTheMorans]

30. I, too, would have thought so only last week.

but yesterday, on a mission to find money to pay a guitar tech to fix the intonation on my guitar, I came across one in SE Portland; sometimes this life really is too beautiful to take :cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. The ONLY thing: LOVE......N/T

[Deep13]

28. Would you like a glass of maple syrup with that?

:eyes:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. Don't you roll your eyes at me! Sheesh........

And NO, I would NOT like a glass of maple syrup with my love! :mad:

[XNASA]

29. Oh yeah. We all have a good idea of what you mean when you say...

'Love'.

My god woman, you're insatiable.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. You sound like my husband!

He should be grateful, for cryin' out loud! And I do NOT either mean what you're implying!

MEN.....can't live with them.....can't live without them! :mad:

[meegbear]

31. SEX ...

hey, somebody had to say it.

[bluethruandthru]

33. Cats!

and dogs are nice too!

[Idylle Moon Dancer]

36. Music

Jeez, get with the program ;)

[JackBeck]

38. That perfect spot on a blanket that your feet find.

Unfortunately, it usually happens right before you have to get up, but it feels so good, nonetheless.

[LSK]

39. a sunny summer day

Go out in the sun, sit back and close your eyes and ahhhhhh, so relaxing!

[stellanoir]

42. seeing XNASA's posts on a regular basis

busy week in the heavens, new red spot on Jupiter, solar minimum (temporary cessation of sunspot activity,) another probe to Mars, and water discovered on one of Saturn's moon


NASA Science News for March 9, 2006

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has found evidence of liquid water reservoirs that erupt in Yellowstone-like geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus.

FULL STORY at

http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/09mar_enceladus.htm?list135591

Interesting mythologically as Enceladus was Gaia's child slain by the daughter of Zeus's (Jupiter's) brain.

Saturn represents the patriarchy and to find geysers on one of it's Moons slain by Pallas Athena suggests droves symbolically.

Oh and lots of other stuff inspires me as well. It's too infinite to mention. I might blow the bandwidth.

[XNASA]

43. You really ought to get out more.

:pals:

[stellanoir]
