Agree on the Black Silk.
That's how I take mine as well. Sometimes with a bit of sugar. Depends on the day. Their quality has been inconsistent the last few years. I should probably learn to read their milling/roasting dates.
Fresh, hot, and bottomless.

Honestly, I usually settle for drip, but have a lovely French press when I want a more "rounded" cup. My daughter...
...off the tuna for tataki. All the prep is finally done. I'm going to have a glass of sake to celebrate and go silent, so you don't listen to me *B!+__!ng* about my back for the rest of the evening. Counters are too low in the RV. Maybe roll sushi at the office desk, its too high - but has...
I've had oysters many times. Always VERY hungry. They are pretty much bottom of options for me. Eel at least, makes sense. Its just a different sort of "fish", and people had been smoking and eating fish for a long time.
Not so much a feast as a lot of options, so we don't need to cook as...
Success!!!
Tuna tataki, tuna rolls, Kalifornia roll, spicy Krab rolls, tuna & avocado roll, maybe tuna poke. Wish we could get sushi grade salmon and unagi (bar b q eel) without having to put in a massive order and getting it shipped.
[Yes, sale on tuna at the grocery store - a very good sale]
Back from the grocery, was going to roll some sushi. Out of tuna steaks. :(
Smoking some other tuna (already in the brine) to make smoked fish dip for bagels. Focaccia is on first rise for party bread (basically focaccia + cubes of smoked ham, pepperoni, cheese, other "stuff" [in this case...
I prefer it after it has a chance to round out/mellow a bit.
Also, last drawer is in, last pull out installed. :) We have a working kitchen and I have an office desk again. And the stain sort of matches what was on here before!
Still working on cabinets and drawers. Wife had change of plans. More cutting. This should be the end - we are out of places to put new storage. Still, needed to happen.
NOPE!
Its moved back up in the priority list, now that the floor is fixed. Installing/reinstalling a couple new cabinet doors and sliding drawers this AM, groceries later, really need to build a fire, now that we've had 2"+ of rain, then start work on it again tomorrow. I only have 160# of...
ADM is primarily in the commercial scale space, not backyards.
one might also recognize them by the name they used to be commonly called, ArcherDanielsMidlands.

Most of us don't use ADM feeds, and these mills will continue to operate under a new management/ownership structure - at least for now - but if you are in the area of their mills...
Had a propane leak, outside the camper. Its fixed. I have a dual tank setup, one of the regulator hoses is "persnickety". Next replacement, I'll go to a two stage regulator/single tank system and just move tanks. I can't find a reliable hose mfg whose fittings stay sealed at the tank...
I have a Culling Project. As part of that project, I do a lot of "feed things" I don't recommend for others, because the tradeoffs are worth it to me. I like to tell myself I know enough about feeding birds that I can weight those risks intelligently and make rational decisions in response. If I...
