We drink really strong coffee here as well, that's why I asked what you liked. I drink a Italian dark roast myself. Also wouldn't want to waste space with something you don't need when I can send something you want. So don't be shy, it's like a christmas list, you might not get everything you ask for, but everything you get will be something you want.

French bread and italian coffee new orleans sounds like my place to be! Edwin says he likes green tea lol

Lol no I didn't, but I do like green tea. That's probably not too healthy to make into a habit, though, is it? I can't enjoy it unless it has three spoonfuls of sugar!

Made a huge crock full of chili this morning...and a crock of beans on the side. Corn bread, onion, cheese, butter and honey.

I'll be there in an hour!

Back out west at Safeway (Oh how I miss Safeway), they have a ton of their own brands that are actually really good. Safeway's peach salsa is awesome! and I could see putting that on pork! I used to use it with chicken and cheddar cheese.

Mmmmm......

Oooh safeway has the best french bread! Peach salsa sounds good.

My mom gives it to us - she makes it homemade and it's really, really good!

Yes, I was going to say that my recollection of coffee in New Orleans was that you could stand your spoon up in it because it was so strong. I think it would go over well in Puerto Rico. My Puerto Rican students that have coffee make it really strong. I'd be up for a week .

Are you getting any new students yet from pr? There are a lot heading your way.

DD says Ursuline NOLA does not have any PR students they are hosting that she is aware of. I am surprised!

this is my personal recipe for french bread


French bread

Ingredients

• 6 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 1 tablespoon cornmeal
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Stir in 2 cups warm water, and beat until well blended using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
2. On a lightly floured surface, knead in enough flour to make a stiff dough that is smooth and elastic. Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes total. Shape into a ball. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn once. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
3. Punch dough down, and divide in half. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover, and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each half into large rectangle. Roll up, starting from a long side. Moisten edge with water and seal. Taper ends.
4. Grease a large baking sheet. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Place loaves, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water, and brush on. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until nearly doubled, 35 to 40 minutes.
5. With a very sharp knife, make 3 or 4 diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep across top of each loaf. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 20 minutes. Brush again with egg white mixture. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until bread tests done. If necessary, cover loosely with foil to prevent over browning. Remove from baking sheet, and cool on a wire rack.

I use my dutch oven to bake it come out beautiful I use parchment paper
