Coffee filters

Whenever I run out of coffee filters, I make my own. It isn't hard. In case you ever want to make your own - or just because you want save a couple of dollars - you can do it like this: take a couple of paper napkins and open them out completely, one on top of the other. Then insert them in the filter holder (receptacle) in your coffeemaker. You can trim the napkins if they are too large.  Put the coffee in. Fold the napkins over the ground coffee. Close the lid and the rest is the same process you normally use to brew coffee. The coffee will taste the same. I know mine does. Of course, this assumes you have not run out of paper napkins. I would not recommend using newspaper paper for this. 

Fish and chips

This blog gets almost zero views. I must be one of the few who read it - when I proofread it that is. It does not matter - I'm no Ernest Hemingway or Leo Tolstoy. In any case, I'm writing this to let you know my favorite chicken is prepared at Long John Silver's restaurants. It is simply amazing and SO affordable. My favorite fish sandwich is at McDonald's. Coffee too. 

Fragrance

I bought a small bottle of fragrance oil at Wal-Mart the other day. It's made by Elegant Expressions - that's the brand. When I got home and put it in the warmer, I also started a pot of coffee, but just by pure chance. The fragrance I purchased is called Lavender Vanilla. The aroma that resulted from the combination of brewing coffee and this particular fragrance oil was absolutely, astonishingly, unbelievably adorable - to die for. Try it and see. You won't believe your nose. 

Best Coffee

I believe McDonald's now has the best coffee in the world - at least coffee that you buy in a fast food establishment. It is better than Starbucks and Luby's coffee. Luby's used to be my favorite but the quality has dropped considerably since about ten years ago. Don't ask me why because I really don't know. This does not matter to people who don't drink coffee but for those of you who do, ...well, consider it my opinion. I have been a coffeeholic for about thirty years. By the way, Village Inn has the most atrocious coffee around.

Coffee 2

From a Yahoo News story: “Folgers, Maxwell House, and Starbucks are America's best-selling ground coffees. but all three were iced by Eight O'Clock Colombian coffee in our taste tests. As for Starbucks, it didn't even place among the top regular coffees and trailed among decafs.” This deal is from Consumer Reports. Who are they? As far as I’m concerned, Starbucks is the best, followed closely by Mickey D’s. I might not know anything about coffee, but I know what I like.
