Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Thanks Ana, I'm glad to know hagatha is alright. Meeting at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the new week and hug someone.

And I thought it was just Friday a few minutes ago!

Lex, I watched the coolest segment on 60 Minutes last night that was all about the Isle of Man! They featured the TT race, but showed a lot of your beautiful island and some of its history.

Ordered more Kenyan Special Reserve, but it's not here yet, so an extra pot of German Fair Trade coffee from Aldi is brewing!

Happy Monday!

Mornin Connie,

This Eagles you are going to it is a Legion? The reason I ask is there were Eagle Legions up in northern Indiana where I use to live. Every Friday most legions would have this "all you can eat" Walleye or Lake Perch along with a very nice salad bar. It cost $16 either way. It was some of the best eating on the planet. The slabs of fish were huge and the salad bar was out of this world. It's been 12 years since I have been back up there. I've been looking for an "all you can eat" walleye joint around here for some time now and have not found one. I'd settle for any kind of "all you can eat" fish fry from a legion or similiar establishment. They know how to do it. Walleye seems to be very scarce in Florida even to buy

I'm taking a danish by the way thank you very much!

Waiting on that dark roast coffee, can someone please wake soot up. For the time being I'll have some of Drac's German Fair Trade coffee, sounds great

Orion, the American Legion is a veteran's organization chartered by the US government back in 1919. We also have the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary chartered the same year and the Sons of the Legion. There is also a Riders of the American Legion, but it's not chartered by the government. I will let Connie fill you in on the Eagles, but it is a fraternal organization.

You'll have to put up with my less than stellar German Fair Trade coffee until I get some of that Kenyan Special Reserve ordered!

By the way, welcome to the GB Break Room!

Thank you Drac for the legion info and the welcome!

That Kenyan Special Reserve sounds very good. Where do you order coffee like this. Really getting tired of this Traders Joes 100% Aribica we have been buying. Its really hard to find good coffees, it's a trial and error thing for us always looking for something different/better

Good morning everyone. Orion, my grandpa used to make delicious fried lake perch. I never see lake perch anymore, only ocean perch. I don't think it's as good.

I hope you all have a nice week!

Will, doesn't that just dill your pickle. Woke up this morning, looked out the window to a snow storm. Gee it's not even halloween yet, so I decided to bake, I made empire cookies. I love the smell of baking in the house when the weather is bad.

My grandpa did the same oldbroad along with fresh caught Bluegill, one of the best fish I have ever eaten. Its been a long time but I can still taste it. I don't really like Ocean Perch, just not as good as Lake

I looked up Empire cookies, judith. They sound delicious!

I had to look the Empire cookies up also!

I used to make those regularly but in my area they were known as German Biscuits …. Delicious !! 😊

Add me to the list who had to look up Empire cookies! They look REALLY yummy and the perfect thing for a snow storm! Holy cow, SNOW!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Orion, the FOE is a a fraternal org. founded in 1898, for God, Home and Country. We are a charitable org. people helping people . The Aerie I belong to is the second smallest in Fl. We are small, but mighty. Lunch and Prime with a friend today. Bowling at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Just got my new order of the Kenyan Special Reserve, so I made an extra pot this morning. Orion, I get this coffee from Gevalia, a Swedish company. You can find them in an internet search. There are lots of others out there too that sell really good coffee - but, of course, it's always expensive!

Have to take one of my kitties, Miss M in to the vet this morning. I'm just going to drop her off as she appears to have another UTI and they will need to get urine using special litter. She also has a history of crystals in her urine, so she eats this REALLY expensive dry cat food!

Then a run down to the Ranch to deliver some horse meds and a stop at the grocery store for a few things I'm sending out to my two oldest grandkids in college in Colorado.

Good evening everyone ... hope your day was good to you and wishing everyone a quiet and relaxed evening.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Got that Kenyan Special Reserve coffee for everyone this morning!

Was able to bring my kitty, Miss M, home yesterday. I had feared she would need surgery for bladder stones. Her sister had them and we ended up humanely euthanizing her. She was just a barn cat, but I still miss her. My grandkids named her Voldemort! Miss M is full of antibiotics and pain meds and has crystals in her urine, so she's back on the special cat food... $48 for a 6 pound bag! The vet also did a laser treatment on her abdomen for the inflammation inside. So, $640 later, she's pretty much staying under my feet which is not like her at all.

Another much too warm and windy day, but I guess things are going downhill rapidly after tomorrow.

Happy Wednesday!

Yup snow: winter has arrived. My empire cookie recipe came from my grandmother, she brought a lot of wonderful recipes from Scotland.

Judith, not sure I'm ready for snow, but this too warm weather is just weird!

Good afternoon everyone. I brought a pot of Hawaiin Fruit Tea and bottled Fiji water for the Break Room. Connie, are there any cinnamon crunch bagels left? I miss the snow down here but don't tell L4L
Have a great evening everyone!

Thank you connie. Very nice organization, people helping people. I can only guess you are rather busy nowadays




Thank you Drac. I'll give it a look. Hope Miss M comes around and gets better. Now to check out those empire cookies


I am gonna be running around today looking for a new vehicle. Gotta get rid of that Nissan Rouge Sport for too many reasons. Hopefully Toyota, Hyundai, Ford or Honda will help to make that happen. This might take a couple days.....

Everyone have a good day

Good morning everyone. Dark roast Sumatra coffee with Scottish Breakfast tea and bottled Fiji water for the Break Room today.

Have a great Thursday

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Drac, it's warm here too right now. Soot, I miss the snow too. Orion, we are extra busy over the holidays, but it gives more meaning to them. Enjoy your day and hug someone.

It's a good thing soot stopped by early with that Sumatra coffee because I'm extra late this morning! Trying to help a friend find some place to take his walnuts for processing because it was in the middle of nowhere!

Nothing much going on today - just league bowling tonight.

Thursday is just one day closer to the weekend!
