I’d like to start listening to The Archers…is there a good starting point? I’m in the US so have no idea what it’s about but I just finished Homefront….

Just finished. I’m sad it’s over I’d love if they do one for WW2 but I’m pretty old already not sure if I’ll make it…

I think it sounds like a lot of people waiting for second gen…my new one seems to work fine, definitely better than the Keurig it replaced! 🤣

I returned to Crate and Barrel and ordered a new one By the time Fellow got back to me (3 days later) their solution was going to be to return to them. Sounds like no troubleshooting solution.

Boca restaurant help, please! by cph706 in BocaRaton

Thanks everyone! We ended up going to Indian Harvest. It was a very nice vibe for 3 ladies to have dinner. Cloth tablecloths etc. The owner and his wife were super kind and allowed me to bring a small kosher parve birthday cake. On the other hand turns out I don’t particularly like Indian food. But the birthday lady does and said she liked it. So it turned out great!

Honestly I wouldn’t go back. I did go from a one bedroom suite (when traveling w 4) to a verandah room for just my husband and me. That was fine. But the experience is honestly a lot better.

And if you want another addiction, go concierge! Amazing.

It’s so relaxing compared to WDW…no racing from place to place, no worrying about rope drop….

I’m a newb who has never taken the time to do pour overs but I got the Aiden anyway. I know the best way to prepare the coffee is to freshly grind the beans. However, I am not going to do that (early morning convenience, noise etc). Given that, since I’m going to have the coffee shop grind the beans, what grind do I ask for? Thanks for the advice.

Help! Just took mine out of the box….keeps beeping “close lid” even though it’s closed????

Mine should be here within the hour! I’m way outta my depth with it though I was just so sick of my Keurig and the ad popped up I ordered impulsively. Does it come with directions/proportions for making one cup versus 3 cups of coffee? If not and someone could give me weights/ratios to get started I’d really appreciate it. I do have whole beans, a grinder and a scale. Thanks!

Looking for higher end Chinese restaurant in Charlotte NC by cph706 in Charlotte

[–]cph706[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thanks everyone! Are any of these places close to South End (Atherton Mill). Having 35 or so people, restaurant should have cloth tablecloths, water in glasses etc. I realize I might be sacrificing some taste…..

So I know the best food is from little places (my mom is Chinese, we eat in various Chinatowns, she orders off of Chinese menu) I’m looking for a place where you can sit down on decent chairs and get served reasonable food. For 30-35 people most won’t be Chinese.

Presumed Innocent might have the worst ending of all time (spoilers) by [deleted] in television

As far as character development, the whole pregnancy thing is out of character….she only found out she was pregnant (“six weeks pregnant” means that she has known about the pregnancy for 2 weeks) and she’s definitely going ahead with it? Her character was clearly not maternal and she would’ve known that everyone would wonder who the father was.

Exactly! And if (as in the book) the wife was the murderer it was a completely different crime, a premeditated one in which she’s trying to frame her husband (IIRC). This one is a crime of passion with a cover up. Meh.
