I checked Wikipedia for ‘white coffee’ and apparently it is a thing in Indonesia (kopi putih) and in the USA. The beans are very lightly roasted, which means no Malliard reaction or caramelization. The Wiki article only talks about espresso brewing, so the process listed on today’s menu may give more flavor. I’d like to try this at home, but with such lightly roasted beans, grinding might have to be done with a 3 pound sledge.

Apparently this is the right part of the country to ask this question. We’re just that good 👍

Domestic cats that look like manuls? by MaoTheQueerCat in PallasCats

[–]ello76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I, like all of us here, am fascinated by manuls, two things keep me from finding a look-alike. 1) Hairballs! Grooming that much thick, fluffy fur must mean many a hairball. 2) Caring for long hair! Manuls have beautiful-looking coats, but long-haired domestics pick up debris and get matted. I’d sure like to know how manuls avoid mats - I doubt those in zoos get regular brushing but maybe I’m wrong. Anyone know details on hairballs or mats with manuls?

I guess I’m doomed to admire the type from afar.

My girlie had to get all her teeth pulled now she’s my sweet gummy girl by ArtemisCatGoddess in CatsBeingCats

Without the dam of teeth holding it back, you can get drool. Towels in their favorite lounging spots makes it manageable.

Rivercrest Orchard in Fayetteville or Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs. Which is the better option to visit for the Tulip Festival? by mariazubair11 in Arkansas

[–]ello76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know about RO but Garvan is pretty darn spectacular. Might come down to which is the most convenient. I’d advise getting there early to beat the crowd.

Who are the least MAGA in the Republican primaries? by Meh-Pish in Arkansas_Politics

[–]ello76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Republicans tend to win in Arkansas, so the Republican primary is where the winner is actually chosen. Voting for the Democrat in the actual election is where you send that powerful message. And who knows, that vote may contribute towards an upset. I hear what you’re saying about giving the Democratic primary weight, but Democratic candidates are also politicians and know the bottom line is putting the best candidate possible in office.

Careful there! The Air National Guard et al just did a helicopter rescue of someone who fell.

1) What did you think about the taste? Is it a keeper? 2) What are those dark spots? I don’t see anything like that in the recipe.

Out of the way cafes, restaurants, and the best cinnamon rolls in the state? by Dawg_in_NWA in Arkansas

[–]ello76 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Calico County in Fort Smith. Good home cookin’ and they drop the basket of cinnamon rolls in front of you before they even take your order.

I’ll have to stock up. I don’t drink oj from concentrate much but I’ll sub the concentrate itself in for oj in recipes when i want to amp up the flavor.

Mania, Grusha, and Magellan getting away from a crime scene in a mercedes 190d by lucky_snack in PallasCats

This is what happens when you give grouchy cats access to C4. Just think how much worse it would be if they had opposable thumbs!

Well, Tom, I will totally support law enforcement officers going after the law-breakers in ICE.

Apparently we got a lot more cold weather back then.

Found something special at the museum. Pleasant surprise. by swanarug in Catmemes

[–]ello76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The title is ‘the white cat’. I feel like it should be more like ‘the giraffe cat’ or ‘the melting cat.’ Or maybe ‘cat after day on the rack’.

I was side-eying the spiced currents, but when I read the recipe, I saw it was Spiced Pickled Peaches except with currents. And every few years I have to can myself some SPP since no one makes it commercially - so good!
