The 5 Cup Coffee Maker

I hope you guys are having a good morning. (I don't want to complain but I'm ever so slightly annoyed)

Who knew it was SO hard to purchase a 5 cup coffee maker!!!! I had one caught it on sale at Walmart at the beginning of the month. (Which was a God send because they are not so easy to find. I had been looking for over a year!) Some little person (she whom shall not be named...The Lil Chef) poured her already made tea (agave, honey, lemon juice, and ACV already in it) through it to heat it up the other morning (but needless to say that caused some problems.) I was able to "clean" it but as I continued to run the water through it there were small black particles in it (I ran the water through it aprox. 10 times. & with the vinegar)
I'm still within my 90 days so I take it back to Walmart...to EXCHANGE it. Of course there are NONE on the shelf. The previous night I put one in my online cart, just in case. I was given a refund and I started to leave but I had an idea; I decided to order the same coffee maker online while I was still in the store. Low and behold it says the coffee maker was ready for pick up that day (which was yesterday), I let customer service know they weren't too much help, I went to the pick up area. The young lady in the pick up dept. went above and beyond and I was very grateful...BUT no, there were none in the store despite what the computer said. I wake up this  morning to a cancellation from walmart for my coffee maker. What did I do? I ordered another online and scheduled to pick it up from another near by Walmart. The status says "Processing" just like the other, says it'll be available for pick up "today" just like the other. Now, we wait!.....
(The caveat... I'm not trying to pay a billion $ for a tiny machine, this one is/was $8.74, $9.33 w/tax. I'm happy with that price!)

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

By
Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streus...

Johnny Mango's Shrimp Fried Rice with Fiery Lime Sauce

By
Backstory: My friend introduced me to this AMAZING fried rice about 6yrs ago. She asked did I want "fried rice" (I'm thinking "traditional" fried rice) OH NO! I tasted this and my taste buds went crazy!!! I had her bring it as often as I could. Unfortunately I have never been to Johnny Mango (near Downtown Cleveland) myself. I have been craving this for about 6yrs and I am SOOOOO HAPPY that there is a recipe! I do still want to go to   Johnny Mango World Cafe & Bar but until then I will try to recreate it myself.

Authentic 1-Day Ethiopian Injera: Gluten-Free 100% Teff Flatbread

By
I really really hope that I can make this recipe work! I received some teff flour from the food pantry and I had NO idea what to do with it. I am so happy I found this recipe! Makes:  4-6 Injera Time:  1 day to ferment, about 30 minutes to cook Tools: Large glass bowl Cheesecloth, muslin or kitchen towel with a thin weave Parchment paper Ingredients: Try to buy everything organic.   Here’s why . 1 1/2 cups teff flour 2 cups pure water 1/2 tsp baking powder Coconut oil for pan 1/4 tsp salt, or more to taste Let’s get started. Place Teff flour in a large glass bowl, add water and stir well. Cover with a cheesecloth or towel and place on the counter and let it sit for 1 day/24hrs. Do not agitate or stir the batter, just leave it be. After 24 hours, you’ll see that your batter is alive and fermenting. Every batch I made looked a bit different, some were brain-like (below) and some were less puffy. Bring a pan to medium heat, and very lightly, coat ...
