I could care less about the rides (except the Monorail - which would have been neat) and "skill" games. Even when I was a child during the last century the only ride I cared to squander my lawn-mowing and paper route money on was the Dodge-ems (Bumper Cars) or watching the motorcyclists riding the "Wall of Death". But tht was before I learned about centrifugal force and then understood the "gimmick" that let it works as an exhibit. 8<----- Coffee Break ----->8 DD> My parents had a Mary Dunbar percolator (but a gas stove).

Me, just RH> hot water and a tea bag, thank you. (G) Never tackled a French press. I've a Hamilton-Beach single cup coffee aker which uses either loose coffe or pods. And my 12 cup (5 of my big cups/mugs) Sears & Roebuck automatic drip unit. It's a Cuisinart under the Serious & Getback branding. It has an internal water filter, uses the conical coffee filters and I can set it to the start brewing on the built in timer. So at 04:00 the Yehudi wakes up and makes my coffee. Two was of making tea. Single cups - like you, I use a tea bag and hot (boiling or nearly so) water. For multiple cups - or for Iced Tea I use the Mary Dunbar/Jewel Tea tea pot that my grandmother had and an aluminum tea ball/infuser to hold loose tea leaves. A pixture of one very like it (except in stainless steel) is at https://tinyurl.com/TEA-BAWL My usual non-morning tea is Brown & Bigelow's "Constant Comment". Up until (and including) lunchtime my go-to is Twining's Breakfast Tea or Lipton if the market was out of Twinings. All straight up - like my coffee. No milk, no sugar, no sweetners.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Beef Tea Categories: Five, Beverages, Beef Yield: 2 Servings 8 oz Beef chuck; in 1/2" cubes 1/4 ts Salt 3 c Water Combine the beef, salt, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and let the water barely simmer for 20 minutes more, skimming off any scum that forms on the surface. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Pour the liquid and the pieces of beef into the jar or container, cover it tightly, and let the liquid steep (like tea, of course) in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. Strain the liquid either through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer and discard the beef. You'll be left with the tea. Serve hot. * Reserve the beef to add body to vegetable soup or to feed to a pet.
