Bobservations

Last week our espresso machine frothed its last milk, and while we await the arrival of her replacement, we have been using a French Press for morning caffeine.

Carlos makes the coffee, which requires him to, and this might be difficult, put water in a pan, put said pan on stove, cover said pan, turn on burner, wait for water to boil, pour water into French Press, let coffee steep.

Well, one morning there was half a French Press of coffee because Carlos hadn’t filled it up, and this morning it happened again. I suggested that, with his eyesight, he put the water in the French Press first and then pour that into the pan and boil it. That way the right amount of water is boiled, and this is what he said:

“I thought I filled it up all the way. I boiled the water and when I was pouring it, I heard it go ‘glub glub glub’ and so I stopped because I thought it was full.”

Glub … Glub … Glub. That could have been Consuelo hair balling in the next room.

Once again, I shamefully admit that I was born in Mississippi, but also offer up the fact that I left when I was six-months-old before the state had a chance to ‘groom’ me into racism and ignorance.

Wisconsin Representative Tom Tiffany just Tweeted out that Joe Biden came after your guns, and then came after your Free Speech, and now he’s coming for your gas stoves.

I wish Joe had actually come for this asshat’s ability to run for Congress since he’s an ignorant lying POS.

To paraphrase on of my favorite Seinfeld episodes, “These cakes are real, and they're spectacular.”

Most Arizona voters disapprove of Senator-For-Now Kyrsten Sinema for leaving the Democratic party so much so that no party, Democrat, Republican, or Independent, have a favorable opinion of her.

Some 50% of Arizonan Republicans disapprove of Sinema, and 59% of Democrats don't like her and 48% are Team Anyone Else.

,Good luck on the reelection bid, wingnut.

I was at the grocery store the other day, and as I grabbed a few potatoes, standing at the back of my cart, this elderly woman reached in front of me, took my cart by the handle, and shoved it out of her way. I said:

“You could have said ‘Excuse me,’ and I would have made room for you to pass.”

“I didn’t see you so I took care of it myself.”

I wanted to tell her to get her eyes checked, but I also wanted to shove her raggedy ass into one of beer coolers, but instead I said no more and walked away. But then, as luck would have it, when we were checking out, she showed up in the same line behind me, with her basket, and said, oh so sweetly:

“Would you mind if I went ahead? I’ve just got a few things.”

I smiled and said:

“Why ask? Why not just shove my cart out of the way.”

I didn’t let her ahead of me.

Those of you who think Prince Harry speaking out about press abuse & family gaslighting by telling his own story while senior royals removed his and Meghan’s security detail, and yet have no issue whatsoever with those same royals allowing Prince Andrew to not only keep his security, but to pay £12 million to a sex trafficking victim 'he never met' is the REAL outrage. 

Last week in my Fashion Roundup for the Golden Globes I trashed Heidi Klum for her, ahem, lack of fashion choices, but one woman, artist Angelica Hicks, did me one better by recreating Heidi’s sequined and feathered dress using nothing but aluminum foil and a sanitary pad painted with purple eyeshadow.

Nailed it. Heidi should have worn Tin Foil and Tampons.

I don’t know much about David Boas, other than he’s a model and has some pretty fabulous hair and likes wearing as little clothing as possible. But the real question is, Would You Hit It?

  1. I use a Cuisinart grinder / coffee maker combo, works well. That Sinema thing's hoot. Everyone in Arizona knows Sinema is only loyal to herself. I understand loser Kari Lake's planning on running for Sinema's seat. David needs to cut that long hair.

    1. You don't like long hair, do you? =)

  2. Yeah, I'd hit it! I love his hair, and also the cakes on the other guy. Oo la la. How could Joe Biden come after our guns? Obama already sent his jackbooted thugs to take them. Yet somehow we still have shootings -- all the time.

    Love,
    Janie

  3. God I love you and Carlos. You are probably the perfect couple, of course after my Robert and me. And would I hit it...do you even have to ask?

  4. Please do a post about your new espresso pot when you get it. Recommendations? I have a cheap Mr.Coffee espresso machine which I never use because it is more trouble than it's worth. We have a 5 cup automatic drip pot that is programmed to come on at 4:30am (provided one puts water and coffee in the pot the night before). Makes 2 full large mugs. We also have very limited counter space and only two electrical outlets.
    At my age, the only one I'm hitting is the hubby. Some of the models/porn stars may be nice to look at, but I don't think I'd exchange pleasantries let alone "hit" one.

    1. We had a DeLohnghi which we liked but are thinking of getting a more powerful one, for roughly $200.00. We use the coffee maker to brew tea for iced tea.
      Sometimes the pretty ones should be seen and not heard???

    1. I think it's HIGH-alrious that that woman saw Klum's dress and thought, "I can make that with foil and tampons."

  6. Petty Betty? Come sit by me. I would have done THE SAME. And you exercised GREAT restraint with that entitled cow. And could I have some of that cake, please and thank you.
    I just can't with the gas stoves and the apples and oranges and the grooming and the bullshit from the conservatives. Could I bitch slap them all into next week?
    And I don't drink coffee but I think that the whole French Press thing is sooooo cool! I would recommend that Carlos puts his finger in the pan to see if the water is getting to the brim, but I know better.

    XOXO

    1. I do think I handled it right; I could have shoved her to the ground.
      Cake is good for you, eh?
      Bitch slap away.
      We do like the French Press as a back up, or a quick coffee maker, but we love a Cafe con Leche with breakfast and for that I need my Cuban Coffee and Frothy Milk.

  7. The "royal" family of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha" is totally effed up and not fit for purpose (if they ever had a purpose). They should be removed and NOT replaced. Randy Andy needs to be locked away in a nut house (non-PC for loony bin) while Kate and Willie should be encouraged to eat sweeties to remove those sour looks from their faces. And lets not talk about tampons, fag ash Lil and Chaz.

    2. Now Bob own up, when did I ever give you the impression I was a royalist?

    We use a french press - a size that makes
    one coffee at a time. We heat the water in
    the microwave. Aren't we exciting??!

  9. All he has to do is “put water in a pan, put said pan on stove, cover said pan, turn on burner, wait for water to boil, pour water into French Press, let coffee steep”? Are you nuts? You'd never get ME to do that much cooking.

    Alabama and Mississippi... Was talking about those two states and Kentucky yesterday with my friend from Germany. She actually lived there during her marriage in the '90s.

    Grocery store: Karma's a bitch... and sometimes you don’t even have to wait.

    Didn't you know? Klum's outfit WAS made from aluminum foil and a sanitary pad.

    David Boas? Oh, why the hell not? I've got nothing better to do right now.

    1. Clearly I forgot my audience!!!!
      Carlos was slightly embarrassed by my lack of kindness until I told him that if I'd let her ahead of me, I'd have to run her over in the parking lot!
      Heidi's outfit was that atrocious!
      David has time to spare ....

  10. I can't believe that anyone would think King and Lee go together. I can't stomach that people even celebrate Lee, WTH. I love my 30 year old Krups with a regular and espresso coffee side. However, I did have to invest in a separate frother since the one attached to the machine wasn't making my milk hot enough. I will be sad when I eventually need to replace her; she's a friend who has seen me through many rough mornings.

    1. Alabama and Mississippi, sad to say.
      We had a DeLonghi espresso machine and it suited us well, but we're going to upgrade a bit on the new one.

  11. Tom Tiffany? Is that his drag name?

    We use a French press here in the UK, but we also have that high-voltage electric kettle that boils the water in a minute or so. I can't imagine having to do it on the stove with American voltage. I'd be asleep on my feet before the coffee was ready.

    I would say something snarky about Petty Betty but my great-grandmother used to behave that way in a grocery store. She used to butt in line all the time. I think she felt she'd reached an age when the world owed it to her. (She was "only" in her late 70s!)

    Re. David Boas, I am just not into long hair on a man. It's never worked for me.

    1. We I first Googles him to get a photo, it Googled Tom Tiffany Trump. Oy!
      We are the heathens with a gas stove so the water heats relatively quickly, but I do miss the foamed milk of an espresso machine.
      I think this woman thought she had a right to be, ahem, that way, but then she was all sweetness at the checkout. No, ma'am, Not today.
      I like a good head of hair, long or short, as long as the cut is nice and it's clean; of course, I had very long hair back in the day.

  13. Oh I swear by our French press or a Melita coffee pot. They make so much better coffee than Keurigs. Coffee is not meant to be brewed fast. But I think the option you had sounds lovely

    So glad Kristen cooked her goose. Now if we can get her and Joe Mansion now that would be lovely.

    And I am loving those cakes sticking out of those jeans.. **licks lips*

    1. We would never get a Keurig; we like a good old espresso machine and a foamer for the steamed milk. But the French Press works in a pinch.
      Those cakes are spectacular!
