So I think my first roast was a success, but I understand it's best to wait at least 12 hours to brew so the real test will be in the morning. (looks good though)

This is a 1000 W Stir Crazy so it's underpowered and I can't get past a medium roast with it. I only paid $7.99 at Goodwill so no great loss, I'll use it until I find a 1500 W or maybe just spring for a Behmor 1600 Roaster.

I had a long day so I'll just post photos of the process.Embarrassed

Anybody here cold brew their coffee? It tastes amazingly better than freshly brewed.

It's also cool to hear from anyone about their frugal approaches to meals and prep. I like to hear them at any rate.

I just got back from 4 days in San Diego and boy did I get tired of restaurant food. I brought along toasted almonds and dried apricots for breakfast, so only ate out for a late lunch/early dinner. Dinner tonight was a over sized bowl of steamed veggies and noodles.........lite on the salt. No place like home.Smiling

Ain't that the truth. Restaurant food gets really old, really fast.

The only meal I truly enjoyed was the Lotus Cafe http://www.lotuscafeandjuicebar.com/ and that was because it was just my mom and me. The next day the rest of the family showed up and it was fast food after that. YUCKBlink

No. We stayed close to the MCRD and the last day was spent at Sea World. Fish tacos does sound good.

I've never figured out if fish tacos are just hype, because I've never had any I liked.

Have you tried them blackened with cajun spice?

Nope. I doubt I'll ever make them at home. I only make fish at home occasionally.

That place at Stewart and Columbus had the best. They were marinated and were filets, not deep fried chunks.

They are not there anymore. Last ones I tried were not fried, they were from El Gallo on Oakdale. It was fresh fish (or frozen fresh) not fried.
