It's pretty simple to figure out that they meant espresso beans.
Notbob just likes the anal action (he doesn't bob).

Although I'm normally partial to pork ribs, I think this would work even
better with beef ribs, maybe even with beef short ribs (which would
definitely fit into the slow cooker).

Why do you have to be vulgar to ask a simple question? I've noticed
this in a lot of the old timers here, this degeneration into anger or
vulgarity. Are you just getting old and bitter?

Likewise, I could ask, who are YOU to pass judgement on ME!? Have you
been annointed by some diety or almighty ruling body I've not been
made aware of? Since I know you haven't, why don't you climb down off
yer pompuous pious pedestal and join the rest of us normal ppl in RFC.
Sheesh!

As for the word "Hell" being a vulgarity, I think not. It's a
specific place, a place with a formal name. As such it's capitalized.
I'd think that the name of a place well known by the Christion
religion, who's name is uttered every Sunday by thousands of clergy is
pretty far from a vulgarity.

And yes, I'm a bitter old man. I embrace it. I revel in it. Gotta
problem with that? As a crusty ol' curmudgeon, I get frustrated by
ppl who should know ...BY NOW!!... that espresso is a coffee drink
created by a very specific and difficult brewing process. Like
regular coffee, it is a drink, a liquid, a beverage served in a
beverage container. It is not a nut or a seed or an herb or a ground
form thereof. It is not an instant powder, a type of chocolate, a
type of candy, a confection or a new Lady Gaga video!!

Besides, I didn't pass judement on anyone or call them names or get
all bitchy and judgmental, I jes asked a facetious question. If that
is entirely TOO MUCH for your delicate sensitivities, I suggest you
killfile me immediately, lest I cause you to instantly burst into
flame and perish in the unholy whatever the Hell it is yer so afraid
of.

Have a nice day.

BTW, got a good recipe for tabouli and dolmas? I wanna make them
after I get hummus down pat.

You actually stumped me for a bit with your reply. I was literally
scratching my head, thinking, "I thought her name was Ranee."

I don't think I passed judgment. I do wonder why people have stooped
so much in this group, and it's not just you. There are people I used
to enjoy reading who pepper just about every post with some sexual
innuendo or vulgar language or profanity. I'm not interested in that.
I don't see why it has to come up so frequently in a cooking group.
Yes, I know it's unmoderated, we're adults, blah, blah, blah, that
doesn't mean people can't just try to be courteous and nice.

What was wrong with saying: What's ground espresso? Or, Is that the
same thing as espresso powder?

Actually, it is a profanity if used outside of that title of a place
manner. But you're being specious.

Well, enjoy it, I guess.

Not afraid of, fed up. My killfile grows and grows in this group in
a way it didn't when I first started frequenting it some 16 years ago.
And not because of the trolls and spammers (though they go there too).
I'm just tired of people thinking that decency toward others, courtesy
and politeness are below them.

Thank you.

I won't give them to you until you call them by their rightful names.

Now who's being specious?

I have no idea what you native language is. Mahshi waraq? Dolmasi?
Never mind. I need your input like I need heartburn.

You must have missed it. Sorry about that. Ranée was duly elected head
honcho of the cabal (TINC) last week. Her wish is our command.

You didn't know that? Whoever fails to show up to the election meeting
*always* gets elected. Nobody wants to be head honcho.

That'll teach me to leave town when a meeting is scheduled.

I was teasing. I guess I should have used smileys.

Pretty good guess, actually. Waraq ounab. Grape leaves.
