I figured it was God's way of pushing me to get the words written before I got online. :)<br /><br />Mary, I have the older model mini. I found it for $69 at an outlet store and snatched it up. I didn't like the watery coffee I had at first (with the first box of K-cups I bought). So I went online and ordered the boldest, darkest roasts I could find. I'm finally happy. So I think maybe the problem isn't with the machine as much as which coffees to choose.<br /><br />I do have to say I'm so excited to be able to get Starbucks beans soon in K-cups. I think that could have been my problem all along. Theirs are about the only beans I've ever liked (even in my Mr. Coffee).Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-56827044134506197622011-12-13T09:11:12.856-05:002011-12-13T09:11:12.856-05:00Mary, I'm glad you have Ruthy and Missy to hel...Mary, I'm glad you have Ruthy and Missy to help you out with the Keurig question. Coffee and I have an understanding. I drink tea, and the coffee leaves me alone.<br /><br />(taking time out for a big sip of Blackberry Pomegranate Green Tea)<br /><br />This stir fry sounds as easy and delicious. I need to go to Sam's soon, so I'll have to look for the veggies. I usually do something similar to Mary's method - but I love having a frozen veggie mix all ready and waiting.Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-65420793161045349352011-12-13T03:35:46.939-05:002011-12-13T03:35:46.939-05:00Mary.

Sam's has it with a selection of coffee for $127, I think. And at first, we had to get used to what kind of coffee we liked, and what setting. But once I experimented (Dave likes the extra bold coffees, I like the medium roasts on small or mid-size settings) then you have perfect coffee every time. The gal who gave us ours also gave us 4 boxes of coffee to try, so that was a good way of sorting through things. <br /><br />Hey, I like your fun, easy idea for cashew chicken. Thanks for sharing that! Stir-fry type cooking is fast and fun, and that just makes me smile, Mary! Awesome!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-37447137790184666182011-12-13T00:12:36.126-05:002011-12-13T00:12:36.126-05:00Looks delicious, Ruthy.

Mix in some chicken gravy base with water and soy sauce then lop on top of the rice (doesn't that sound elegant?) and sprinkle with cashews. I have the huge COSTCO jar of cashews so I sprinkle liberally with them.<br /><br /><br />Question for my cafe buddies. I think I'm asking Santa for a Keurig. We have the mini one at school and I am so NOT a fan of the watery coffee it produces. I'm told the bigger ones are much better. I know Ruthy and Missy rave about their Keurigs. Can you tell me what kind/style you have?<br /><br />Anyone else use them?<br /><br />I'm so sick of my burnt tasting coffee from my Mr. Coffee (that replaced my wonderful Braun).Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.com
