    Just an espresso maker. Mine broke 3-wks ago... still can't find a good or working one. Already returned 2 broken ones.

    I think I'm gonna have to buy a Starbucks franchise instead.

    I can't take one more day of improper caffeine consumption.

    I've had better luck ordering these online directly from a manufacturer vs a store front. I just feel like the ones in the store are always broken. That being said, I did return a DeLonghi that I got as a gift directly to them after reaching out to them about broken machines. They replaced mine free of charge and I've not had a problem since.

    TY GGG. I have bought them online. I only shop online... for these types of small electronics, they don't carry many, if any, in stores, as most Americans are not espresso drinkers. But, I still have to venture out to return them at the UPS Store. Not a major inconvenience... still, it is... but I've been sans good espresso since the machine died a couple of weeks ago. My mood reflects such. I have to begin spending $ & time venturing out each day to SBucks for a morning double espresso... this ain't good.

    The current annoyance is this new one I returned gives me an Amazon credit, not a credit to my Visa... so I have to wait a few days for it to either become usable to purchase a 3rd Amazon machine or to call Customer Service in some Asian country to instead credit my CC. Went through this recently... wasted almost an hour. I'm annoyed. I'm under-espresso'd. And, I don't want to pay $300+ for a new machine (none of which have good online reviews), cuz the $50-150 range appliances aren't cutting it & I guess that's the next bump.

    Feel free to ignore me... I'm fairly espresso-lacking frustrated.

    apparently its good too

    "Upon taking the first bite, I was hooked. Half of the pint had disappeared by the time I looked up, and I have no regrets. The cheese powder combines with Van Leeuwen’s rich base, made with milk, cream, and sugar, to produce a buttery flavor that’s only slightly cheesy. It doesn’t exactly evoke a bowl of macaroni and cheese in terms of texture, thankfully, but the flavor is strikingly similar. It’s lightly funky, and more complex than the classic blue-box dinner. It’s one of those foods that’s so uniquely compelling that you’re going to be confused while eating it, but definitely won’t want to stop."

    Or, you could get this... I think it's made with 5-lbs of potatoes, 2 cantaloupes & 10 plums.

    To be fair, I've only eaten macaroni and cheese probably 2-3 times in my life. Im pretty sure that flavoured ice-cream wouldn't be on the top of my favourite flavours list 😆

    Are you gunna try it?

    i don't think its available anywhere in my area.

    but i mean come on...how hard can it be to make right? like i could just buy some vanilla ice cream and some mac n cheese and use the cheese powder and mix it in with the ice cream and i bet it tastes just like this fancy "Van Leeuwen's"

    A bit of high school nostalgia. My old yearbooks were dug up over the weekend.

    High school sucked, and even looking through the yearbook pages some 30 years later, I still gravitate to the people I wanted to notice me and the groups I wanted to be part of.

    I wish I could tell all those people who told me to stay cool, that in fact, I still am 😎

    The cool kids always are.

    I'll be over here, admiring from afar.

    In my mind I was but in reality, I was the shy, quiet girl sitting by herself during lunch because my friends had a different lunch hour. I had a girl and her friends come sit by me once because they felt sorry for me 🥲. True story. And even when I was around friends I was always the quiet one. Still am.

    Now I'm questioning my coolness 😩

    I’m ready to commit to starting another book.
    I just might be able to get back into the habit of reading a lot.
    I have a stack of new, unread books to choose from but they all are 3-4” thick!
    Geez…… either Stephen King, his son, Joe Hill or maybe Justin Cronin.
    This is why I can’t pay attention long enough to read, the books go on and on and on.
    I’ll close my eyes and just pick one.

    lol I was gonna say: it was started with the best of intentions 🙌🏿

    Yet even I avoided it after Page 1 😉

    I have boundaries for conversation and/or news topics that I don't cross very often. Keeps me (somewhat) sane 'n stable.

    I'm a compulsive reader but I also tend to gloss over conversations when they branch out into something that doesn't interest me.

    Gained a bunch of weight and decided to hop on MFP again. Had the random thought of wondering how many people have been on this app for 5+ years? Wonder if any of my old friends are still here. Anyway. Good to be back. Friends wanted.

    So, a mfp'er was in my dreams last night

    (settle back, pervs!)

    Scenario: I had 2 summer tires that were ok, and 2 winter tires that were ok - but this was somehow a problem...

    So I was putting gas into a loaner vehicle, but ended up I was putting the gas into (something other than the gas tank - idk even what? like the transmission or windshield wiper fluid container?? Is a transmission fluid container a thing? Something in the front of the vehicle anyhow)

    I noticed I might have forked up - and the (mfp'er) was there to say "it's ok - you probably just wasted a lot of money in gas, but your loaner vehicle will be ok"

    Worth the read, people - I know!
    Enjoy your moments!

    Peace Friendies!

    I told you everything will be ok 😃😉
