I looked it up, Tim Horton locations are in MI, ME, CT, OH, PA, RI, MA and NY.

Did not know that unfortunately not here in SC all we have is Krispy Kreme not to crazy about

I'm going to regret asking but how many coffee gizmos does one need?

You do need to have a variety of kcups on hand at all times:

I thought they closed all of them down and they are out of the US? I never see Tim Hortons anymore.

So what will you be drinking after this weekend

I have three different Keurig machines, two different size French press pots, two different pour over makers with kettles and an old fashioned perculator too, so the answer to how many does one need. One.
Now how many would one like or want is a whole different thing.

Current collection 2 Keurigs, 1 french press, 2 pour overs and a percolator and a loose tea pot. He thinks he needs another contraption edit he has a pour over at work that's for his "good" coffee not the "swill" in the coffee area. He also transports water to work for making coffee

Do you ever make the Italian pickled eggplant? (I think we called it something like “aboubad” but can’t find anything like that word online lol. It was prized when Grandma made it once a year.

I make caponata maybe that's what you're thinking about

All that sounds like a good start to me.

I looked up their site. They have active locations supposedly.

We had one open in Indy for about a month with another under construction in Lawrence and all of a sudden, gone....

Related, but no.

Looks a lot like this, but that’s not what we called it. Great on sandwiches.

Could it be aubergines instead of aboubad?

I’m in Michigan and yes they do have locations here.

As dictated over the phone by Grandma, this has been on the side of the fridge for years, and I’ve never tried it.

May need to translate the writing, though lol.

I don’t think so, although I saw that while searching. And we from New Jersey tend to have our own unique pronunciations of things.

Well, they both started with an a, so that was my only guess.

Got my "smartphone" at age 70. I apparently was a late bloomer.

It is getting harder not have one and not be left out in the cold with technology. I am bringing this up due to my allergist. My allergist due to the coronavirus now is a virtual doctor only for people that have asthma and allergies. Virtual doctors are board certified doctors who choose to practice online via video and phone appointments with the patient needing an application. That means you need a computer or a smart phone in order to have a virtual doctor's visit with the video app.

Basically my allergists room in the building is only used for allergy shots and for office employees the allergist has.

I am saying it's difficult to try and re-enter any of the parks, if you were to come back later in the day.

The problem right now is WDW is having guests booking their theme park days by what theme park they want to go to. Disney right now is limited in how many guests are allowed in at a time at their parks. Basically when you leave, another person would be allowed in the park.

Actually that's not true. Cast Members confirmed that you can leave the park and come back on the same day with no problem. You have to go through temperature screenings and such again, but your reservation is for the whole day. You don't forfeit it to someone else by leaving early.

The problem seems to be with transportation. They don't have their full schedule of buses, etc running, so the waits for those are longer. You may be waiting on a bus for a long time both to leave and to get back, and with the shorter opening hours, it's recommended by most people to go for the full day if you can.

Thank you. I don't think it is the best one, but she got every gift she wanted. She wanted a whole bunch of books. She got a set of the second Percy Jackson books, the Gemma Doyle Series, Little Women, and a pasta roller.

Happy Birthday to her!! I hope she loves all the books! I need to read the 2nd Percy Jackson series!
