Global market? Is that what they call Cost Plus now?

IINM, Global Market has only the two locations, both in VA.

Cost Plus is "World Market", and has nearly 250 stores all over the country.

Funny you should mention Cost Plus. I tried to find Cost Plus when I went
to Fair Lakes Shopping (area) the same day; couldn't find!

No, Global Food, I mis-wrote. It's one darned big grocery store! Asian and
Hispanic, with emphasis on both.

Wayne, I can count on you!!!! As we were looking, looking, looking for Cost
Plus, we said several times, you don't think it's World Market, do you?
Well, I guess it is!!
I have not really been in that store, it was just opening and had not had
it's opening day the day I peeked in. I was/am hoping to find some
different coffees in there. Don't know if they have them.
THANK YOU AGAIN!

You're welcome, Dee! I don't get to World Market often, but they do have a
variety of coffees. In the store where I go, they carry more than just
their own brand, but the following link shows most of their own varieties.

http://tinyurl.com/d9sgg

I seldom drink hot coffee, but I drink an iced coffee with cream every
morning. For that I prefer a French roast. I've never tried their brand
of French roast. Occasionally I will drink a cup of hot coffee after
dinner, and I like World Market's "Chocolater Turtle".

Best fried shrimp:

Large shrimp, deveined and butterflied. Dip in flour, beaten egg, panko. Let
sit on rack in fridge for 30 min or so. Deep fry in canola or other oil
until light golden brown.

Thanks for the url for World Market and Chocolater Turtle. I've been
looking for a substitute for Giradelli Chocolate coffee beans that I used to
find at BJ's that I really enjoyed occasionally. It's always great to find
new products AND new stores and an online site for them. I like shopping at
home, too. (Wish I could drink coffee for dinner -- lucky you! - oh, I
remember them days.)

Peter, I'm thinking: wouldn't letting the shrimp sit with crumbs on it
diminish the effect of the panko; i.e., letting them get soggy before
deep-frying. How would it be different if you didn't let it sit for 30
minutes +.
Thanks,
Dee Dee

Hey--I just found the Panko bread crumbs--at Target of all places!

During the decade of my 40s, I found that could no longer drink caffeine
without literally shaking. I switched both coffee and tea to decaf
versions. Sometime in my early 50s, I accidentally got hold of a "high
octane" iced latté and drank it without knowing. When I found out, I
realized that all the previous symptoms were gone. I've been drinking
caffeine ever since with no consequences. Wonder if it had anything to do
with male menopause?

It's hard to know what to think when it comes to coffee. My DH and I both
get dizzy; we used to shake, but no more. They must've changed chemicals.
But the gut always rules -- ha ha!
It's another mystery to ask at the Pearly Gates.

It has everything to do with drinking "better" coffee. Darker roast
means less caffine. <s>

I totally agree, but I don't think that would account for the change I went
through with coffee/caffeine. I've been buying all my coffees and teas
from McNulty's in Greenwich Village since the mid-60s. If they sell a less
than good coffee, I've never found it.

You're probably drinking a darker roast than 30-40 years ago... I know
I am.

Back then, you couldn't find anything that even would be considered as
being on the dark side, at least in canned coffee off supermarket shelves.

I also think that most of the beans back then did not approach the
quality available to craft roasters today.

High quality and dark roast coffees have been available at McNulty's all
the years that I've purchased from them. They've been roasting their own
beans since 1895. I was introduced to real espresso back in the 60s.

That's one heck of a recommendation. I read all of the information they
have on line & I just ordered my catalog. I like on-line shopping vs.
catalog nowadays, so I was disappointed in that; but it will be good to
expect something in the mail, other than junk. I used to get many, many
catalogs in the mail (didn't we all?). I used to order tea from Simpson &
Vail, but a tea that I especially liked (Yunnan with gold tips) changed to
an inferior Yunan with gold tips (in my opinion) with no price change, so I
quit ordering. This was too bad for me because it is a reputable retailer.
I wrote them about it, they sent me a replacement, still of the same
inferior quality, but it didn't seem satisfactory enough to me to order
anymore since that was the main tea I drank. I've been wanting to find a
good place since then! Thank you again.

I have never been able to drink much more than 1/2 cup of any dark roast,
without wanting to throw it up and sometimes it does come up in my throat
again. Probably psychogical, one might say, as so many people do prefer it.
I used to love Seattle's Best coffee (they had a roasting plant about 1/2
mile from our house and gave out 25cent coffee to anyone who wanted it.
They roasted a Sumatra to my taste, a medium roast, but changed it to a
darker roast very shortly afterwards; it is very difficult nowadays to find
any bean that is not heavily roasted. I prefer a medium roast brewed
strong. I still can find this, but I have to look harder and harder.
In Montreal, you can specify using expresso (an Americano) and the caffeine
is much less and leaves you not as goofy. But it's hard to find that sort
of thing here in the US, unless you go to Borders or Books a Million or some
mall shop, and then I've not even been happy with it the quality of coffee
they use for their expresso. Vive la Montreal's coffee shops! I've tried
an expresso machine, but it was probably not good enough to do the job. Out
it went.

I used to live on Christopher Street a couple blocks down from
McNulty's. I was probably 21 or 22 and didn't know anything about
coffee. The wonderful smells from McNulty's drew me into the store and
I got hooked on quality coffee.

And let me tell you, at that tender age, I didn't know much about
anything, but living down by the river on Christopher Street in the
early 70s was a wonderful way to introduce me to just how varied life
could be. I loved that street. Still do.

I'm glad you sent for the catalog. I think once you taste their products
you'll be hooked! :-) I don't drink hot tea, but I drink copious amounts
of iced tea year 'round. My favorite for iced is their Earl Grey. It puts
other Earl Grey teas to shame, the flavor is so robust. I also like their
Jasmine teas (they have several). I keep an assortment of small quantities
of their coffees on hand, as I don't drink as much coffee a I do iced tea.
'Hope you find some things you like!

Up here in Winnipeg, most coffee stores the like 2nd cup chain sell
numerous coffee blends, roasted beans and flavoured beans at various
roastings and grinds as well as various fresh brewed coffee.

My preference is as dark as it comes and as fine as they grind it. But I
do find the darker the roast the more chance of heartburn for me. I think
that the darker the roast the more acidic the coffee.

That's enviable, Boron, as I simply love that area. There was a restaurant
in the area that I went to on every excursion to the Village, Horn of
Plenty, that served wonderful southern-style food. They had a "groaning
board" of homemade dessert, cakes, pies, cobblers, and upstairs had a very
nice piano/jazz lounge. In the summer their garden was delightful. They
had been around for decades, but I believe they closed in the late 80s. My
favorite breakfast/brunch place was a tiny little restaurant on Greenwich
Ave. called Elephant and Castle.

You must drink a lot more coffee than I do! I don't ever get
heartburn. I fill my travel mug in the morning, drink it and that's
it. No more coffee until the following day... unless I'm having
dinner "out" - chocolate for dessert requires a "single" expresso.

Back in the bad old days before Peets opened the eyes of the coffee
drinking public (we have our niche roasters too... it's Graffeo here),
I used to drink a lot of coffee and occasionally got sick from the
caffine (flu-like symptoms). I'm glad I have better coffee choices
gererally available now instead of having to go to a destination
coffee roaster for decent beans. http://www.graffeo.com

I usually drink 2 pots a day or more. But I have been cutting back
replacing the coffee with herbal vanilla tea.

Good girl! It's impossible to taste the delecate flavor of tea when
it's full of cream & sugar.

I had many a brunch at Elephant and Castle and many a dinner at the
Horn of Plenty...other favorites in those years (much has changed
since then) were Ye Olde Waverly Inn and David's Potbelly.

Me, too. I can tolerate with sugar if given it that way, but not with
milk.

I loved the fried chicken w mashed potatoes and the meatloaf at Ye Olde
Waverly Inn, and the fireplaes in winter! I never made it to David's.
Very fond memories of all.
