What y'all buy with money (or barter) today?

I stopped at the farm market on my way home for some of the first corn on the cob of the summer.... YUM! And a small bag of cherries for dessert. That's it for my purchases today.

Congrats on the new toy, Kev!

Light cooked breakfast at cafe, chicken & Mushroom Chiabata and orange juice for lunch, two ice lollies. My Nesspreso coffee capsules arrived (been without decent coffee for 3-4 days!!) Any questions ... feel free

Too late son ... I've stripped off my delivery too But see how well I waited for my first cuppa!

today I added to the greenhouse effect by purchasing
20 fags at the local newsagents
1 large cappuccino at southwaite services
1 large cappuccino at scotch corner services
a plate of beef stew n dumplings from the canteen of the factory i was visiting,
a mars bar....
1 large cappuccino at scotch corner.... (all coffee was costa)
(all of the above (except the stew n dumplings ) also involved burning copious amounts of petrol and polluting the place up for a meeting that lasted a bloody hour)

and lastly 3 quarters of a tank of petrol,a packet of rizlas and a pack of 4 blueberry muffins from the local garage.

Nice series Dave , thanks for sharing... Hope you enjoy the contents - looks a fair bit of coffee to me.
We have one of them Tassimo thingies, pressie from the Brother & his missus' last Christmas - Not a bad cup tho' - But you have to shop around for the best prices on the coffee...

I made my own sarnies for lunch - ham & cheese , did throw a bit of salad in though, just to liven em' up a bit. Bought a bottle of Coke from some dodgy looking corner store to wash it all down with.

as a fellow coffee aficionado judging by your shots above you'll know just how vital it is

This is a Nesspresso machine so supply of the thingies is only via them direct. Works out 23p or 24p per cup depending on the blend. It is the best coffee I have ever had. Very high quality and consistently excellent. I used to have a proper Gaggia Classic but the consistency wasn't as good as this one, much slower, a pain to change the water container and a mess to clean. This one was a £50 ebay bargain new so saved a packet. A 10/10 product.

mine is a delongi it does espresso,normal filter coffee and it has a milk frother on the side.
i use the costa house blend.

I will check that blend out as I need something cheap but decent for the work cafetier!

Bacon, egg and lettuce sarni today - in wholemeal - bleugh

The bacon and egg is fine - trying to make it politically correct with lettuce and wholemeal is pathetic.

BUT

It's a sign of the times - so the dog got the bacon and I had an egg and lettuce sarni - in wholemeal
