How do I clean my coffee carafe?
groovygirl asked:
So, I’ve clearly been bad about cleaning my coffee maker regularly and not letting coffee sit inside for hours on end. Now I have a coating of dark, brown, hard, coffee residue on the bottom of the carafe. Problem is the carafe is designed so there is just a 2″ diameter hole on the top – not big enough to stick my hand in and scrub. It’s soaking in vinegar now, but I’m not seeing much progress. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Check out the detailed description of how I made it (as well as other video game related projects I’ve done) here:
http://ultra-awesome.blogspot.com/
Hello, I’ve been working on this for a few months now.
A while ago I decided I was running out of room for many many videogames and their boxes etc. (I’m one of those fanatics who insists on having everything with original boxes).
So I built this, to replace my current coffee table, it has space inside it to store game boxes etc.
Made from MDF and painted with a variety of oil based and acrylic paints.
Gift Baskets for Graduates – Commemorate Their Achievements
Janet Vogel asked:
A wonderful way to celebrate this special milestone is to create a gift basket personalized just for the graduate. When you put forth the effort to make a gift basket, instead of purchasing a gift, it indicates how much you cherish the person receiving the gift.
There are many ways to personalize graduation gift baskets. While you may not know all of the recipient’s preferences, here are some questions that may help you get some ideas. What are the recipient’s hobbies? Do they enjoy sports, music, movies, or reading? What are their future plans? Are they about to embark on the working world?
Are you looking for gift ideas for a high school graduate going on to college? Start by selecting a container that will be useful such as an organizer, a basket that can be used to hold personal items, or even a small decorative trash can. It’s important to use filler materials in your container to hold the gifts in place. In addition to purchased shred or straw, you can also make your own filler. Use old music sheets, maps, or school-related papers and shred them in a paper shredder. Choose one gift item that is a keepsake of his or her graduation; a photo frame, paperweight, jewelry, etc., that is monogrammed with their school name or year of graduation. Center this item in the container and surround it with useful items they can use at college. If you have empty spaces, fill them in with tea bags, gourmet coffee, or envelopes of hot cocoa or soup mixes.
Another option is to use a laundry basket as the container. Fill it with towels, sponges, paper products, detergents, dryer sheets, bars of soap, and other necessary items. Include a roll of quarters for the laundromat.
For the graduate who has completed his education, gift items that relate to his future would be greatly appreciated. Select a book that would be helpful in his chosen career and place it in a basket with desk accessories and a coffee mug for his desk. A young lady would enjoy a gift basket filled with bath and body products.
If the graduate is planning a vacation in the near future, put together an assortment of travel related items in a canvas tote bag; guide books, maps, travel size toiletries, travel alarm clock, a travel mug, etc.
The reality of gift giving is that your gift should be a token of your appreciation for the recipient, or congratulations for his or her accomplishments.

Coffee Gift Basket
James Brown asked:
Many people like to give memorable gifts to friends and family at Christmas or any other occasion that is truly special. They prefer to find unique combinations of little things that they know every person would enjoy, and find that the gourmet coffee gift basket is the right choice for almost everybody on their gift giving list.
The flavored coffee that is in a gourmet coffee gift basket might come from Columbia, or as far as Greece. Some people read through countless reviews about the gourmet coffee choices that they have to pick from before deciding the flavors that they want to include for each person on their gift list.
Some of their friends might like a coffee that is robust and full of zest and caffeine, and there are certainly other friends who could do without caffeine completely. Some people would be completely thrilled to get some gourmet coffee all by itself in a large and very decorative basket that they can use in their home for other things.
A gourmet coffee gift basket can be filled with fresh fruits and vegetables too for the friends and relatives that prefer to make their own jams and jellies. Then they can spend a lazy day sipping flavorful coffees and enjoying the jellies that they made on some sconces and on their biscuits for breakfast. A gourmet coffee gift basket can be just the right gift for a wedding shower, and when filled with kitchen accessories it could be perfect for a new housewife.
Some people prefer to dress the gourmet coffee gift basket with matching towels and shower rings. The scented soaps that surround the gourmet coffee bags might camouflage the coffee scents for a while, but when they get their basket home and unpack, the friends will surely be delighted to find the aluminum foil wrapped delights in the bottom.
Every school teacher is bound to receive more than one gourmet coffee gift basket during the course of a school year, but every teacher knows that this type of gift is one that they will truly enjoy all year long. The basket will prove very useful too in class when it is turned into a treat jar for the class, or a place where children can find items that they lost in their haste to go outdoors at the end of the day.
Some people prefer to make their own gourmet coffee gift basket. They will pick and choose the flavorful coffee beans that they want each friend to get, and then seal them up in mason jars and a bow with a note that tell them that they are simply the best! Some of these gourmet coffee gift baskets will contain items that they cross stitched at home, and the entire gift will be fondly remembered each me those items are used.
