Baskets And Brew

PJ asked:


I want to mix up my dry ingredients and butter, then refrigerate that and mix the wet stuff in and bake the coffee cake Saturday while camping. Will that work okay?
The recipe calls for cold butter, not melted.

Monisha M asked:


So far in my coffee maker, I put in cinnamon sticks, cloves and add a little nutmeg before I brew my coffee, but i would like to vary it. I even have a recipe which uses fennel in, but have yet to try it, but what do you use to make a good spiced coffee?

And how do you make an iced coffee?

kornkrazed asked:


I read somewhere that you rub used coffee grinds on you and then wrap the area with plastic wrap? Is this right? Also if you know of a different technique to help get rid of cellulite, I’d like to hear it to. Thanks.

Matej S asked:


I’ve been to Iceland last summer and was amazed by how darn good they make their coffee. It’s aromatic, strong and very dark and you can get it for free (!!!) at a lot of gas stations.
Since my return I’ve been trying to brew coffee that would be as good as Icelandic coffee but I’ve failed (so far).

So, does anyone know how Icelanders make their coffee? What beans do they use? Do they use normal drip coffee makers or something else?

Sugar Cookie asked:


Just wondering, how DO you drink your coffee with whipped cream on top? Do you:

~Mix it into your coffee for it to get a lighter frothier taste?
~Drink the coffee as it is, (risking the whipped cream moustache)
~Eat all the whipped cream and then drink your coffee?

Because I’ve only drank regular coffee without whipped cream, I don’t really get the whole idea of putting whipped cream on top of it, but I would like to try it! And by far, Choice number 1 seems reasonable to me. Please tell me other options!
