Old-Time? This lady belongs in the dog house

Now, now, calm down, have a nice drink, he he heee.

Did you get your one cup maker?

LOL

It was a mini-rant; perhaps micro- would have been a better prefix. I'm not the least bit upset nor was I. It's more like dumbfounded or at that moment speechless. Old-time vs simpler.

Yes I got my one cup brewer, but I can't find any tea for it. However, I did get a special strainer that I could put my own mix in it.

I'll make some tonight and let you know how it works. I chose Keurig because the teas are available but not at Walmart.

A funny part is that I thought I knew about types of coffee pots (It was my duty to prepare my mom's coffee every morning) but my search showed other wise.

It's strange the connotation that certain words or phrases have,. To me old-time means before the computer age in general. Simple can have many meanings.

Thanks for answering and reading.

PS I also bought a new toaster oven.

I am not 40 years old......yet (close though). And "old-time" to me also means before the technology age of computers and things. I do actually remember the percolator you are talking about. I believe my grandparents had one.

I still have one of those percolators in my cupboard! Guess I must be old-time too lol

[mrspunkysmom]

I had one for the longest time. It was great for making tea. Wish I still had one.

More shopping to do.

Just went window-shopping online. While Walmart may not carry them, others do. Mine looked beaten up and simple. Not pretty, much like a camping percolator. I like the rustic look.

I remember, as a child, my parents had a pyrex clear glass percolator. It had the basket for the grounds, you filled it with water. Once the water started boiling, it would travel up the hollow stem of the basked holder through the coffee.

Then came instant coffee (Taster's Choice was my parents coffee of choice). I didn't start drinking coffee til I was 21 and worked nights as an ambulance dispatcher. None of that crap for me. Only Dunkin Donuts!!

Anytihing made 5 years ago is considered "old time" in today's
fast paced world.
