What bugs you about being a guest in someone else's house?

The water in California tastes like butt. Everything you make with it is tainted. I'm looking forward to a good cuppa when I get home to the land of "The Old Bull Run".

[Félix]

I never noticed that.

I was only in the Bay Area, but I remember Anaheim being horrible as well. So, I'm crediting the state in general...

I should have received a prize for drinking the crystals. I made a huge pot of good coffee this morning to treat myself.

Watch out, Susan! When kyle talks about cream you never know what you're getting!

Thanks for the heads up, Phil!

That's why we purchase new "guest pillows" every 2-3 years.

Now I'm curious, what are Folgers crystals?

[Félix]

Crappy instant coffee.

[Louise]

I love my Nespresso machine :-)

[Louise]

Is it one of the fancy models with glass tubes etc?

Hmm depending on their age, aren't most kids bratty from time to time?

[Chetan]

[Chetan]

[Chetan]

Not all,certainly..But you have to admit some kids are highly annoying..!

I can't stand visiting a house with bratty kids."

What is 'expresso'?

[Félix]

Americano Expresso?

In England I never knew anyone who made real coffee. I prefer tea anyway. I like instant in my cocoa sometimes.

[Susan]

I put cocoa in my brewed coffee, sometimes. Instant mocha. :)

Yes! I made the mistake of buying some soy milk just in case it tasted ok in my coffee, and it DOES NOT. Now I'm stuck with the whole container, I guess I'll just be wasteful and toss it. It expires in a couple days anyway (what's with that, shouldn't it last longer than cow's milk?).

Sticking with my regular nondairy creamer from now on. No more experiments.

Being a guest in someone else's house is always stressful if you have to share a bathroom. Bathroom stuff is always tricky.

[Scout]

And no control over the thermostat.

It also curdles in the hot coffee. The visual is really gross! I don't mind it on cereal but as a second choice to icy cold skim cow milk
