Re: [CnD] About the Domino's web page.
I would have to contact the law firm to see if they have a list. I'll let the list know.

Is there a list somewhere with the names of ones that have passed muster? I get a lot of restaurant emails, but I'm not going to install an app unless I know it'll work with Talkback. And some cases it means not being able to participate in their sweepstakes for lots of free food for a year or a lifetime. So I'd like to know which ones are safe. There are also some places that still require hardcopies of their email coupons instead of accepting it from a phone, and that's another area where they get us. Lastly, what about the delivery services? An accessible restaurant app is not useful if their preferred delivery company doesn't have an accessible app too.

[CnD] Storing Coffee
I've sometimes put cans of ground coffee in the freezer, when I have room and when I think to do it. I haven't noticed a difference. I have a friend who has worked as a cook in kitchen most of her adult life. She refrigerates her coffee, especially after she opens the can or jar. -Original Message- From: Carol Ashland via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2019 11:25 AM To: Wendy via Cookinginthedark Cc: Carol Ashland Subject: Re: [CnD] electric coffee pot cleaning I freeze coffee beans, and it doesn't seem to hurt them.

Re: [CnD] Storing Coffee
There has been some literature going back and forth on storing coffee in the freezer. Some say it enhances the flavor and others are more like bleh. Often though, when they talk about freezing coffee beans, it's more of really cold temps not likely achievable by your standard home fridge. One thing though that is universal is that oxygen and moisture are the enemies and absolute worst things to expose coffee to if you want to preserve flavor and freshness. I've tried freezing some cheaper beans in the freezer, but always in air tight storage. People as a general rule buy grocery store or large chain quality coffee which isn't all that great and is really meant as a fuel substitute so perhaps for the average coffee drinker it wouldn't matter as much. But if I'm dropping upwards of $20 or $30 for a 12 ounce bag of coffee beans, I'm going to make sure I try to keep them fresh as long as possible. There are coffee canisters that supposedly let out the carbon dioxide and prolong beans longer and while I do have one myself, it's not my main method of storage. I've even toyed around with storing beans in old wine bottles and using a rubber stopper to suck out all the air. In broad terms, keep your coffee in a dark and cool place. I.E. a pantry or cabinet. Away from sunlight and heat. Prevent degradation by minimizing exposure to oxygen and don't ever let your coffee beans or grounds get moist. Beans will always be better and fresher than grounds and they have the added advantage that you can grind as you go instead of opening a big tub of ground coffee that who knows is already how old even before you open it and who knows how long it'll take you to finish it. I'm a coffee beans over grounds guy all the way, but during the summer, I get lazy and just buy those 30 ounce tubs at Aldi or Target or wherever to make coffee concentrate for cold brew. It doesn't bother me in the sense that I use them right away anyway and cold brew is more forgiving for things like acidity. -Original Message- From: Jan via Cookinginthedark Sent: Tuesday, October 8, 2019 6:37 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Jan Subject: [CnD] Storing Coffee I've sometimes put cans of ground coffee in the freezer, when I have room and when I think to do it.
