Yes but i've seen recipes taken directly off the net that have that wording
before the recipe begins so even if that was written at the first, tain't
necessarily true if you know what i mean.

I'd think someone would make a simple timer that you could plug any device
into and then leave it on for a defined time, though with how digital crazy

Yeast does require a delicate balance of temperature; too cool, and
the yeast won't react; too hot, and the temperature will kill the
yeast. Yeast actually reacts to sugar. For instance, in the recipe I

water, stir in a tablespoon

What might help is for folks to put the status of a recipe at the top of it
when they send it. Things like "I've made this several times", "I made this
once", "I got this from this mailing list and haven't tried it, but other
blind folks have", and "I found this on the net and haven't tried it yet"

I've heard people say their machine doesn't last a long time but they're not

A few more reasons why I like the Keurig is you can choose how much coffee you
want to make if you get the big machine. You can make a 12 ounce cup, 10, 8, 6
or 4 ounce cup. You can also control the temperature as far as how hot you want
your beverage to be and I believe there are 5 temperature
Well, my point when I wrote about the Keurig is that you not only can use it to
make coffee but you can use it for other beverages like tea, hot apple cider,
hot chocolate, iced teas. How many other coffee makers will allow you to make
other beverages besides coffee and not have to worry about
the 70 dollar one sounds like a good one.
You can also buy the my kay cup attachment.
I like the fact that there is also other things like tea and cider.
