So you won't lose respect for me for putting cream and sugar in my coffee?

 

1945 Cook Book of the United States Navy
Page 36

Yield: Approx. 6 gallons
Portion: 1 cup (approx. 8 ounces)

INGREDIENTS WEIGHTS MEASURES
Milk, evaporated 2 lb. 2 oz. 3 No. 1 tall (14-1/2 oz.) cans (1-1/4 qt.)
Water, hot ---- 1/2 gal.
Sugar 4 lb. ---
Coffee brew, hot --- 6 gal.

Method:

Combine milk and water.

Dissolve sugar in coffee.

Pour milk into coffee. Mix thoroughly.

Trust me as an old Navy guy this was the best.

 

Dude, you are killing me.

I have been drinking coffee black since I was 18. We couldn't keep sugar or milk in the engine room on a consistent basis. So you drank what came out of the pot. I got carded at a McDonalds when I was 19 for asking for black coffee, they said I was too young to drink it that way. They finally served me when I showed them my military ID.

Not as good a shave as yesterday, even though all my stuff stayed the same. Just wasn't as enjoyable for some reason. Think I got up too early.
Not a DFS, proabably a SAS+ though.

It's been a while that I haven't shaved with a soap, and let me say this, the Erasmic Supreme stick is AWESOME - so much rich lather with a wonderful old-school scent, and it sure moisturizes the skin, and leaves it feeling comfortable. The Natural Products balsam feels great also after a shave.

  After that horrible shave the other day, I brought out my Slim Adjustable. I had an order in for blades and they showed up in 3 days. Super fast shipping from the Goose! First time using these blades, unlike the Perma-Sharps, These Russian made Rapira Lux were great. I backed the razor down a bit to 3 & 4, and 2 passes, so far so good. One way I test new blades is with an adjustable. Should have stuck with that advice the other day with the Perma-Sharps. Rapira Platinum Lux's are a very nice blade.Overall a very smooth shave.
