I definitely think we do! Bored to Death is so funny and Jason’s facial expressions and his hairstyle cracks me up every time. And yes, I will go shouldn’t be laughing but omg it’s too funny I can’t help it!Hi cilantro, We seem to share the same sense of humor!You’d probably also like, “Bored to Death”, which we thought was very funny, although in some places veers towards “Curb Your Enthusiasm” territory, in that we’d be thinking, “oh geez,
we shouldn’t be laughing”!
This looks good. I tried making coffee ice cream before but it wasn’t as good. Do you use egg yolks?Hello all, I hope everyone is having a nice weekend! Here's a pic of my latest attempt at making a creamy, not too sweet, coconut milk "ice cream". I’ve been on a mission to create a recipe we love, this one is mocha chip. Getting close, recipe needs a bit more tweaking, but pretty good!

I love coconut especially when chilled! The meat is yummy when it’s soft and sweet. It’s one of the most delicious snack I enjoy when watching TVFor fellow coconut lovers (and to entice others who are on the fence), here's a photo of my favorite coconut items. Bottom right is made by Mother Nature.The others are coconut oil in solid and liquid forms, canned coconut milk, and coconut water. I find quality makes a big difference in flavor, so I buy the best available. I especially like this brand of coconut milk, as it has no thickeners.

Lots of local grocers seem to sell these young coconuts, now. If you ask, they’ll often be willing to cut off the hard shell on the top to expose the coconut meat. Cutting a hole in that exposes the fresh coconut water, so good! And as these are younger coconuts, the meat is softer, so it's easy to scoop out to eat, or use in recipes.

I am really looking forward to the new season of Homeland starting on Sunday. And there's a crazy show called Baskets that stars Louis Anderson starting a new season. It's one of those shows that you have to watch for some time to get into it. Anyone watching anything new? (still watching Victoria and Frankie and Grace)
I heard a really nice interview with him on Fresh Air a few months back where he talked about Baskets and his experience growing up and how it relates. I came away with complex feelings, it was sad at times, sobering at times, funny at times, but he seems to be a rare person who has sadness in his life and can share about it in a genuine way without seeming to want anything (pity, admiration, comfort...).
Baskets is like that Nicole -- funny, sad, sobering -- many emotions, which is why you have to watch it for a bit to "get into it." His character is wonderful.
We love Homeland! It's one of our favourite shows! Thank you for mentioning it or else we might have missed it. Just checked it starts here around 18th Feb. So I shall set a reminder on my TV box to record it.
We started to watch Babylon Berlin this week and so far it's been excellent! It's the first TV series in German for us. It's the most expensive non-English language drama series ever made in history and also most expensive German TV series at the time of its first season release with a budget of approximately 40 million Euros.

It's set in late 1920'+ Berlin. It has history, detective story, strong female characters, the art deco set, the entertainment scenes in Berlin, the dances, the whole works! It gives a great peak of Berlin right after WWI. We have visited Berlin several times and really find it so fascinating!
According to IMDB, this was released in the USA on 30 January 2018 but it's via "internet only". So I assume it's more Amazon Netflix time of platform? Worth doing a search?
I must admit I am not a fan of watching on computer either. Hence I don't have those internet only platforms. For watching shows, I like mine on a big screen.
I have netflix and Amazon Prime on my tv. Apple tv maybe? My GDs are better at finding stuff than I am. When the 8 year old couldn't find the cartoon she wanted on the tv, she watched it on my phone lol. I have no idea how.
