Simply
Delicious, name says it all
The
party began an auto parts store and gravitated toward the back, where Mavis R.
Rodgers was dishing up shrimp and grits and good advice on Creole cooking.
“Everybody
used to cook and get together as a family,” said Rodgers, of Simply Delicious
Creole Kitchen, Main Ave., Groves.
She
grew up grinding and prepping food for her grandmother’s table, then joined the
U.S. Navy.
“I
just happened to go in the kitchen and I was sold,” she said.
From
Navy to restaurant runner, Rodgers offers a menu including fried catfish
Maurice, jambalaya and red beans. She’s got a big smile and open personality
that draws you into her stories.
Rodgers
catered a Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce morning business connection
at NAPA Auto Parts-Mid County Auto Supply on Nederland Avenue. Those who hadn’t
already tried her dishes said they were headed there soon. Look for photos of
her family influencers on the wall, she said.
Touch
Coffee, taste coffee. Fast
Makers are
calling the Touch® T526S coffee system “ground-breaking,” no pun intended. My
favorite part is that in addition to brewing up your favorite K-Cup, you can
use the mesh cup included to make a cup, or larger carafe, or travel mug, of
you own loose grind. That’s good for the environment and your smooth, tasty
morning.
You’ll be
making your own coffee memes for Facebook about how much you love it.
It’s a
handsome machine, compatible with “any cup at all—from existing Keurig K-Cups®
to generic cups, in addition to Touch's ground-breaking XBold Cups™,
XLarge Cups™ and reusable Refill Jumbo Cup.”
Got
20 seconds? Here’s what the makers say:
“According to the National Coffee Association USA, the brewing water
temperature for a good cup of coffee is "between 195-205 degrees
Fahrenheit for optimal extraction." The Touch® T526S brewer reaches
this ideal temperature by using its Flash Heating system and starts brewing in
under 20 seconds after being off all night. Plus, Touch heats just enough water
for the selected cup size as opposed to the entire tank of water, and the
machine turns itself off after using, making it more energy efficient than its
competitors.”
I’m trying
this with Touch L.A. Coffee, in Sunset Strip roast. These cups allow up to 30
percent more coffee from each capsule. All this coffee talk has its own
language. I’m just speaking the delicious-convenient-efficient dialect.
