bill austin: Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce Business Expo - 06/27/08 12:26 AM
Last night I atttended the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce Business Expo at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa. This is an annual event that I have been attending for quite a few years.

bill austin: Cowboy Coffee - 06/16/08 01:28 AM
Cowboy Coffee I was reading this blog post Stop and Smell the coffee by Connor MACIVOR here on Active Rain and it reminded me of something my brother told me about when we were out camping one time long ago. He said that cowboys made coffee in a special way. Without a lot of implements and cooking gear and with only a campfire to heat the coffee, they were not able to measure the coffee or tell from any standard recipe when it was actually done.
The cowboys would simply place the pot full of water on the campfire and pour … (8 comments)
