A standard cup of brewed coffee has more caffeine than a single shot of espresso. The belief that the reverse is true results from espresso having a higher unit volume of caffeine, which is offset by the much larger volume overall of a regular cup of coffee.

And the fact that roasting destroys some caffeine. Espresso beans are almost always darker roasted.

The historical Buddha was not obese. The "chubby Buddha" or "laughing Buddha" is a 10th-century Chinese folk hero by the name of Budai. In Chinese Buddhist culture, Budai came to be revered as an incarnation of Maitreya, the Bodhisattva who will become a Buddha to restore Buddhism after the teachings of the historical Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama, have fallen out of knowledge.

Metallic objects designed for microwave use can be used in a microwave with no danger; examples include the metalized surfaces used in browning sleeves and pizza-cooking platforms

Are you giving it away/selling/giving it away again? :giggle:
For a free car I'd consider flying out there to pick it up and driving it home. Driving cross county in a Miata sounds like fun, and I've got a metric buttload of vacation stacked up. |
