Nespresso is Awesome!

My youngest daughter, Laramie, bought me this amazing machine for Christmas. I absolutely love it! It's such a fun machine, and it even came with a milk frother!

We have had so much fun making different beverages and experimenting with flavors and froth. Paul and I have coffee dates every Saturday morning without paying $6 for a cup of coffee :).

I did choose to use purified water with this system because my last coffee machine died far to quickly (different brand). It seems to be working really well and I don't have any build up or issues.

There are so many different flavors from Nespresso and it's fun to play with them and mix flavored syrups and frothy milk as well.

Denise's Diner - Edgerton, WY

3/25/2020 *Denise's is still open for takeout, though their hours have changed. Please call           (307) 437-6299 for up to date information.

There's a new little gem nestled in the valley of Highway 387, just after you've turned off 259 and are headed out of Edgerton towards Wright or Gillette (South Dakota is also a destination along that route). Denise's Diner occupies the old site of the Edgerton Cafe, which closed several years ago. Denise has completely updated the building, new restrooms, bright and friendly decor, beautiful exterior.

We have been to Denise's several times since the doors opened at the end of February 2020. It is a walk in and seat yourself welcoming kind of place. It is almost always busy and the staff there greet you with a smile.

The food is good. They are brand new, so there are sometimes still a few kinks, but when you walk in at 5 PM,order coffee, and they make you a fresh pot with a smile, knowing most of it is going down the drain in a couple of hours, that's why you go back.

I have heard raves about the french toast, and my daughter and niece really enjoyed it. The pie has a good reputation, as do the milk shakes. Their hashbrowns were crispy, not soggy, and cooked just right. My favorite though, is definitely the burgers. Every burger I have eaten there has been tender and juicy, cooked to perfection and just melt in your mouth. With fun names and flavors like the "Clutch Burger" (jalapenos and pepperjack), and the "Sweet Heat Burger" (Signature, homemade sweet heat sauce), I would definitely give this place a try!

Pricewise it's fair and comparable to other restaurants of this type. Our family of four can eat there for forty dollars or less. Free refills on beverages, and a cup of (very good) coffee is only $1.50.

 

                                                   I think this was biscuits and gravy, but I took the photo a little late!

Cheese Omelette  - Later on I had one with mushrooms and Swiss, and it was also delicious!

My husband and I often split, and they will bring it out on two plates at no extra charge. This is the Chili Burger with Green Chili (they have red as well).

Green chili

Adult Grilled Cheese can also be ordered with ham.

Homemade ranch is excellent! Thick and creamy, and tastes great!

Generously sized strawberry shakes rounded out the meal.

Excellent coffee - By the Bean

They offer several different sweeteners, including both a Splenda and Stevia type, which I haven't found a lot of places.

Curly fries are always a choice! We haven't ordered the onion rings yet, so no photos of those.

This is The Philly Cheesesteak and Fries, and it was GOOOOOD.

Spicy Breakfast Burrito with Red Chili

French Toast (you can also get it with eggs and/or meat)

They offer traditional half and half, but will bring out a pitcher of real milk if you prefer that with your coffee.

Chicken Fried Steak 

More french toast! It's a fan favorite around here.

I don't even remember what this is! I think it's a chili burger.

Adult Grilled Cheese with Fries

 Adult Grilled Cheese with Fries up top and BLT below, also with fries.

That is the Mother Trucker.

Look how huge it is!!!

Today I had the Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich and Potato Rounds....very good!

Apple Pie with Ice Cream!

John 13:1-17 ¹³ Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.² And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;³ Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;⁴ He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.⁵ After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.⁶ Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.⁸ Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.⁹ Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.¹¹ For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.¹² So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?¹³ Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

 

Jesus was trying to show the true meaning of His ministry, and of ours. I believe that foot washing has to do with our willingness to love others.  This doesn’t mean we need to literally go around washing people’s feet, but loving them, putting others first. He says right there in verse 15 that He has given us an example and we should do as he has done.

 

Galatians 5:13-14 ¹³ For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Luke 10:27 ²⁷ And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

A traveler was passing through a large, thick wood when he saw part of a huge oak tree which seemed misshapen and spoiled the scenery. “If I was the owner, I would cut down that tree”, he thought to himself. But when he had climbed the hill, he was able to see  the whole forest, and this same tree was the most beautiful part of the landscape. One day we will have a clearer vision of Jesus’s mysteries.

Right now we need to know the Christian ministry isn’t about us. We have to look at things differently. In these passages, Jesus was trying to get the disciples into the right attitude. Do you have the right attitude?
