Pssst! Got a sec to chat?

We are utterly thrilled when readers want to hang out and talk – whether it's amongst themselves or in response to pieces we've posted. We want Eatocracy to be a cozy, spirited online home for those who find their way here.

Consider the daily Coffee Klatsch post as your VIP lounge – the primary comments thread for readers who'd like to chat about topics not related to the articles we're running. That way, everyone knows where to find each other, and each post's comments section remains on topic.

    I hope everyone's having a lovely day...

    Now to figure out something for lunch (since I forgot to grab a container of my friend's chili for work) and get some knitting done!

    Every day I wake up with the realization that I am in love with the most amazing man Jonathan. I thank him daily for loving the three of us. Forever, Blue Flower (Helene)

    As a change of pace for CNN website comments, I thought I'd add in something happy for a change:

    JONATHAN LOVES HELENE – I'm hers and she's mine!

    I hope everyone else's day is good – carry on!

      Congrats. And yes, the message boards can get really ugly at times.

    Just found out I have a meeting in Atlanta next month...hotel has this: "Arrange a tour and discover behind the scenes at Atlanta’s CNN Studio". So my question to Kat & Ko. is, if I took said tour, would there be any remote chance of stumbling across an Eatocracy Cutting Board? Maybe?

    If so, it might be worth the trip although I don't have much free time when I'm there unless we finish early after 2 days of meetings... :D

      LM AO! You are relentless about that cutting board. Let us know how the tour goes.

      I know, huh? But, if I do happen to acquire such a prized possession, I will be the envy of this fine Klatsch, won't I?? Hmmm?

        Don't forget my Eatocracy Unnerwears ( the Boxer short style ) so I can fashion a Chef's Hat out of them while Naked Grilling. :)

    Hello! You're not off to a good start today, @ Truth, is your cat ok? I don't eat a lot of donuts, @ AleeD, but choclate & custard filled long johns are my fave when I do. I do, however, love my coffee! Have a nice big mug of it when you're done lashing the "naughty" 1. Lol!

    Good morning all, and how is everyone doing today? I woke up to the sound of a cat puking. On the bed. Good times!

      Consider yourself lucky My Brother.....at least it wasn't a dutch oven. No more ice cream for the cat. :))

        Rich, cat puke vs. Dutch oven? What's the rule on long I have to stay in the Dutch Oven?
        Truth, it's better to hear it and know about it than to make a midnight baños trip and find it unexpectedly with your toes.

        Most excellent point brother! I think I will give him a hug, if he wants it or not. Life is WAY too short.

    A glorious Humpy Hap day to all. Enjoy it with some coffee and chocolate cake donuts (sometimes simple is best).
    Looks like someone politicized a food blog yesterday. Tsk, tsk. Thirty lashes – Mistresses choice. Into the dungeon with you.
