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 weekly 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.
You can always find it from the link in the left rail, or by bookmarking http://eatocracy.cnn.com/category/buzz/coffee-klatsch/.

An unknown white powder has been found at hotels near the site of the Super Bowl, New Jersey authorities said today, and hazardous materials teams and a bomb squad have responded.
In New York, authorities also were investigating the contents of a letter sent to the Manhattan office of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, two law enforcement officials said.
The letter, opened in the mail room, contained white powder, according to law enforcement officials.
In New Jersey, the site of Sunday's Super Bowl, an unidentified substance was delivered to two hotels in Carlstadt and one in East Rutherford, said Jeanne Baratta, chief of staff at the Bergen County Executive's Office.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled, albeit slow, Eatocracy.
Happy Super Friday, everyone!! Our temps just got to 33 degrees this morning, woo hoo, first day past freezing in a long time. Sunday is expected to be in the 40's, nice for a change.
Enjoy your weekend, and party safe!
Two more days, Bro'! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous.
Hawks=17
Broncos=10
HA! You're math is off. Better add 14 more to Denver's score.
Kat huh? I just don't see it being that high scoring of a game. Gotz all my fingers crossed though!
Two more days, Bro'! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous.
Hawks=17
Broncos=108
There you go, I fixed it for you...
LOL! I thought you said you didn't partake. Either that or the thin air is finally getting to you ;)
Chalk it up to the usual Friday giddiness...
Good morning all from the snow globe that is Denver this morning...We had an AleeD kind of night, with snowfall from eight to eleven inches, with more in the mountains. Commute was rough, but I left that house at 4:30, so no issues...
How is everyone doing today?
Geeze, man. What time do you go to sleep, 7:30? =D
I wish...Actually caught part of Letterman last night, but was wide awake by three. Given that the local news was talking about the snow by four, I figured an early start was warranted...
Good morning all, after an eventful few days here. I hope that everyone is enjoying their week so far.
The Coffee Klatsch forum started my freshman year of college, and I would read through it during my Intro Psychology lectures. I am now in my senior year, and it is really nice that the same people are posting, 3 years later. JBJingles, JDizzle, Truth, RichardHead, Sir Biddle, it is good to see you are still alive.
That is cool. What school do you go to?
This delights me.
Very cool, but it makes me think that time goes WAY too fast...
devout DITTO!
I'd LOVE to read your analysis of us. We have interacted in, shall we say, unexpected ways from time to time!
Interesting.
Jdizz be a Coffee Klatsch O.G. wit his homeboys RichHeezy, Troofhizzle, Sir Bizzle, The Witty O.G., and the rest of our solja crew like Michelle -O.G.. We rollin deep wif our gang boss Kat-in-the Heezy and underboss SLT (Shawty Liftin' Tanks)
HA! Thanks rquin. Stay in school and off drugs.
Welcome rquinn, glad to know you have been following us all this time...now about that last statement "glad to see you are all alive"...yikes, makes me feel old, well I am old, but not as old as RH, ha ha. :p
Way to go, Blondie…….I consider myself like a Fine wine-–wanna sniff my cork ????? :))
Hey that's pretty cool how NY upthebuttfitness hijacked this site and spams links to their smegmorama website as recent posts. good job webmaster...
Ladies, any clue as to what's going on with the myriad roboposts lately? Seems like posts like those from NYC Fitness Events & DMN are more prevalent than usual. Are they keeping others from posting? Is there a connection between this and some of our "post" buttons going MIA?
Inquiring minds wanna know. :)
And the anxiety snowballs. No post button=no posts. Eh?
Funny thing (and I have a request in for dealing with this) - the button is actually there, but you just can't see it. Put your cursor in the general area and it'll work.
The finger changes, then click. Posted.
Was just wondering about the ghost in the machine. Thanx
Hey that's real cute how NY Fitmybuttness hijacked this site and posts replies, that aren't here, instead they are direct links to their godspamming web site.

Good morning Klatschers! Things are a bit slow 'round these parts this week. Possibly the cold weather has folks pursuing "alternative" activities. ~_~ GoodONya!
I read somewhere that most babies are born in the spring. May or thereabouts. Count backwards to the first big storms of winter..........
Hope that everyone's who has had to travel, particularly to the south east (like Atlanta) has stayed safe!
I'm feeling better; took yesterday off. My office is so warm right now that I have to fight falling asleep.
20 deg F tomorrow.
Busting out the shorts and Hawaiian shirt
lolz,tropical weather, eh?
Happit!ty Humpity Day everyone!
39deg.
Feels like 39deg.
And....wait for it......
It's raining.
Who'd a thunk?
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is uncertain for this Sunday's Super Bowl after being arrested last night in a suspected "knockout game" a$$ault. When reached for comment, Sherman stated "#$%@*!&^#%(*#!"
You may now return to your regularly scheduled Eatocracy...
Headed to Hot-lanta on Saturday, any food recommendations?
OMG, it is insane there right now. Lots of my colleagues slept in the basement of the adjacent hotel and some abandoned their cars after driving for 8 hours. I hope it's better by the time you get there.
Is there a particular kind of food you love? I'm current enamored of The Optimist, Abbatoir and Empire State South, but there's so much stuff on Buford Highway and all around the city.
I'm sure the Omni was hopping.
Thanks for the food reccos, I'll keep you posted.
The Omni seems to always be a hoppin place.
What happened? An inch of snow?
Saw a picture of a car in the ditch down south this morning. Saw more grass than I did snow, lol
To those not prepared, playing just the tip can cause big trouble even if its only an inch.
Its more ice than snow. Black ice, that then gets a little dusting on top to hide it and its game over. Its like driving on a slip and slide.
Good "Hump Day" morning Kidz……been running like a Greyhound chasing 3 rabbits at once . I'm in Sir Biddles Home State and will unload,reload and back to PA….not a bad run and the pay is excellent…:)) Got 2 more next week just like it…..NICE. Hope you all are doing well and I predict The Denver Broncos will WIN on Sunday…..was there ANY doubt????
Have a Great Day,stay warm and Welcome back to Kat and Sarah.
Please stay safe out there! So scary.
I just love it when the high for the day hits right before sunrise. Grrr ... rather Brrr. ;)
An example of "Be careful what you wish for" –
SIL called last nite complaining about the whether where she lives in Floriduh's Panhandle. Formerly from the New England area, she said, "If it's going to be this cold and nasty, it should be snowing." Lo' & behold, overnight she got her wish. Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
This more than proves the point that the Panhandle of Floriduh isn't really part of the Sunshine state. It's actually part of Alabama & Georgia, but someone drew the borderline wrong.
Good morning to all. Hope you're staying warm and dry thru this nasty Winter.
Whoa….Break out the Wool bikini . 7 degrees in Walcott,IA this morning….and the coffee tastes dam GOOD. Stay warm 'Sista.
Good morning, Big Bruddah! We missed you yestiddy. Did you get caught in an ice floe on the way home?
I'll wear a wool bikini when you wear a wool banana hammock – with nothing between you and the wool. BTW, do you know what happens to wool when it gets wet? I might as well be wearing nothing at all ... oh wait ... ~_~
Ha! I know exactly which truck stop you are referencing in Wolcott.
Good Morning 'Bro……the perfect place to do the 3 S's in the morning.I told JBJ I'm like a Kid in a Candy Store when I hit here. Stay Safe and Warm….
Stay off the neighboring water slide or you'll get frostbite in the wrong places.
WHOA!!! Springs1 is off his/her meds on the tipping thread!
Good grief, is that thread still around? Your right though-Springs1 is bat sh!t crazy!
Just how crazy IS that?
Scarier than dog sh!t crazy...
Due to unusually high fear and apathy, the Seattle Seahawks have decided to not play in this Sunday's Super Bowl. When reached for comment, Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman stated "Well, we are just afraid. Afraid of getting hurt, and maybe getting dirty. It will be cold, and I for one would rather be at home in my jammies."
You may now return to your regularly scheduled Eatocracy.
Sounds about right.
Ha! Yer funny! Turth, izzat choo?
On a side note, a local butcher shop here is selling a spicy smoked sausage with Skit tles in it. Ya want I should send ya's some?

Geez-stoopid ModBotz.........
LMAO. Word round the locker rooms is that NFL will be changing it's acronym meaning to Nanny Football League.
The rumor is they are really concerned about getting their uniforms dirty.
Good morning! Cold, cold, cold here, but by the end of the week it will be warmer for the big party that's coming to town. Not really my town, but this whole area is Super Bowl crazy. I would like to be able to go and experience Super Bowl Boulevard in Times Square.
Anything new?
Good morning all from a cold and snowy Denver. Woke to eleven degrees, and would have given serious thought to staying home if I hadn't already taken yesterday.
How is everyone doing today?
-18°F
FEELS LIKE -31°
We're coping with an insufferable 76 degrees with a few wisps of cloud drifting by in an incredibly blue sky. Southern California such a tough place to live!
Happy Tootsday everyone! Anyone seen brother RH? I haven't 'heard' from him in a few days and hope he is Okie Dokie...
How was Floriduh for you? Chilly? Was your grouper sammich grilled or frozen? ^_^
(I still ain't gots no posting button. Gotta feel my way around .... heh-heh)
You really must have pissed off that button. It's okay though as long as you feel the right place ;)
You must have really pis sed off that button. It's okay though, as long you feel around the right place ;)
Floridork was downright cold! But glad I got out through Atlanta on Friday and not this week...and I has no button myself for the last week or so also. I just hover around til I get the little pointy finger and click away. :)
GOOOOOONG!! WAKE UP!!!
I know, I know. You were all up late last nite celebrating the realization of this Sunday's football game's newest t!tle ...
The Stoner Bowl
Kinda funny the way that worked out, eh? The game probably won't be the only "bowl" Sunday.
I heard kickoff was going to be changed to 4:20.
Maybe they'll "light up" the stadium.
Hi, nice people! I was out much of last week, as was Sarah, or working on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mJNOZas32E
But back and missed you all!
Hi there! Glad you're back. Wish we could meet sometime! Cheers!
Hiya Kat! Our post buttons went MIA last week while you were gone, other than that I think we all survived another week....welcome back by the way.
yEAH, It was amazing to see how much anxiety this caused.
Time to break out the hot toddy recipes...
*cough* *sneeze*
Luckily we have some! http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2014/01/22/cold-weather-recipes/
Happy Monday, everyone! Was that the lamest Pro Bowl ever or what?
The commentators were saying at the end that the NFL wanted to end the tradition but decided on this new approach instead. I say just name the guys as Pro's, give them each some extra $$ and lots of advertising, and move on.
How was the weekend? It was snowy here on Saturday and dreary yesterday. Dreary again today. I see our friends in the SE are going to have some weather fun this week, I hope everyone stays warm and safe!
Mmm-hmm. Just love those eyes ... now what was I saying?
I know, right? Happy Monday!
