KONA COWBOY COFFEE RUB

I was bored the other day, my computer was down, and I decided to watch a cooking show that I had DVR’d.  They were talking about all kinds of rubs to put on meats to add exotic flavors before cooking.  Well, that got me thinking that there’s nothing more exotic than 100% Kona coffee and since I make PANIOLA 100% Kona Cowboy Coffee why not an exotic Kona Cowboy Coffee Rub?  So here it is.

Start with 2/3 cup of PANIOLA 100% Kona Cowboy Coffee.  I used the pre-ground package that we make ‘cause, well, you’ll see.  Then get a half-cup of brown sugar, packed down.  Just pat it.  Next, two tablespoons of coarse salt.  Kosher salt is perfect.  Now, pour it all into a food processor and grind it up.  Actually, if you use ground coffee you can just mix it up.  Now just rub it onto and into a nice steak and you’re all set.  Let the steak sit for a half hour and then grill away!  Ono!  As we say in Kona.

The Kona Cowboy Coffee Company is proud to provide the finest coffee available to rub on your meat.  You’ll get a delicious rub and a great cup of Joe with PANIOLA 100% Kona Cowboy Coffee, grown on Hawaiian volcanoes and roasted in the Rocky Mountains … the one with no bitter aftertaste and no acidity.  CAFÉ PINON de Nuevo Mexico is the Southwest’s favorite with pinion nuts and a perfect way to improve your coffee experience during the day.  And our MOKA-JAVA is a medium dark roasted blend of Indonesian and Ethiopian coffees that just might be high octane!   We also make COWBOY ACTION COFFEE, the Official Coffee of the Single Action Shooting Society!   If you are a Chai drinker, you’ll love the Coconut or Mango Spiced Chai we bring in from Honolulu.

HOW “COFFEE” AND “POT” GO TOGETHER!

According to the Denver Post, a marijuana-friendly coffee and tea shop has opened in Lafayette, Colo., outside Boulder, after Gov. John Hickenlooper signed Amendment 64 into law, legalizing the recreational use of the drug.

The Hive Co-Op charges $5 for admittance, and allows customers to light up, provided they aren’t toting more than an ounce of marijuana, which owner Veronica Carpio — who previously ran a Lafayette-based dispensary — prefers to call cannabis.

Carpio said she informally started the co-op after Gov. John Hickenlooper signed Amendment 64 into law, which legalized recreational use of marijuana. She wants the co-op to be a neighborhood gathering spot where people can unwind, have a cup of coffee, smoke a joint and feel surrounded by good, healing energy, she said.

Mark Heath, an artist who helped designed the cafe’s interior, likened the social experience of using marijuana to that of drinking coffee. ”People have been getting together to drink coffee together for 200-some years,” Heath told the paper. “This is an extension of that.”

Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett said there are lots of gray areas that need to be sorted out by the Amendment 64 Implementation Task Force, a 24-member panel that met last month for its first time.  The group is in charge of creating rules for an industry that has never existed before -- the recreational marijuana stores allowed under Colorado's newly enacted Amendment.  In the interim, Garnett said if people were to sell marijuana at a cannabis club, that could be considered illegal.  Garnett said his office's top priorities are public safety issues -- such as driving under the influence of marijuana or juvenile use of pot.
