i might just give up on coffee. i had a decent blend going of coffee/creamer/sugar ratio that i enjoyed but then i decided to shy away from all that sugar and i’m not sure if i’ll find a decent ratio again. all i ever taste from all this cheap coffee is a flavor of some type of wood and sour glue, that combined with bitter cheap coffee it’s just no good. just going to give this lavazza coffee someone on here recommended, reordered the damn stolen coffee,

A very beautiful state. I have seen it many times. I was so happy when things went green for y’all. I have ran from tornadoes in that state and hunker down and pray that I didn’t get blown way

Yea man. I’ve stayed between white and yellow lines for a long time. That Louisiana some crazy stuff. Love the food. I have fished in the gulf before many of times. Texas is amazing. For a state to have all four seasons is pretty amazing. Plus the diversity of the landscape.

Ironically the best coffee I’ve ever had is made in my state and I had no idea for years. WB Law Coffee and now that I know it’s made here I don’t know how known it is nationally. I’ve had random changes of plans upon seeing a sign in a store window for WB LAW lol. https://www.lawcoffee.com/
Edit- I say “made” loosely. I’d be very very surprised if it’s grown here

I was at a party where some friends were smoking back when I was a teen in the early 70’s. When I walked into our home, my dad called me on the carpet because of the odor I brought into the room. I said that I didn’t even know that you knew the smell! That’s when he told me about the weed he had in Vietnam.
