This ring: how much coffee could I have bought with this ring?!

[Not Afraid]

All I have to add in sympathy is that I am out of Peet's and I bought a bag of Starbucks to tie me over. It's just not the same. But, it's better than no coffee - which is what I delt with yesterday.

What kind did you get? I really like the African blends.

I love Peet's, but I can't get it here. I bought a small amount while in CA and hopefully will be able to get some MA weekend. Major Dickinson's Blend.

It's Ethopian from their Black Apron line. Good, but not great. And, not Peet's.

Here in San Antonio the closest Peet's is in Denver, or Chicago, which means I need to get on a plane or join a cattle drive to get a good cup.

In the meantime, I found a Starbucks on the river and have been filling myself up with Maple Machiatos.

Perhaps, Mr. Lewis, you should open your own shop?

Bah, even Chock Full o' Nuts has gone trendy.

Gimme a ten cent cuppa mud in a dirty cup and a slice of blueberry pie.

For pie Pilgrim Cafe in Belmont. I'll bet they can do a cuppa mud in a dirty cup, but their pie is divine.

If we're talking good pie, we used to do Bepple's Pies. Really good pie with excruciatingly bad service. Now they're gone.

But I'm not talkin' good pie. I'm talking the stuff that sits on the counter under a plastic lid on a cake tray next to the coconut cake.

My parents always favored nesselrode pie, which is, as one web site put it, basically instinct. As a child, this pie scared me. Must have been the rum.

You can get meat in the mail; you can certainly get coffee. I like most of the Peet's beans. What I don't like so much is the drip coffee that they serve that generally just tastes like it's been charred.

You can order Peet's online. I ordered it and had it shipped to VA.
Now I have a Peet's just down the street a ways.

oops! I see Strangler Lewis beat me to the punch!
