Your kitchen looks good, but you look too thin. I think you need to add some meat to your diet. You're all skin and bones!<BR/>-take care buddy :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335244397807202721.post-23827888464615674102007-11-01T13:39:00.000-06:002007-11-01T13:39:00.000-06:00William:There was a piece in, maybe, National Geog...William:<BR/><BR/>There was a piece in, maybe, National Geographic, a while back about JBM coffee. The author went to a coffee plantation owned by a guy who refuses to sell his coffee to the Blue Mountain marketing agency (he says they screw the farmers and make a fortune off of them--sound familiar). The guy who wrote the article said it was the best coffee he ever drank in his life. <BR/><BR/>I had some at Balducci's in NYC back in 1985. The fellow who poured it told me about it and when I asked him the price, he said, "$36, the pound." I'm guessing if Balducci's hadn't gone out of business the price today would somewhat higher than that which you quoted. <BR/><BR/>Are you familiar with the very expensive Tea shop near Greenwich Village? It has a scottish name I think but is owned by a chinese family. There is a tea shop in Newburyport, MA called "Sloe and Licorice". It's owned and operated by Bill Silliker. If I can find a link I'll shoot it along.<BR/><BR/>demcommieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
