You're right, and I think there might be additional health benefits from adding it in, too!

I confess my comment wasn't my real opinion, but I'm sure that's what my grandmother would have said. She was always very concerned with appearances.

My actual answer: I have spent time in Dixie and drank a fair bit of chicory coffee. At that time I also smoked like a chimney so I wonder now how much I was able to smell and taste much of anything back then. I liked it fine but it was never my favorite go-to.

Since I quit smoking and live a generally more healthy life I find I have become a bit of a purist. I like my coffee to be coffee, as there is so much variety just within coffee that adding in other things seems to complicate the issue beyond what I'm willing to deal with.

But again, no shade at anyone who likes it.

I think intelligence/personality are about even for me. I think I would not have rejected my wife if she were average intelligence, but the fact that she has a science background, and the quick way she thinks are part of the package that I fell for. So I will say very important, but not the most important.

Edit: I was going to try to add to the comedy but I feel like it's not actually funny. I get the irony, but I started thinking how I'd feel if I had a family member or friend that died in such a dumb way.

Well he's in the arms of Jesus now. If there's any lesson here it's use a damn holster, people, and take your safety training seriously.

You guys are making jokes but we can all be grateful he died free with his 2nd amendment rights intact. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Ok, but there like it used to be was better than there is now, and if here could be like there used to be now it would be better than there is now and its my opinion that if here now was like there then it would be slightly better than here is now and I don't think thats too much to wish for.

I'm interested and curious to see what happens with such a setup. I wonder if I will end up on the ban list as a result of mostly participating in the conservative community and being contrary.

You are wrong. Olives are great.

Ivxferre has good advice. My go-to is 3 cups flour, 1/4 c lard/butter and 1 C warm water gets me 12 tortillas depending on size, I get about 7-8 inch. I prefer em pretty light and thin, I don't like the Cozumel thick kind. 4 cups flour/ 1 1/3 cup water, etc. to make 16. I can't say what the measurements are by weight, but I don't spoon my flour into cup measure, I scoop and level.

I usually make the dough and let it rest while I take a break and do something else so it's not such a laborious process. If you can get a partner to work the pan while you roll it can go very fast. The more times you do it the faster you will get, it's always slow the first time to try a new thing.
