Delegates at South Carolina’s secession convention decreed that “an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery” and protested that Northern states had failed to “fulfill their constitutional obligations” by interfering with the return of fugitive slaves to bondage. - D…

Is that why fancy bar spoons have twists on the handle?

Or, get a coffee-solution that makes an espresso-like base. I use an Aeropress, but mokas do the same.. Make it hot, espresso-style, and then add ice cubes. Mine makes a single serving of perfect iced coffee in about a minute with virtually no cleanup.
