I want Zydeco Prince covers for my funeral. Perfect.

Big Lots sells a darker roast ground to an espresso/Turkish coffee fineness. It’s five bucks for 2lbs, some random no-name brand, and fucking perfect in both an aeropress (for an espresso-y cup) and French press (for a regular cup). It’s a damn revelation. It’s so good, after a couple of months, I can’t even drink the…

Yeah, from what I can tell he has probably cut them out for a reason. I’m going to hit my fourth anniversary of cutting off my mother this month. People want to blame Olivia “devil magic vagina” Munn, but I’m in the camp that thinks she probably just gave him some unconditional support and then he could see they are…
