I'm rolling a Cuisinart burr grinder from Bed Bath and Behind that makes it all very easy. But I am no stranger to the charms of the higher end pro ground bag. If you just keep it sealed up tight you can keep the God in. I try to balance food snobbery with the pain in the ass factor too.

I am once again thinking there might be something in this Jesus thing after all. I must assume, Curtis, you do not believe that Jesus was God. Christmas therefore is not the celebration of God's birthday as a newborn infant. If I have this right--No need to respond. You certainly make me think
