Ignoranus... you are a bigoted asshole. We haven't finished half a
five pound bag of sugar in over 20 years... neither of us uses sugar
in coffee or anything else. Truth is you don't cook because you can't
cook... I'm positive that like most RFCers you live on fast food joint
drive thru... RFCers who constantly speak of eating at fancy schmancy
restaurants don't cook... if they knew how to cook they'd not be
eating that dumpster diver trash that they never post pictures of.
