One of the stops when hanging with David yesterday was Hashem's. It was such a treat to be back. I guess you could say, it's the first roaster I knew.

When I was in young I used to make Lebanese Coffee with Cardamom, using an Ibrik. Then at UT, my Pop would send it to me and I would make it for my friends before we went out for the night. I loved those care packages because these would also contain Cashews and Pistachios from Hashem's, too. They're not just deadly with coffee, what they do with nuts is completely soignée.

David is very gengerous. We stopped in here to grab a bunch of stuff: Almonds for Anne, Yemen Coffee for me (sans Cardomom as I kind of lost my taste for it), Cashews and Pistachios for my Mom & Pop. They'll send it directly to Texas, another care package from home. Thanks, David.
