Around here, we called Braniff "The Largest Unscheduled Airline In The World".

Braniff used to serve the best coffee I ever tasted. And if I knew what it was, that's what I'd buy today.

Bird and everyone.........I purify the water systems on our birds, along with all mx on all the passenger doors. Take it from someone that cleans the filter bowls................don't drink the water on an airliner. Drink water out of a can only. I don't drink coffee...............so I have no problem on flights. Even with clean water systems on board, the water comes from the airport's water pipes. Why take a chance?
hugs, Brandi

Brandi, best I can remember, I never drank any water on an airplane that didn't have some ice and scotch in it.

You drank the coffee...............the coffee makers are plumbed into the a/c water system. Scotch and water? That reminds me when I went to Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche...............I didn't drink the water, but with ice in my Tequila. The worm died in the bottle, so any bugs in the ice where killed on thawing out of the ice!

Heck, you Texans probably think that ground up Mesquite tastes good.

Close, mesquite bean coffee does taste good, and like rich expensive coffee. ��

Speaking of mesquite, It is very hard to beat a steak cooked of mesquite.

I have some mesquite beans out there now. I need to try that if the cows and deer didn't eat them all. Do you have to roast them?

Does anyone else drink Youpon Tea. The indians called it the Black Drink. It's a dark green tea with a kick. It's the only caffeine plant around and the indians used it before they went to battle.

The very best is Post Oak wood. That is the coals that Snow's BBQ in Lexington uses to get their award winning flavor. SHHHH don't tell anyone.
Scroll down about half way to see the wood and the coals.

Go here, lots of information. The beans must still be in the tree, can't pick them up off the ground. Yes, they need to be roasted but it is easy. The waiting list for this guys product is lengthy.
