Plus real cream (well, only in Newfoundland, where they don't seem to sell half-and-half), and the fridge working all the time to keep the cream fresh... :-) Uh, did someone ask about why I had so much stuff in my van??? Now why is this labeled NVC? Coffee is IMPORTANT in the life of the vanagonaut!
