Coffee

[evulik]

ok, so I took it wrong. lucky me that I was not trying it yesterday I guess that I know now what you mean. I never tried it, because the word sour is simply sour... but I will. if I am lucky, might be it this week wish me luck people. If I am not here by Thuesday, you know what happened

[evulik]

oh Sancho that is so beautiful... like a anthem for "coffee member club". what about this? just created...

bonjour coffee,
my dear friend,
for your presence,
I am so glad.

you are the beginning,
sometimes the end,
you are the meaning,
of very long day.

you bring the best of best,
and I would like to thank you,
I feel I need psycho test,
but I know I deserve you.

Hello Eva , what about not addicted people? Coffee is yucky lol. In any form or state or whatever. On the other hand hot choc ... that's a completely different matter .

I second that... I don't like cofee...Sometimes I think i should drink some to keep me awake, but I can't force myself. And in Italy this is quite strange, everybody drinks coffee all the time... Even if Italian cofee is so strong that is drunk in tiny cups and most people can't stand more than 1 or 2 a day...otherwise they'd never sleep. In England I drunk some coffee cos to me it was like the drink that sometimes children have for breakfast here, that is 1/4 coffee and 3/4 milk... That way I can stand coffee, the Italian way it's just too bitter.

oh I know what you mean. the tiny tine cup ... and the feeling when you take one or two... warm spreading your body... you feel very hot, suddenly cold and hands shaking ....
the children coffee... something like this I drink. but more like 1/2 coffee and 1/2 milk... I love it...

Eva, C'est Bon - C'est Bon!

Let's make up a song about red-red wine next. It's all those little indulgences in life that make it worth living eh?

I think the Italians have the right idea with respect to coffee. Here in the US, half the time you get a little styrofoam cup of coffee and it looks like a clear beef broth. I mean you can see the bottom of the cup through the coffee. That's just coffee flavored water. You know, what's the point?

merci beaucoup actually that poem was created for one garcon long time ago

for the red wine? (are you french?) I had a discussion about red wine with my french friends recently. I love it by the way, when having horrible day (as today) I just sit in the evening with a glass of wine, listen to relaxing music, e.g . Le peuple migrateur (if that's the correct spelling) or Norah Jones and I feel great... we usually mix it here with cola or sprite. 1/2 or 1/3 of cola and 2/3 wine. depends on person. have you ever tried it? yummy

LOL You have such little faith in us. You know us too well.
I'm interested in trying just to see what it is. But I'm crossing my fingers that your sour cream is the same as my sour cream, because I've never heard of it being used for salad. Salad dressing here is usually olive oil with vinegar.

But here salad dressing is different: oil (corn, olive etch), sour-cream, mayonez. And they're rather different in taste. There's one Russian famous, tasty salad "stolichniy" (table), sour-cream is used in it. If you want to feel different salad taste then try it.

Sancho, I read your anthem. It reminds me English-teaching book by Excersley. There was one thread about in which country you can drink the best coffee and tea. And mr. Priestley's student-Pedro who travelled all over the world put last comment and his teacher agreed with him. His comment was like: "The best coffee I've ever had was in Turkey, the best tea was in England."

Ok, you forgot about Turkey.

Eva, good luck!
Hope to see you in safety here by Tuesday.

Well as I said I don't drink coffee so I don't care,but usually Italians are DESPERATE when they go abroad, about coffee! (as well as about food in lots of cases). When I went to London with some friends, they repeated every morning at breakfast that that coffee was like the one given to old people at the retirement house... We're used to having it strong, you know

[Sancho]

Koa, I know exactly what you're talking about. Infact, not long ago I was in London (actually Crawley, a small town near Gatwick Airport) and after eating a British meal - tastless chicken with tastless potatoes although yummy peas (the British do like their peas) I came up with a new saying:

When in Rome, do as the Romans...
When in England, eat at an Italian restaurant

Ravana, how in the world could I have left out Turkey; the country with possibly the greatest coffee lovers in the world? I'm going to add an entire verse dedicated only to Turkish Coffee.

LOL!!! ...

[Sancho]

Italian food is soooo gooood!

Eva, no m’am,

I’m not French, but I do like French Fries. Oh yes, also I like French Toast – with French Roast COFFEE! Yeah!!!

As for French Wine: C’est si bon. It is so good. There is nothing else in the world like a good Bordeaux. My wife likes to make a big pitcher of sangria with a bottle of French Beaujolais, 7-UP, and sliced oranges.

Hey, so your cola-red-wine idea gives me an idea for a new song:……. I hear ukuleles:

Tiny bubbles, in the wine
Tiny bubbles, make me feel fine
Tiny bubbles, make me warm all over

OK, so maybe that was Don Ho’s idea.

hello ravana,

I am in a hurry. just a small note - IT WAS DELICIOUS well, the whole family liked what I did, and if that's exactly what you've been talking baout ( I followed your receipt), I understand why you like it...
THANKS for tip.... I owe you one...

[ravana]

Hi Eva! I'm so glad... I was waiting for your comment scaring that you would dislike it.

addition adwise:
1.If you would like to do it again you can add it into milk instead of sour-cream.
2.before having it stir it.- I forgot to tell you.

sancho, Azerbaijan's meals are as delicious as Italian's, maybe more than.
