A mug of piping hot Ethiopian coffee is to hand while I contemplate the rest of the day.
Scotch in one hand, a latte in the other. Time to make something spicy. Thai, Indian or something simple, such as chili con carne, using veal. Choices...
Earlier today, I spent an hour or two preparing a delicious chilli con carne, and it then spent the following six hours talking to itself in the Rangemaster oven.
But, enjoy your Scotch (which one?) and latte.
A pot - Le Creuset - of freshly ground, freshly prepared Kenyan coffee. Lovely.
Some nice chamomile. Just got access to internet after a few days of little to no connectivity. Rain cleared up days ago but we had rain Saturday, Sunday and this evening. Grr.
I had a half bottle of JW laying around. I decided to drink that to keep warm. Not to waste the good stuff. I had an itchy chest that day. The chili and scotch helped. I had some scotch peppers, and added those in last. Very spicy but very flavorful chili.
Sipping lemon, ginger and honey green tea. I've had a scratchy throat for a few days.
Hot drinks - scorching hot, not warm, tepid, or lukewarm, but hot - can offer some remedy for that condition.
I have already had a coffee - Ethiopian - at home, followed by a most welcome double espresso at the railway station.
Apart from a piping hot Ethiopian coffee before I left the house early this morning, - followed by a most welcome double espresso at the train station - most of the coffee I consumed for the rest of the day could best be described as rather underwhelming.
Indeed. I learned that trick a couple of years ago. It does help, especially with a splash of drink. Hot drinks are also fantastic during the summer. Makes you feel cooler. I picked that up from a travel show years ago.
A nice start to a well earned day off.
My preference is a newspaper, not an iPad, but the coffee looks lovely.
Actually it's my new Kindle. Treated myself to the new Kindle Oasis. Expensive but lovely.
Enjoy it.
Personally, I far prefer reading a 'hard copy' than reading with a Kindle or iPad, although I do understand the arguments of convenience - especially when one is travelling - in favour of these portable devices.
On topic, my Ethiopian coffee was quite lovely.
Caught up on some sleep. Now for some espresso. Have a good weekend.
Same to you. A wet and windy day here in the north west of England. Coffee will be required!
Bought some superb Kenyan coffee yesterday - I still have Ethiopian, here, at home, but it seems that it may be out of season in some of the pelicans where I tend to buy it.
Just finished a cup of valerian and lemon balm tea. Heading back to bed. No rain here for a while.
Sipping a piping hot afternoon coffee. This is Ethiopian coffee, served with hot (organic) milk, soothing, warming and restorative, perfect for a dreary, overcast day.
