I absolutely love the smell of it, but I just don't like the taste. And caffeine does not affect me at all. (There have been times when I wish it had, but I can fall asleep anywhere, any time.)<BR/><BR/>However, when we were in Europe, I was so taken with the after-dinner ritual of espresso and sugar that I observed, I ordered it a couple times while in Italy. Each time, it was fun getting the tiny cup and stirring in the sugar cube and inhaling the intoxicating aroma -- and then not so much fun taking a sip and remembering why I never drink the stuff.<BR/><BR/>Aside from all that, great picture, and I'd love to see the paintings that come from it.Generikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956298489608222478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772461330370913272.post-36363405504795922422009-03-24T16:33:00.000-07:002009-03-24T16:33:00.000-07:00Hey, Donna, dig in!

(It's half the fun of being there, G. I know Tom drinks coffee -- Peet's, right?) Coffee's different all over Europe, and they make all kinds of variations of it in the south. That's a cafe noisette (sp? I prefer the Italian name for it: cafe macchiato) and a cafe creme (which may or may not be identical to a cafe au lait) in the photo.ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311657745784284706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772461330370913272.post-14262200760687968432009-03-24T15:30:00.000-07:002009-03-24T15:30:00.000-07:00I never drink coffee, but that looks gooo-oood.I never drink coffee, but that looks gooo-oood.Generikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956298489608222478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772461330370913272.post-68614282883632060392009-03-24T12:52:00.000-07:002009-03-24T12:52:00.000-07:00so Ahab buddy, mind if I do a painting from it too...so Ahab buddy, mind if I do a painting from it too?Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13334579762393122255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772461330370913272.post-52507288208919518792009-03-24T11:48:00.000-07:002009-03-24T11:48:00.000-07:00What Donna said.
