Come sit with me for awhile . . .
and see what I’m bringing to the table ®

Everyone says it’s all in the cup size. Oh please .   .  . stay focused people! Yes, yes I hear you tsk-tsking. We are talking different cups here. O k .   .   . take a deep breath .    .   . now slowly let it out. I’ll be here waiting for you all to compose yourselves. May I please proceed now? Thanks.

The espresso cup above has played host to many Italian, Armenian, and Turkish blends served up at the end of some of my hearty dinners. What better way to finish off a gathering of friends, than a touch of dessert, and espresso? Thanks to the person that just said cognac, a smoky port, or one of a list of after dinner liquors. Yes, yes, and yes to all of the aforementioned. I personally have garnered espresso cups in some of the most interesting of places. The one cup below is part of a set, found in a very old hardware store of all places, in the town of La Romana, Dominican Republic. Espresso sets (include saucers) can be had for pennies or many dollars if you are so inclined.

My friend and I meet for lunch every couple of weeks so as to stay connected to each others lives, while trying new restaurants. So having lunched, caught up, and laughed a whole lot, it was time to order our absolute must-have yummy frothy, hot cappuccinos. As with any new restaurant, interpretation is always up for grabs. Well, well, well .   .   . what a super surprise (as caught by my iPhone) .   .   . these very thick old fashioned soda-like glasses arrived with the most delicious, hot, frothy and yummy cappuccinos. When I think I’ve seen all that is out there .   .   . life has a way of throwing a few new twists my way.
