@CindyWeinstein@zirk.us honoring the good things of coffee for the coffee day: 1- growing up as a sheltered Mormon whose religion prohibits "hot drinks," I had my first coffee at 15 years old from a circle k convenience store. Loaded with creamers. I brought it to the counter and they didn't id me, my naivety about the limits of religion had me thinking that they wouldn't sell this item to me without an ID, like tobacco. The coffee tasted like liberation. 2- long after leaving religion I came back to coffee, settling in with a caramel macchiato as my favorite. It took me years to break out of the sugared coffees before realizing that I really prefer a breve sans sugar. (and the occasional afogato, which I kept forgetting the name of until I realized that I-forgot-o the name sounds like afogato) 3- spending new years in a coffee grove growing in the north of Thailand. The quiet peace of coffee shrubs growing amid banana and papaya trees and all of the old growth trees above us all. This amazing magical bean that brings me joy and focus, grows delightfully right from the Earth, her gift to us each morning. #coffee #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #blog #BlessedConsciousLife

@CindyWeinstein@zirk.us #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings Thanks for the alert about national Coffee Day! 1) As a kid in #Venezuela, I remember my parents opening a can of coffee with a key that was soldered loosely to the lid. Insert the end of a strip scored into one end of the cylinder and turn the key until the strip was all rolled around the key to get to the coffee. (I think a brand from New Orleans with chicory in it had the same system.) 2) In college, on a contraband hot plate, making espresso in a two-stage pot for classmates who’d never seen anything like that. 3) In #Spain as a teenager on an exchange, amazed at friends whose breakfast was a bowl of coffee with milk into which they dipped a roll spread with Nutella. Genius! (Was that just my friends, or was that a thing?)
