Two skinny mochas, one grande, one venti, half-caf, no whip, no foam, extra hot. (Or something like that... it's been a while.) <br /><br />My cousin added cinnamon to an urn of coffee at a family party she hosted in the '70s. It was especially unusual back then. I thought it was good. When we were leaving, my father muttered to me in front of her house, "What the hell did she put in the coffee?!?" "Cinnamon, Dad." "Cinammon? Who the hell puts cinnamon in coffee?!?"<br /><br />I'm rambling and I haven't even had coffee this morning!Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-89243439024199717092011-06-11T07:25:16.600+02:002011-06-11T07:25:16.600+02:00"Jerry and I have been living on the West Coa..."Jerry and I have been living on the West Coast way too long and get carried away with our coffee orders."<br /><br />You can say that again. While reading this all I could think of was that scene in the movie "LA Story." You know the one. You live it.<br /><br />I had a hard time (not really) during my 17 years in California. I like coffee. Black. Nobody makes good black coffee because they have to make it way too strong to stand up to all the crap they add to it. Like chocolate. And cinnamon (really? Cinnamon in coffee?).<br /><br />So I was a coffee at home kind of guy. And Seattle's Best made a decent one. And there was this little caré run by Mexicans in the lobby of my office building and they did a good black coffee.<br /><br />Oh, now I'm rambling. I guess I don't need another cup! ;)wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-58730095505943844212011-06-10T21:26:04.186+02:002011-06-10T21:26:04.186+02:00Mark: I'm told the horses are fighting, but.....Mark: I'm told the horses are fighting, but...Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-35667437307252997742011-06-10T19:20:17.976+02:002011-06-10T19:20:17.976+02:00Beautiful photos.

But, I think the only reason she'd do so would be to keep herself in the news so she can continue to command the millions she makes for personal appearances. And that makes me a little crazy. But, you know, I think I can see her from my house...<br /><br />J&L: I have been thinking lately about the "ignorance is bliss" (for me) concept of foreign politics. I look forward to a little of that. Spain, amazingly, is more socially (legally) progressive than the USA, which is refreshing.<br /> I already love Spanish cafe con leche, so I'll be very happy. No connoisseur here (that would be too much like cooking).<br /><br />Bob: Agreed.

These abnormal weather conditions are really taking their toll right across the world.<br /><br />It is always amazing how much variation there can be in making a cup of coffee. It sounds to us as if you are connoisseurs and we do hope that the Spanish coffee will pass muster.<br /><br />The political situation right across Europe is fragile at present with right-wing groups increasing in strength in many countries. Perhaps one always swaps one set of problems for another, but at least in a foreign land one has less understanding of what exactly is going on.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-15086308452219179542011-06-10T09:19:18.431+02:002011-06-10T09:19:18.431+02:00I'm sad to see the flooding but enjoyed your t...I'm sad to see the flooding but enjoyed your tour of a city I don't know.

But it will be niece to live with someone else's politics for a while. I wonder if Sarah Palin can see Spain from her backyard. And aren't we glad Paul Revere rang the bells all those years ago to warn the British. Yes, I am very happy to get some more distance from Sarah Palin.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-28169780202999140532011-06-10T05:42:58.718+02:002011-06-10T05:42:58.718+02:00Spanish and European politics are just the same as...Spanish and European politics are just the same as back home, the only thing lacking [thank God] is Sarah Palin, unless she makes an extra stop on her way to Sudan.
