This week seemed like a good time to knock this one off the list since we were in Waverly at the same time as one of Kevin's oldest friends, a guy who just happens to own a fancy coffee machine thingie. He ground the beans and pressed the grinds and I don't know what all. There was even some steaming of milk involved. It looked complicated. The end result was this:
He and his wife Kjellrun watched me nervously sniff at it before taking a tentative first sip. Here's my "Yes, it's beautiful but it's still coffee" face as I go for this first sip:
I'd like to say it changed my life and I will join the ranks of adults everywhere who love coffee, but . . . no. I gave it a good effort. I'd say I had ten swallows. That's trying, right?
My sister-in-law really wanted me to try again, so she gave me some "doctored" coffee -- flavored coffee PLUS about fifteen shots of flavored cream. Yeah, it wasn't as strong, but I could still taste the coffee.
I'll stick with the kids and drink orange juice for breakfast.
I'm with you. Not a coffee girl either :-). Way to be open to trying it!
