It’s a gray overcast day here in Texas and those types of days always make me think of the past. Not in a melancholy way just a remembering.
Ever go into a coffee shop and listen to people order? You may know what some of the drinks are, but maybe not all. I remember several years ago when a friend took me to Hialeah outside of Miami. We stopped by a tiny restaurant and walked inside.
My friend ordered for the two of us as I didn’t speak Spanish. In short amount of time two steaming shots of espresso were placed before us. My friend said something in Spanish and chugged the espresso down like a shot of tequila.
I followed and my love affair with coffee was born. I had had coffee before, but nothing like this. The flavor was intense, hot and delicious. I was hooked. Since that time I have explored the various tastes of coffee.
