I wonder if this is where Hemingway got the idea for the cat houses that are all over the grounds of his home in Key West? Good stuff, Aunt Snow!

Must do in the next couple of days.<br /><br />But during my days in Greenwich Village in the 1970s, a cappuccino was always a cup of espresso plus a cup of steamed milk - steamed a little foamy, which was different than a cafe au lait, in which the milk was just hot, not foamy. Generally, no cinnamon or chocolate was served with the cappuccino, though if I remember correctly, the customer had the option of adding those flavors his or herself.Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681336164718681936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-68130215835613324402012-07-01T10:12:15.045-06:002012-07-01T10:12:15.045-06:00Oh, how lovely.Oh, how lovely.smalltownmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857871195417461235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-70124242915757496522012-07-01T07:26:51.344-06:002012-07-01T07:26:51.344-06:00Your lunch spot looks divine!

Now, have you had a "Spritz" yet?? (Pronounced "spreetz.")

It was slightly better than the average cappuccino you get at a Vietnamese hotel (=revolting) and totally covered in cinnamon. It reminded me of the cappuccino my mother used to order in posh coffee shops in New Zealand when I was a kid in the 80s. Since then, the fashion has changed a bit, and cappuccino in NZ usually comes with a dusting of chocolate. Which got us to wondering how cappuccino is served in Italy, where,presumably they know how to make it properly! <br />Do you think you could find out for us and report back?Xeomphohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702851923532595512noreply@blogger.com
