I'm finally making progress with my coffee machine. We bought one of those fancy things that grinds, froths, steams and generally dances the can-can while making a cup of good espresso based coffee. I've been learning about beans, regions, roast strengths, grinds, water hardness and all those good things.
At first, the coffee wasn't so good. Now its getting really good and I've been involved in mucho experimentation. I've also discovered the joys of latte. Ahh...latte! I can now make a great skinny decaf latte (I never thought words such as those would be uttered from my mouth) and am drinking far too many of them. I was drinking full-caf before and wound up with palpitations! I've even bought some great sugar-free syrups and can now make vanilla & hazelnut lattes - I've become a coffeeholic!
Unfortunately, Janene doesn't like the coffee. She's sticking to Nescafe. What an insult! She has been away for about 2 weeks now though and she might appreciate the strides I have bade as a barista since she left.
Sounds like J & the kids are still having a good time in SA - ladies nights out, ice-skating, fun, fun, fun! J's preaching at our old homecell in Durbs tonight - I'm sure it'll go nicely. They're gonna be blessed.
I look forward to another boring weekend here alone in Dubai. Its got so bad that I even know the prices in the shops in the mall - nah, only joking. It's a good excuse to relax and unwind.
All for now, more soon.
Be jealous for my weekend has begun!
