Re: Waffle Day (OT)/Coffee and Tea and real cream or milk

[Guest guest]

As am I. My father was born in Toronto.

Our mother made Tea in the continental

style every afternoon--often served with

breads or scones made by my father.

We did have coffee at breakfast and

at dinner. Me, I have coffee all day--

and sleep better than does any baby!And--get this--as we say here: the darker

the roast, the less caffeine there is in the brew!

So, if you really want to get all whizzed up, drink

perhaps, Columbian coffee.

I think I had best stop. And I detest artificial

"creamers!" Ugh! One of my Canadian cousins

was shocked to find that even in Canada milk is

now sold by percentage of butter fat (getting lower,

as it is here). He keeps saying, "Whatever happened

to Milk? In a bottle. With the cream on the top? Just

plain, Milk?!" He is a pharmacist; ought to know.

Love to you all, and especially to you, Reb and to ,

My father used to tell us--he owned a dairy farm

near Grosse Pointe, Michigan, where I spent my

first nine years--that non-fat or "skim" milk just

made one fatter, more milk sugar, and that it was

used as "slops" for the hogs.

I do occasionally sink to 1% and do not eat many

fats, but I do miss the "real thing!"

My grandparents had a farm, too. But they considered the unprocessed milk straight from the barn only a backup for emergency cases, the "real" milk was the one they bought in the store... Us grandkids, however LOVED the "emergency milk". Not that my grandparents would ever even consider skimmed milk, though, it's not even sold in Sweden anymore (since 1969). But you can buy the "real stuff" (with none of the fat removed, where the cream is still in, or rather on the surface of, the milk) in the stores here. It's labeled "oldfashioned". When it came to meat, however, my grandmother said nothing from the store could match the fresh meat from their own farm. love/Reb> >> > I think I am beginning to get it why most of > > Northern Europe drank tea, while the Italians> > and Greeks drank coffee--much earlier, of > > course.> > I am nuts about coffee with cream or milk,> > cheeses, all kinds and nuts, as in "tree nuts."> > O.K.

I grew up with coffee in the morning, and tea (with sandwiches) in the evenings. And both in-between... Our late evening tea (around 9 pm) was the one meal where the whole family was expected to show up (different schedules and activities made it impossibble to have the other meals in times that suited everyone), so I guess tea to me is still associated with togetherness... When I came home from school in the afternoons I would have either coffee or tea (I had a year or so where I could always make my little brother make it for me by daring him to prove to me that he could do it...ahh, the joys of younger siblings...). My cat was a tea lover, though, so if I made tea I had to guard the cup. One afternoon I had made myself a large cup of tea and a sandwich with liver paté (leverpastej) on it, and then the phone rang... When I came back my "sandwich" was a piece of bread where no one could have found any trace of either liver paté or butter, and my cat had her whole head in my cup (I said it was a LARGE cup), just finishing off the last of the tea... Well, at least someone enjoyed a freshly made afternoon tea that day...love/Reb> >> > I think I am beginning to get it why most of > > Northern Europe drank tea, while the Italians> > and Greeks drank coffee--much earlier, of > > course.> > I am nuts about coffee with cream or milk,> > cheeses, all kinds and nuts, as in "tree nuts."> > O.K.

when I came home in 1985 I started college the following January - I

started the college diet - well modified - hot tea - Dr Pepper -

chocolate - since my classes were all over campus and not always on

the first floor - it didn't bother my waist line

then sleep apnea hit in 1997

I still get my tea - and once a month a Dr Pepper - they only way to

get home after seeing my grand dogs

I was in trouble yesterday with them - I was too sick with the

migraine to make it last Sunday and they let me know it - well they

did come around - but they made their point

I do remember Pensacola Wings of Gold

I have a soft spot in my heat for Marines and 10th Mountain - good guys

besides I like tomcats

HAHAHA That's TOO funny!

My cat is also a mooch. I have to be careful of what I leave out. I KNOW if I left out liverwurst it would be gone in a flash... She has a bag of treats and I will often enter the kitchen and see her there sitting near it, staring at it, as if she could open the bag with her kitty-willpower...

Fortunately, my four wolf-dogs live with friends now.

But they will eat anything they can get to, and love

both tea and coffee and, of course, milk!

All of our cats did not hesitate to just dive into

our food. The nerve! Although, if one reads the

ingredients on dog or cat food, one can scarcely

blame them--they know what is good: organ meat!

Love to you all, cats, dogs, parrots, too,

When Daylight Savings Time was first discussed

when we were in Michigan, my father, who was usually

the soul of good cheer, suddenly frowned, and said,

"Won't change when the cows need to be milked."

All too true.

Love to you all,

  Oh, yes, that was

the Good Stuff – the kind you had to shake the cream back into before you

poured.

Remember those gallon

rectangular glass jugs orange juice used to come in?  That’s what Grandma

used for the milk (and they were saved and washed and returned and reused until

finally broken).  She had one little Jersey cow amongst the mixed-breeds, and that Jersey’s

milk would be almost 1/3 cream in the jug……yyuuummmmmmmmm….
