Guest guest Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 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.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 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!"

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 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.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 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.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 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... ~*~Akiba~*~ Pragmatic Visionary ISIS!

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 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, n To: MSersLife Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 11:48:05 AMSubject: Re: Waffle Day (OT)/Coffee and Tea and real cream or milk HAHAHA That's TOO funny!

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 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.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 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…. T in WY " You get a wonderful view from the point of no return...
