Marg and I had planned to get together for lattes after our vacations and catch up (we were both away for a few weeks in November). Yesterday was the day...my kitchen was the place!
I decided it was time to learn how to make lattes, and it wasn't all that complicated. If you have a good blender, you're in business! Steam two cups of whole milk; pour into blender together with chocolate syrup and blend on high until good and frothy. Pour good, strong coffee into bottom 1/3 of each mug...slowly pour in frothy milk. Top with whipped cream & sprinkle with cocoa or cinnamon if desired. Now sip with a good friend!!!! Then be ready to make another round or two of lattes, because you may still be sitting there a few hours later.

By the way, how was your vacation, Marg? We never had time to discuss it!
Well done my friend. Later I was thinking, Why didn't I take pictures of the angels and the Inukshuk?
ReplyDeleteMy head is still lifted high thinking of all the things we love to do most.
Have a wonderful sunny day my friend.
I asked for a tripod for Christmas...
Oh it does sound like a wonderful time. The thing that impresses me is that you actually take the time to sit and talk. It does seem like that is beginning to be a lost art.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to buy the goodies for that fruitcake this morning. I can't get it out of my head.
Marg . .About the tripod. We bought the little one that has the short legs that can be wrapped around branches. You never know where you'll want that picture of the two of you.
Now that sounds like so much fun...makes me extra glad that my bff Jacqui has moved down South to be close to us...what do I appreciate? My friends and a cup of hot Joe!
ReplyDeleteThat's all there is to it? Well, I just may have a real life friend or two that I need to catch up with. Seems as if between work and online community, blogging, and family, I have sorely neglected some folks. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDelete.... and if you pour first the milk and then the strong italian coffee on top of it, it tastes even better. I enjoy the latte macciato with and without a friend.
