probably, if I lived here long enough, the idea of sitting in a sukkah with a cafe hifuch and my computer plugged in and connected to wifi would start to seem normal and not amuse and please me so much. I have not lived here long enough for that yet to happen.
A sweet holiday so far, with a guest staying over for Shabbos, a couple of lovely, large meals, and starting to read a friend’s new manuscript. And today I got to shake my greens, which always makes me happy. My hands still smell like etrog.
Today, back into the chapter. But from a sukkah. Hah.
I am sitting in my sukkah with a nice cold Fresca, using the wireless access that radiates out from our house, with my laptop plugged in to the extension cord I ran over here this morning. I have never spent a day working in my sukkah before — last year Sukkot was just too cold and rainy in northern New England. It is awesome and I can’t stop grinning. 🙂
So I hear you, loud and clear! Chag sameach to you from this meadow-sweet patch of the Berkshires.
Perhaps I can be excused from this on the basis of being a tea drinker, but I had to search to figure out what a cafe hifuch is -I take it it means that there’s more of everything else in it than the coffee?
Cafe hifuch is when they put the espresso in after the steamed milk, instead of the other way around like in a cappucino. It’s just backwards/upside down is all.
OK, then, here’s the really stupid tea drinker question. Does it taste different if you put the milk in first? I know that it’s supposedly declasse to do it with tea, but it doesn’t taste different unless you put in so much milk that there’s no room left for tea.
I like it better. It’s more like a latte than a cappucino, but with some of the foam action. Maybe it’s just better because Israeli coffee is better than American coffee, I dunno.
