This could potentially change how I ask for my coffee (or most anything else for that matter). “Shaken, not stirred” adds a whole new complexity.

Oh … that’s punny, and I think Dr Toon is right … time to switch to Nuclear … it doesn’t play mind games… it just out right smacks you.

Coffee Customer: “What’s the flavor of the day?”Barrista: “Kenyan Supreme.”Customer: “Is it Bitter?”Barrista: “Well, other than the fact that his girlfriend ran off with a Tanzanian, not so much.”

(Thanks, folks!! Two shows nightly at the Pacoima Rodeway Inn!!!)

Sorry to be pedantic, but the Colombian version of ajiaco (an absolutely delicious soup which is a cross-over between a corn chowder, a cream of three kinds of potato, and a chicken soup with pulled chicken meat, optionally topped with cream, capers, corn and avocado, and seasoned with “guascas”, an perfectly legal herb unknown to us) is from the Bogotá region, quite inland and high in the Andes. Cartagena is on the Caribbean coast. Those regions have completely different climates, cultures and gastronomy..That’s like saying “oh, you’re from Seattle? Can you give me a good recipe for gumbo?”

That’s one tall Columbian.

I’m wondering how long it will be until your basic cup of coffee doesn’t exist any more!

What about the French dressing?

So, now you have to specify the gender of your coffee?
