since i'm drinking alot of espresso these days (thanks to eli), i wanted to see more about the process of making coffee. the new york times posted an article & slide show yesterday, "From Cherry To Cup". also see counter culture coffee for more on high quality coffee and cupping. the photo above: A cherry, the fruit that contains the coffee bean, at Las Golondrinas farm, in the mountains of Nicaragua.wanna learn more about coffee and take classes? check out the fall curriculum at joe in nyc.
and because i'm drinking a wonderful cappuccino right now, here is one of eli's poems. we were discussing the movie the nanny diaries and his reaction to it... et voila:
Dog Walkers
It's amazing
How many people
Are making a living
Walking dogs in this town.
The principle is simple:
People get dogs
So they will be less lonely
So they can show them off
So they can play parents for a while
But most of the time
They pay other people
To walk them, feed them
And baby-sit them
Every time they are going away.
It's amazing
How many people
Are doing the same
With their real kids.
