Just finishing that vital first cup. Not iced coffee mind you. I don't like it. However, BITD when I was milking cows on a big farm near here, temperatures got down to 40 below zero F pretty often. Thick sheets of ice formed on the milking parlor walls that we couldn't get rid of until temperatures moderated. I got used to cold coffee. We all kept our cups thereof on the green metal shelf near the steps to the pit and it didn't stay warm long.
Our house is warmer than the milking parlor was back then, but not as much warmer as I might like it to be. However, I don't mind the chilly brew.
It does the job.
Ah I like my coffee hot! Will even reheat if it gets too cold!
ReplyDeleteI miss my wood heat, seems like a gas furnace just doesn't keep the house warm enough.
I'm not too fond of cold coffee (unless it's over ice with lots of sugar and cream or good dollops of sweetened condensed milk), but I sure do like that pretty coffee cup you have there. Did somebody you know and love make it for you?
ReplyDeleteShirley, I like it better hot, but I go so used to drinking it cold during decades of milking cows that I rarely notice when it gets cold. I do like wood heat although it is very hard to keep this monstrous house warm with it.
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, That is an antique cup of probable Japanese origin, that I acquired somewhere along the way as an antique and book dealer's daughter.
