Live and learn! 🙂 🙂
But first: coffee. 😀
You make instant coffee look so good, C. Did you make it? 🙂
No, I didn’t his was at a cafe in Tel Aviv. I don’t like instant coffee, but I agree that it looks good when presented like this.
Fascinating etymology 🙂 I think this should go under “idleness” category or maybe “whiff” or even “jaunty” 😀 Is that coco on top?
No, it’s nescafe (miracle coffee) on top.
Blah, instant coffee unmoistened on top. It only looks good 😀
I agree. I never drink instant coffee. (When I’m in Israel I always drink my coffee upside down.)
What’s an upside down coffee?
It’s basically the Israeli way of saying cappuccino.
Kool!
The article that I link to in the post has a lot of etymology about coffee. I think you’ll find it interesting, because you’re a bit of an etymology nerd like myself. 😎
I am more of an etymology nerd than yourself 😛
You’re absolutely right!

It looks like my favorite “cafe afookh” — sorry don’t have a Hebrew alphabet on my computer, the “upside down” coffee that made me a dedicated coffee drinker. When I lived there, we used to laugh and say “it’s a miracle we HAVE coffee! ” 🙂
Upside down is my favorite too. ☕
Feels like taking a sip 🙂

I had a Bible prof in undergrad who joked that if it were not for coffee then he would be a Mormon. Coffee is a blessing (especially those Fundies that aren’t allowed to drink alcohol).
Hehe, reminds of one time when a friend and i was invited to a colleagues mormon wedding. We were both atheists and didn’t know much about mormons at the time. At the wedding we asked for some alcohol:
“No, we don’t drink alcohol.
Ok, some coffee then.
No, we don’t drink coffee.
Well, uuuh. A coke then.
No, we don’t drink that either because it has caffeine in it.”
We didn’t stay there for too long. 😀
