I dunno..

I'm still bothered by the having had the worlds worst latte.. it wasn't only a bad latte it was bad coffee..

I'm annoyed and offended....

Im really thinking about taking back some beans and a grinder and explaining the concept of espresso grind....

Then move on to the idea of the foamed milk being added to the shot rather than the reverse..

I don't want to talk about the whipped cream...... which wasn't cream but rather some cheap crap in a can.. which had no business in my latte anyway..

Unngh.. he was foaming the milk and all I could think of was its getting close, then he dumped it into a cup before it was done... Ive foamed a bit of latte milk now and then... I know what it sounds like.....

Notice I said milk? Not half and half? There is a reason most barristas use 2% or nonfat.... it prevents a pudding skin from forming on ones latte...

I do things for my own pleasure....and manage to have some standard of professional quality, if I don't get results I want on my own, I find someone to show me how via bribery, corruption or whatever, assuming I can't figure it out....

Too bad, cause the place was cute or at least could be... I eyed the work area.. and Im thinking. I could make money it has the magical 4 tables..


First thing... make real baked goods, a nice classsic cheese cake or ameretto type, macadamia nut cookies. .. cinnamon rolls or Danish, bar cookies, even chocolate truffels on date night.. which have a better shelf life than Danish.... a different thing every day of the week...

Food ...I can handle.. same rules.... a chalk board outside different special every day..so I don't get twisted...

Followed by no plastic anything anywhere, including the table cloths, cups, light fixtures or anything else... there's no plan.. I just get really interested in little cafes, it fits with my habits and cook-book/recipe writing...



Evidently  that latte pissed me off.... Hahahaha

I doubt I'd make the cut... my cooking is about dinner, not the current minimalist trend, decorating a plate with dots of deconstructed food goop surrounding a celery star fish and carrot curl...

I like bread, stuff on sticks, things that are hot, prolly dangerous, lead to excess and make you crave them... like pizza, BBQ, Chili, Salsa, cornish pasties, and salads the size of a dinner plate.. and critters.. I don't care if they have, fur, fins, feathers, scales, shed their skins..live on or under rocks....

I bet fresh pasta with a shrimp would be killer... then there is mushroom raviolli... cheese ravioli, sausage ravioli..spinach ravioli with maybe planked salmon and asparagus wrapped in Prosciutto..caprese salad.. foccacia.. pesto..

Just thinkin.... it would be interesting..
