Not my fault. I was going to do my blog last night, but Internet usage wasn't available at my hotel, due to local weather.
I think the reason I haven't been cooking, is because I have lost my appetite . I go in spurts like this, lose my appetite for 3 or 4 days and then its back. I could lose weight if it lasted for more than 3 or 4 days. I don't know what brings it on.
But I'll be just fine, just fine.
Anyway, I've just started reading this book. If you can find this book, read it. And it won't be sold on the Internet on my website, until I'm done with it. The name is Life Is Meals by James & Kay Salter. The book is everything I want to do. It is filled with lots of food facts, which I will include now in my blogs.
The coffee tree, a small evergreen with fragrant white flowers and dark red pods, each containing two beans, is thought to be native to Ethiopia, and East Africa remains a producer behind South America, where Brazil is the leader. The beverage was made of the roasted, crushed beans and probably developed in Arabia. It is then moved northward to Egypt and Turkey where it became essential to daily life that in Constantinople, denying a wife her coffee gave her grounds for divorce. When it arrived in Europe and the Americas in the 1600s, it was the thick, unfiltered liquid still served in Turkey, Greece, and the Middle East. Gradually, as it travelled, its preparation was adapted to the taste of its public by filtering or adding milk, sugar, or flavorings.
Always valued for its stimulating effect, coffee contains more caffeine than any other drink. There are about 110 to 150 milligrams of caffeine in a cup of coffee made by the drip method and 65 to 125 in a percolated cup, nearly twice the amount found in tea, Espresso, though stronger in taste because it is more concentrated, actually has less caffeine than regular coffee. Decaffeinated, which has been around for one hundred years, accounts for about twety per cent of coffee sales in the United States.
