A Sunday Cappuccino

April 1, 2007 by Nicole 39 Comments

Although nothing can replace the experience of enjoying a cappuccino with good friends at your favorite bar (or local Starbucks, if you don’t happen to live in Italy), sometimes it’s just as nice to sink down into your favorite chair, cradling your favorite green cup, savoring the smell of freshly brewed espresso that has filled the entire downstairs of your house, admiring your creation — the perfect, creamy froth, the faint dusting of cocoa powder just clinging to the edge of the cup, waiting to be swept into your mouth with the first sip, the heat from the cup warming your hands as you know it will also warm first your mouth, then your throat, and then your entire body as a sense that maybe your life isn’t so bad after all slowly takes hold of you. And then you take the first sip.

    It is thoughts like this that make food more than mere fuel. This is why we cook, why we savor tastes and presentations and meals shared with friends... And it's writing like this [and photography like this] that makes for the very special food blogs that keep bringing us back for more. Beautiful.

    Love your new look, Nicole! My husband asked me to to make the carrot soup you posted a while back, and it was really good.

    All you need to complete the picture is either the perfect partner to share the experience, or the perfect book, or the perfect campo where you can sit and people-watch! Lovely green cup.

    In Italy, cappuccino (and coffee latte) is consumed only up to 11 a.m, and Italians consider it very strange to ask for a cappuccino after that hour. If the beverage is requested in the evening, although not common, it should only be consumed after dessert, as the final part of the meal. But... I’m italian and I often order a cappuccino in the afternoon.. and suddenly everyone looks at me like i’m freaking crazy…but i love it ?
