RE: CLOSED - Coffee Conversation: EVENT 79 - (AUG 10- 12)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
My grandmother was a very traditional woman. She had 10 children and worked very hard to give them a good life. She had many rules and regulations that had to be followed to the letter, as they say.
One of those rules was to follow the cooking instructions in the kitchen. Whenever a visitor came to his house, he would send one of his sons to prepare the coffee. The instructions were exactly the same. One afternoon the visitor arrived and called my mother, who would have been 12 years old at the time.
But before my grandmother could say the first word, the visitor interrupted and gave the instructions verbatim. Everyone already knew the script 🤭🤭🤭🤭 ..... From then on it was a joke that was passed down from generation to generation.
Funny! My granny made her coffee strong, always using the same method, I guess; I watched her from the dining room. But my mother, oh, despite she always used the same moka pot and the same coffee, the result was never the same 😄 It was like gambling.
Hahahaha ....coffee things! My mother says that the kettle for boiling water was made of red pewter with white polka dots. That's what made the instructions curious: take the red teapot with white polka dots and measure 2 cups of water..... The visitor already knew it by heart.
I was delighted to read this. My mom also had her own rules for making coffee and of course they are unique and exclusive instruments to them
