jonesin'

how much do i really like that espresso don schoenholdt of gillies made up for me last week? enough that i looked at it this morning and realized i had already drunk 4/5 of it!

this surprises me, because it's so simple. normally, i would expect it to have 3, 4, even 6 beans. the max orsini espresso gold i loved so much was a 6-bean blend.

but this little espresso don gave me is quite charming. although i have to be quick to say, it can't be drunk in milk -- nothing more than a macchiato, or else it fades. . .

but i'm now i'm struck by the idea of getting don to make up a 6-bean organic blend for me. i'll call it the pola negri blend.

i've always liked pola; but then i have a soft spot for the golden beauties of the silent era. and madame dubarry, a.k.a. passion is a great movie, even tho' it's very hard to see and the prints that exist are bad. as don himself says, "hey, pola negri was a tomato."

these coffee people, they get better and better. . .
