The Art of Dutch Coffee Drinking
Ok, this might be a weird blog post, but I think it's worth some bloggage. So about two/three weeks ago I was over for supper at a MAF couple and a Dutch visitor was there too. So after supper we had some coffee and I added my suger and cream. Since there was nowhere else to put the stir spoon, I left it in my cup and continued drinking my coffee thinking nothing of the situation. The Dutch visitor asked if I was of Dutch heritage. Confused, I told him I was. He said that he could tell because I kept my spoon in my cup and, pinning it down with my thumb, continued to drink my coffee. So folks, there you have it. You learn something new every day, even when you're in Africa. So deck yourselves out with orange, eat some boeterkoek and have yourselves a good cup of coffee.
And I think a celebration is in order. Since November, this site has had over 500 hits. And that's not just me pushing refresh all night either. There have been hits from Canada, UK, United States, Portugal, Hong Kong, Uganda and an undiscloded country. Thanks for reading my site. It's a joy to update it when I know people are checking it so regularly.
