Cup of Coffee

I know this may offend some of you coffee gurus BUT I think I had my last cup on coffee in 1969.  It's a long story but I gave up coffee and haven't had a cup since, until last week.........

Linda and I  were leaving the clubhouse at Century Village when we saw  our neighbor, Rachael (I wish I could type it with her Jewish accent.)  She was going to get on the trolley and ride home.  Well, we offered her a ride and let her off at the elevator of our building, telling her we were going out to eat.  Well, we changed our mind and decided to just go on up to the condo.  As we climbed the stairs we met Rachael - again.  We told her that we had changed our minds about eating - and she jumped into action.  She invited us into her condo and insisted on fixing us something to eat.  (Have you ever tried to tell a little Jewish lady, "No?" Let me save you some time, it can't be done.)  Rachael fixed us a sandwich , some carrot cake and completed the meal with a cup of instant coffee. (Have I told you that I don't drink coffee.)  As we ate, she recounted her early life in a concentration camp, the loss of most of her family, her escape to Israel and her renting her bridal gown for $3.  What a wonderful time we had hearing about her life.  So, I drank the coffee!

Instant coffee is definitely a sacrifice,ugh! Unless she's Kosher, have her over for some scrambled eggs with Matza and cut up some King David salami with it.Serve with some good Lox and creme cheese on an onion bagel.
Honestly, good eats!
