back to cold espresso coffee again!  

If you don't mind it cold it would make no difference I guess but I want it hot and I'd forgotten how easily I get involved in what's going on here. That's why I was absent. I didn't feel like fun and couldn't bring myself to join in again - until today

If it's not fun, I can see no reason to hang around here. I hope you'll find some fun this time around.

i myself, don't hang around as much as i use to.sometimes i can not think of enough to put on here at times.on top of that, i have not been putting a whole lot of discussions on here lately.

if that bear over there are here to do some foot work i dont think it was fun at all making you dizzy with his response makes your head ache a lot

I had forgotten that I get carried away.
Oh yes now you mention that, there's a need for re-enforcements! A lot of stuff hanging on in there that appears to have been missed

that's right miss d. since you just came around and i think you are trying to feel the hang of it again, i'll do the work for you.!! it would be my pleasure.

yes Ritz I believe we did say something about being in the same time zone and it was very late (or very early depending on points of view) when we were STILL here that time. It is soooo absorbing

Hi carmela!
Well the best way to sum it up is this:
THE SENSORIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A CUP OF AUTHENTIC ESPRESSO
Real Italian espresso is topped by a creamy head that is hazelnut-coloured, tending towards dark brown with tawny hints. The aroma is intense, featuring floral, fruity, toasted and chocolaty notes. The flavour is round, consistent and velvety. The acidic and bitter tastes are balanced, without little or no astringency.
The general sensorial characteristics of coffee (espresso and non) are separated into VISUAL, OLFACTORY, GUSTATIVE and TACTILE. So true! The rest of the article which is very explicative can be found here:

The hotter the better and cold is just not the same!

Hi Diana, that sounds very good and complicated to make..I hope to try some one day..

No it's not difficult after years of practice

Haven't got round to paper plates yet but I do know where you're going
Nothing worse than getting up to a sink of day before dishes to wash up!

Hi doubleloveyou!
Yes I've made it back today That's how I discovered that my coffee was hot for the past three weeks and once I get back here that pleasure goes
Glad I'm in good company with this addiction though!

Hope the combination of tea, coffee and myLot is not too stressful for you

Just like me carinio because there are so many things to get involved in

I sometimes forget to remember what I forgot - it makes it easier that way

Yeah, Too bad if I remember that I forgot it a few days down the road.

That's it! Just like me - I come on for 10 minutes after lunch and I'm still here when it's dark heeheee
