Coffee

Well, I went and overdid it on the coffee last night. A few of us went out to a Lebanese restaurant, and of course there was Lebanese coffee on the dessert menu. lebanese coffee is pretty uch as strong as Turkish coffee, but has a few spices added to the mix - not as much as Moroccan coffee (mmmm....) but still pretty strong stuff. What was unusual in this restaurnat was that instead of just bringing along the little shot-glasses of coffee, the waiter brought out the cups, then brought out the coffee pot and poured our drinks - and then left the stil half-full pot on the table! In a moment of madness I did a couple of refills. By about 4am last night I was really starting to regret doing that..... The last one was especially bad, was so thick you could actually feel the coffee grounds on your teeth after. Powerful stuff!
