Thursday, August 25, 2005 Nothing really new to report. I had an awesome omelette today and discovered the secret to "drinking" Nescafe. I put "drinking" in quotes because "coffee" here is thusly served:
- A bowl with a spoon is presented
- Sweetened Condensed milk is poured in
- A spoon or two of coffee crystals is gingerly placed on top
- Hot water is poured over, and mixed with the spoon
- Consumption takes place in the manner of soup (spoon brings liquid to mouth)

It's a bit bizzare, but damn... it's actually really good if you have a crap load of the sweetened condensed milk. It's sort of like hot liquidy coffee flavored ice cream. Went down well with my awesome omelette.

Speaking of omelettes, I'll have to go ahead and say that while my French speaking is coming along nicely... my spelling is atrocious. In an earlier post I spelled marché marchet. I have no idea how to spell omelette. It's not my fault though, it's the French that can't spell... not me =P

In any case, I'm slowly running dry of topics to discuss. Now is the time my loyal readers for you to comment and ask questions. Click below on the words "comments" and ask me anything, really. I can only go on so much about my life!
