This is the hot mocha “signature coffee” at a place called, “Nine One Coffee” I enjoyed with Brian while we were out running errands this morning. I have discovered I LOVE the art associated with the hot drinks, and, surprisingly also love the cold varieties of a lot of these, given the heat and humidity here. Brian has a seemingly unending series of coffee places he likes, so I spend my days grinning like a nut as an ‘adventure’ uncovers another one! 😋
I like the art SO much that I always smile and tell the server how pretty I think the design is. Brian says that I shouldn’t do this – should just drink, THEN bow and say, “thank you” as we’re leaving. I refuse, though, and the servers seem to like what I am doing.
How could one NOT compliment the server on designs this pretty?
We snarfed down these cookies before I started my stricter low carb diet…
And shared a warm seed-covered bagel with cream cheese inside…
I think this one was when we were in Laos at the coffee bar where the stray white cat slept on a table between shops.
A beautiful ‘swan’ in your coffee cup. Almost too pretty to mess up by drinking it.
I really look forward to our ‘adventures’ that Brian works so hard to provide. One day it’s coffee – another day a lady who hand crochets tote bags – and today was talking about taking my sock with a hole in the big toe to a lady nearby who repairs things. (I told him I thought I only had ONE sock needing this, and that I could fix it with a teeny tiny sewing kit. He said I would be supporting the local economy if I brought the sock to the woman. At least I’ll check to make sure I don’t have other socks in need of repair…

Just keep working on it. You do great when you write out the pronounciations. Maybe have Brian record it on your phone or such and you can practice with that?

I’m planning to do that. I’m also planning to take Thai lessons when I get my hearing aids and things tame down a bit. Thanks for the link.

Sure! And I learned something too! I have written a few times about how nearly every culture and/or faith, uses prayer hands. And I didn’t know it made a difference where the hands were placed! This is so cool!

I would also compliment the coffee artisans! Beautiful!
And did you ever say what brought Brian to live there?

He lived in China for a few years, learning Mandarin. His friend moved here before Brian did and told him how wonderful the people were here, so Brian moved here and learned to speak Thai.
