Aren't these pictures great? This last picture has a caption that I want to include (from her blog)

"After I finished this post, I remembered this little antique coffee grinder that belonged to my mama..SHE didn't use it...bought her ground coffee from the market. She probably got this at a sale somewhere. She loved THRIFTING, too...and SHE taught ME well !" - BJ

So... I hope you enjoyed this Coffee Friday... Please send your pictures for future Coffee Fridays... share a cup of coffee with us.

Ojala que llueva Cafe - May it rain Coffee

I was just watching a video that I should share here... it's a song that was very popular in Mexico and South America in 1990 the singer is Juan Luis Guerra and the name of the song is "May it rain Coffee" it is in Spanish and it would be very hard to translate it into English (and still make sense or sound as poetic as it sounds in Spanish) but I will share the translation of one of the verses of the song:

So that down on the farm, there isn’t so much suffering, oh man,
May it rain coffee in the countryside.
So that in Los Montones they hear this song,
May it rain coffee in the countryside…
So that all the children, sing in the countryside,
May it rain coffee in the countryside.
So that in La Romana they hear this song,
May it rain coffee in the countryside...

Here is the video.... so many memories of my early teen years...

Happy Tuesday everyone! Thanks to the loyal readers, followers and visitors of "The Coffee Shop" for stopping by one more day!

As you know I only have time to post here... Just a reminder to please just be patient with me as I can't answer as much right now to the comments! I still love you and I hope strong friendships are formed not only with me (I've found great friends here!) but among all of you!

Today is Tuesday and here are some quotes, jokes and facts... all related to coffee:

Some funny quotes I found:

"Chocolate, men, coffee - some things are better rich!" 

"If this is coffee, please bring me some tea;  but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee." - Abraham Lincoln 

"Way too much coffee.  But if it weren't for the coffee, I'd have no identifiable personality whatsoever. " ~David Letterman

So....  I think we already got some good laughs with our quotes... right?

Now, some interesting facts:

• Drinking a single cup of coffee that has been brewing for 20 minutes provides the body with 300 phytochemicals which act as antioxidants and stay in the body for up to a month.
• One coffee tree yields less than half a kilo of coffee per year.
• A coffee tree lives for between 60 and 70 years.
