Thanks very much, glad to be of service. And, you’re right, the Coffee Cantata shouldn’t go unnoticed. Here’s Wikipedia on that work, the title of which was „Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht” (”Keep Quiet, Don’t Chatter”). It includes the full text in English translation.

Very much enjoyed the coffee discussion - have sent the link to some e-learners I’m tutoring at present. But no mention of Bach’s Coffee Cantata (BMV211)?

Thanks on all counts, and I’m very keen to hear your take on the developments in Lebanon.

Aaaah (contented sigh) so good to hear someone expresso himself so well on the other liquid black gold topic, and must try vanilla essence. More on the Gemayel-Fisk post later as it warrants more than a quick slap-dash comment, and of course with my heritage I feel obliged to comment. Thanks for forwarding the Deep South Banana Pudding recipe; if you haven’t already forwarded to other friends, I think its good enough to post :)

;-) Phooey.

Actually, Wikipedia has a nice article on cappuccino. It is a decidedly Italian tradition, but there is no mention of exactly when this particular concoction was invented.
