Of course, I put so much sugar and cream in my coffee I couldn't tell you how old the coffee was.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12735762861554461361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641318891461450541.post-22764702276490242342010-07-20T17:46:10.286-05:002010-07-20T17:46:10.286-05:00I also posted the award you gave me and wrote &quo...I also posted the award you gave me and wrote "10 things" about myself. <br />Thank you!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299901133939166510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641318891461450541.post-66240133454638956262010-07-20T16:16:45.484-05:002010-07-20T16:16:45.484-05:00I love coffee too, although I didn't grow up o...I love coffee too, although I didn't grow up on it, my parents never drank it and my grandparents did, but they never shared with me. We've had days over 100 here lately, so the iced coffee sounds great.

I'm not sure he's really my child.Michelle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377795706095031064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641318891461450541.post-67126244224194143142010-07-15T21:39:34.717-05:002010-07-15T21:39:34.717-05:00This looks gorgeous in the wine glasses!

And I love that this is something you can make with leftover coffee-such a fun treat:) I also like the difference in texture between the whipped cream and the granita.<br /><br />Did the boy like it?Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731435798319897025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641318891461450541.post-7655906555462646852010-07-15T08:13:40.653-05:002010-07-15T08:13:40.653-05:00Thanks!

My great grandma used to serve a buttery toasted bread w/ coffee too, but this stems from a French influence instead of Cuban like yours. I wrote about it (of course) here http://msenplace.blogspot.com/2009/08/simple-things.htmlMichelle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377795706095031064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641318891461450541.post-14323670162436990682010-07-14T22:12:40.100-05:002010-07-14T22:12:40.100-05:00I love your stories so much.

My breakfast every single morning as far back as I can remember was toasted pan cubano (Cuban bread) with lots of butter that I dunked in a large mug of cafe con leche. That was the standard breakfast of every Cuban child I knew in MIami. On weekends my Abuelo would take me to the panaderia (bakery) to pick up pan and pastelitos. He would get a cafecito (shot of Cuban coffee) for each of us. I don't know if my mother knew about that!<br /><br />Your granita looks like the perfect treat to cool you down on a hot, humid summer afternoon. I have to make me some soon. I'll let you know if I remember to stir every hour.M @ Betty Crapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740080768608041744noreply@blogger.com
