Love all the coffee talk! Especially Father Steve's description of his nanny's recipe. After I visited New Orleans I was using egg shells and chicory in brewing my coffee for awhile...one of their "secret recipes" Down Yonder.
>>old expressions<<
When I was growing up business hours was still very much in vogue and adhered to almost religiously. You did NOT conduct business on Saturday or Sunday, and on weekdays, 9-5 was strictly respected. It was even considered bad business to disturb somebody over business matters outside those hours...business hours. Imagine that...the destruction of which was led by telemarketers
and direct marketing. Shops and stores were always open on Saturday, for the most part, NEVER on Sunday. But you did not approach somebody over a business matter on Saturday. It was just considered bad decorum.
Now nobody seems to have any damned respect for anything or anybody...just the almighty dollar, or Euro, or.....
