Hello Hive!
It was an interesting morning. A few friends came over for a visit yesterday and brought us some bread. The did bring a bunch that we were not able to finish up everything when we snacked. But no worries, all is not lost. I love eating bread so I cooked up some omelet which made for a colorful plate.
Of course, breakfast wouldn't be complete without #coffee. So I'm starting by making a cup from Doña Remedios Trinidad Highland Coffee which is a combination of Liberica and Robusta coffee beans.
Fun facts: Robusta contains the lowest caffeine among bean varieties while Liberica produces the biggest beans.
French Press
This has been my preferred brewing method as of late. It's quick, simple and clean-up is a breeze. I put 1 and 1/2 heaping tablespoons of ground coffee and added around 375 ml. of hot (not boiling) water, which I left to stand for 5 minutes, before pouring the black liquid into a mug.
It was a nice cup of coffee. Just right. The strong aromatic taste of the Liberica, combined with the simple flavor profile of the Robusta made for a good cup. It doesn't pack a punch that I usually drink after an overnighter, but clearly this is a good cup with wood, earthy tones.
I gotta say, I'm enjoying this gift from our friends from the DRT local government. Free stuff always tastes better. lol
Omelete
For the omelet, I used 1 egg, 1 stem of Pechay, I small leaf of fresh oregano from the garden and added a dash of salt, pepper, turmeric and some mushroom powder. It was a nice combination of flavors but the colors needed another element. The orange made it really sweet and added another level of nutrients to the meal. :)
T.G.I.F. Another week passed by so quickly. Summertime is almost here with 33° C temperatures and 5% precipitation. I hope that things continue to get better with the pandemic situation and the roll out of the vaccine get's under way soon.
With that, I would like to wish everyone a relaxing weekend. Summertime always brings back happy memories. I hope that this summer gives us lot's of happy memories to remember.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Mabuhay!
