"Without my morning coffee I'm just like a dried up piece of roast goat."
— Johann Sebastian Bach
Ah, Lordy! What would I do without my morning cups of java? Apparently, I'm not the first to feel this way!
The great J.S. Bach wrote the original piece, the Coffee Cantata, in the 1730's of a father's demand that his daughter quit her coffee habit and that she can't have any until nor will she be suitable for (in his opnion) a marriage. What a wretched thing for a Pa to do to his young-un!
The above quote from the daughter isn't the only one that has significant meaning. I love the trio-
"A cat won't stop from catching mice, and maidens remain faithful to their coffee. The mother holds her coffee dear. The grandmother drank it also. Who can thus rebuke the daughters?"
Purrcolatte! I'm off to find more coffee beans and thankfully- my Dad doesn't mind one bit! Now if I could only convince my dear husband that he really should buy me a coffee pot (a RED one!) for our anniversary! haha!
