Wimpy's Coffee

One of our favorite things in Gabs is Wimpy's coffee.  We frequently visit Wimpy's, a popular restaurant chain here in Southern Africa.  A week or two ago we were there and there was a kids' party at the other end.  they were noisy, really noisy, but they were seemingly having a great time.  There was even a clown, not sure if he was from Wimpy's, with balloon art and entertainment.

We enjoy eating at Wimpy's because it is a cheap meal.  All day long you can get a "streaky bacon" breakfast of two eggs, bacon, chips (fries), with a grilled tomato slice for only 20P ($2.50), but a large coffee will cost you another $2.

We have asked a couple of times about how they make it and do they sell the coffee beans.  The answer is that:  A) "you need a big machine", and b) "NO".

They used frothed milk on top, which is delicious and caused us to buy some frothers in Italy.  We suspect they also use just a hint of chocolate.  Try it.

So, add one more mystery to the list.  It is a long list indeed.  IF you think you are smart, take a few seconds and consider all that you don't know.  I don't know anything about particle physics or British Lit.  I know nothing of psychology, sociology, or music.

You and I don't understand G^d?  Well, what did we expect?
