This post begins my homage to California. Some people may think of California as the land of Arnold Schwarzenegger, SUV’s and surfer dudes but as a California native, I especially appreciate California as an agricultural and culinary oasis. The freshest fruits and vegetables all year around, perfect weather, mountains and ocean in one scene, and people who are generally laid back, casual, and friendly.
I was reunited with a good friend during my vacation to California. We hadn’t seen each other in years and I was amazed when she asked me if I would be in California at the exact time that I planned to be there! We managed to see each other the morning that she flew back to Indiana with her husband and two young daughters. Her husband was kind enough to let me take her for a couple of hours. We ended up at one of her favorite coffee shops. This was no ordinary coffee shop. Barefoot Coffee Roasters serves a Crème Brûlée Cappuccino that I am craving as I write this post. I have yet to find another coffee shop that will sprinkle fine sugar over your cappuccino and take a torch to it. You get the thrill of breaking through burnt sugar without the guilt of eating a cream custard along with the reward of a seriously delicious cappuccino! Perhaps I can find this drink somewhere in New York City. I’ll have fun trying, at any rate.
