"Coffee.... dark as Hell, strong as death, and sweet as love." French...Unknown

This is actually a Turkish proverb. It's the equivalent of the American saying that a fence should be "horse-high, hog-tight, and bull-strong".

Ellendra.... Since I am pretty certain coffee arrived first in Turkey I would certainly not disagree with you!

Wish we were not dependent on other countries for our Coffee, or, our Chocolate!

How did your garden grow this year?
