Michael Leddy“Orange Crate Art” is a song by Van Dyke Parks and the title of a 1995 album by Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson. “Orange Crate Art” is for me one of the great American songs: “Orange crate art was a place to start.”

Words to live by
Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in the face of certain defeat.
Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

Νέος ἐφ’ ἡμέρῃ ἥλιος. [The sun is new every day.]
Heraclitus
*
Every day is a new deal.
Harvey Pekar, “Alice Quinn”
*
Nos plus grandes craintes, comme nos plus grandes espérances, ne sont pas au-dessus de nos forces, et nous pouvons finir par dominer les unes et réaliser les autres. [Our worst fears, like our greatest hopes, are not outside our powers, and we can come in the end to triumph over the former and to achieve the latter.]
Marcel Proust, Finding Time Again

Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try.
Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living

I don’t really deeply feel that anyone needs an airtight reason for quoting from the works of writers he loves, but it’s always nice, I’ll grant you, if he has one.
J.D. Salinger, Seymour: An Introduction

I’m not afraid to get it right
I turn around and I give it
one more try

...and it is fantastic! Rich, creamy, wonderful on the tongue. It reminds me of the first time I had Cuban coffee - thick, syrupy. These are flavor-memories you'll carry with you into the hereafter. I hope they have Cuban and Vietnamese coffee wherever it is my spirit lands after I leave this world!
I second the motion for the cafecito.
I would sometimes make Vietnamese coffee in small classes (yes, bringing in the filters, glass mugs, and so on). Lemme tell ya, those students were full of energy for the rest of the day. :)
When I save the link text above I thought you'd be posting about Vietnamese yogurt coffee (yum!)

Oh my. I didn’t know there was such a thing. I wonder if this is what our favorite Thai restaurant offers as Thai iced coffee. The glass in the photo looks very similar.
The plain yougurt and sugar in the above linked recipe could be replaced by some homemade Vietnamese yogurt: https://danangcuisine.com/recipes/recipe-vietnamese-yogurt-sua-chua/
…I use a combination of a small amount of condensed milk and plain yogurt though and that seems to work well.

Thanks, Steven. I’m passing the link on to Elaine, who’s been making yogurt.
