cappuccino con panna / cappuccino with whipped cream

my dream daily writing practice

I write a little bit every day.

While I can write wherever I find myself, certain places make the daily practice more pleasant.  

At You Grifo, a coffee bar in downtown Perugia, I can get a perfect cappuccino, served with a small shot glass of freshly whipped cream on the side, and sit at a table with my notebook.

For a short while, flying on the magic carpet of the beverage's aftertaste, the inner turmoil quiets down and the pen glides on the page.

Such is the power of life's small pleasures. 

This is my contribution to edition #95 of Black and White Wednesday - A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook, now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar, and hosted this week by Deepali Jain of Lemon in Ginger.

The photo was shot in color and then converted to black and white (Lightroom preset Split Tone 1).

This post contains the gallery of images submitted to the event.

On this page, you can find out who is hosting the current and future editions of the event.

Do you eat the cream off a spoon as you eat the cappuccino? I've never had it like that before!

[Simona Carini]

Ciao Alicia. It is a custom characteristic of that coffee bar. You can spoon a bit (or a lot) on your beverage and mix it in, or eat it in between sips, or do anything else you are inspired to try.

Ciao Simona, che buono il nostro cappuccino! Ma tu sei in Italia adesso?
Un abbraccio

Sometimes life is perfect as is...

Ciao Lucia. Sono stata a Perugia con mio padre convalescente. Poi sono stata qualche giorno sull'isola greca di Samo.

Indeed, Debra. And often such perfection is found in small, simple things.
