What a nice place! A visit to a coffee factory.

A few days ago I visited Omkafe. This is a coffee factory situated in Arco; a town around one hour by car from here.

Omkafe began to grind and sell coffee in 1947.

On the first floor of this building there is an interesting museum of coffee with various things related to coffee. Coffee grinders, coffee machines, cups et al.

Among the objects on display there are several coffee devices  I had never seen before. 

This was the coffee machine that attracted my attention most of all.

After the visit at the museum you can open  a door in order to see part of the factory from above. I did it. Unfortunately I wasn' t  able to understand what was happening there. There wasn' t anybody who gave me a guided tour of the place. Maybe next time? 

There is a shop on the ground floor of Omkafe. Here you can find coffee and also unrelated items. There was a large choice of cookies, chocolate and pralines. Moreover here you can see coffee machines, cups, mugs and even things for tea.

You can have a cup of coffee free of charge at the shop. Ask the shop assistant.

As in many shops, around Christmas, even this one is full of beautiful things to give away.

The visit at Omkafe really made my day. For other info see; www.omkafe.com

My mother is always busy!

As many of you know my mother loves making cookies. She makes them on various occasions; for birthdays, visits to people and for the local charity market. She makes several kinds of cookies. 

I think she was taugh to do some by an Austrian lady long ago at the beginning. Then she carried on this thing by herself.

Some years ago I gave her a book to learn how to do muffins. She learnt to do them. Now and then she makes quite simple muffins with some chocolate.

I won' t try to learn to bake cakes or cookies. I wish to learn to make something. I keep on reading how to create nice things on the web. I only have to make up my mind to start making something. When?
