Turkish coffee

The path is steep, and my legs were tired from the climb.

I stopped at a small kiosk to buy a cup of Turkish coffee.

It costs about 60 cents or less than a dollar.

It was a warm drink in the cooling air, a small comfort after the hike.

Shira means something sweet in about six different languages.

So in Armenian, in Turkish, in Farsi it's Shireen.

In Hebrew, Shira means sweet song.

In Hindi, so I wanted something that was very international.

Yeah.

Espresso or even, you know, like Turkish coffee, too, which which is really cool about that event that I worked at Winter Ridge was I was right next to the Mediterranean restaurant that had been opened up there for like the last year or so.

Oh, yeah.

And they grew up on Turkish coffee.

Oh, yeah.

So then that's even more fine.

Like you're consuming part of the grounds.

Really? Oh, yeah.

Thank you, Julie.

I look forward to hosting you here for Turkish Coffee someday soon.

I will be there.

All right.

Therefore, we should love what God loves.

And, you know, when you talk about a walk, by the way, that idea of, you know, walking as you go, doing ministry as you go, it's actually quite easy with Origins because every morning you and a group of young adults wake up and you make your Turkish coffee and you get in your van and you're stuck in traffic with all the other Israelis and you actually end up at a hospital and that's where you do the vast majority of your ministry is actually serving Israelis and probably a place where there's a lot of vulnerability, patients, hospital workers, doctors, nurses, administration.

You interact with all of it when you're over there serving in Israel at the hospital.

And I'm sure that that offers an opportunity to walk by the way, to literally live out your faith in these moments.

The findings are still mixed, but it's a sensible place to be cautious.

And a coffee twist, unfiltered coffee like plunger or Turkish coffee contains natural oils, mainly one called cafestol that can raise LDL cholesterol.

Now espresso has some too, that a paper filter traps most of it, so the filter matters more than how strong the coffee is.

But if your LDL is up, switching to filtered coffee is one of the easiest ones There is.

Mughal Empire.

In the Mughal Empire, historical records and art from the sixteenth century show that Turkish coffee was consumed at court.

Coffeehouses, known locally as kahwa khanas, were established in the city of Shahjahanabad, which is now referred to as Old Delhi.

Europe.

Italy.

The first café in Venice opened in 1683 in the Piazza San Marco area.

During the eighteenth century, this single square became home to numerous establishments, including Quadri, which was the first to serve genuine Turkish coffee in 1775.

Another notable venue, Florian, opened in 1720 and remains a significant landmark.

I was beginning to feel creepy around this bog and this fog.

Ah, thick as Turkish coffee.

Funny lookin' bunch.

Old Horseface there, sadder than sad.

That's a relief.
