Friar,

Go to a reasonably large supermarket and look for Nutella, near the peanut butter. Toast some good bread and try the Nutella on it, with a nice big coffee of your choice (café con leche is just a way better way of making it, sez me). Nutella’s not as good but it’s a reasonable approximation.

Then report back. You won’t be able to gather my memories of Spain, but you might be crying. It’s a lovely, childish-yet-sophisticated breakfast. Mmmmm.

Must go.

Later…

@Kelly

Hmm….Must be some kind of fancy-schmancy European product, which we don’t’ get up here in Canada.

Dunno what cafe con leche is either (I’m SO pedestrian!). But it sounds too much like the “La Leche League” organization, so I wont’ even ask.

PS. I like breakfast too, but it dosen’t make me want to cry!

@Alex

I have no idea what Norcilla is.

Do you spread it on your toast, or rub it on your skin?

Janice,

From the very first tiny cake I ever saw on your site, Janice, I thought you had something very special. Such a unique way of looking at the world. I know for sure that your work must help clients gather memories. Bonus for me: your words do the same. Love that.

Alex,

I’m very lucky to know folks like you—you are so inspiring (as I just said on today’s WOW post at Someday Syndrome)! You bet you make good memories.

Nocilla, ahh… Can’t get vanilla imported (I used to love that), but the chocolate… it’s one of those stupid things… the experience of spreading that on a piece of toast with a good strong café con leche the first morning it arrived almost brought me to tears. *happy happy*

Until later,

Kelly

If helping people change their lives isn’t a memory, I don’t know what is… My goal is to make a GOOD memory.

PS We just bought four jars of Norcilla because of a promotion where the containers are great little glasses designed by the singer Rosario.
