J. S. Bach's Coffee Cantata (Peasant Cantata)
''Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht'' BWV 211 - Final Chorus
Libretto by Christian Friedrich Henrici
This cantata, a short musical drama, was composed for performance by Bach's Collegium at Zimmerman's Coffee House, Leipzig, between 1732 & 1734. It is now brought to you by Café Zimmerman (Instrumental Ensemble, which is composed of six musicians - five bow instruments and a harpsichord).
Apparently Bach's love for coffee was well-known. It's reported that two of his prized possessions were two silver coffeepots.

Iced Coffee is the newest cold weather trend. You heard that right. Cold weather, as in winter, is no barrier to enjoying freezing chilled coffee, which in summer is a welcome cooler. So just when you thought your favorite coffee shop was going to put the ice-maker away, think again.

When I'm missing Maui, I'm always looking for a way to bring a bit of Hawaii into my home. So when I heard that you can actually grow a pineapple plant indoors, I thought, "Why not?" In addition to being an interesting challenge for myself, my 3 year old is very excited about it too. I didn't want to disappoint him if this takes a long time to produce an edible fruit, so I told them that if we're lucky, our pineapple plant will make a pineapple by the time he's 7 years old. He said he's fine with that. :) There's so much that could go wrong though... The plant could rot... The plant might NOT rot, but my dog might knock it over and kill it... or maybe my almost-2-year-old will knock it over... The plant might get buggy... I might over-water it and kill it... Oh my! Cross your fingers for me guys! I do NOT have a good track record with house plants...
