Coffee with milk and breadâa delicious memory from my childhood. (ENG-ESP)
Greetings, beautiful community! I hope you are all doing very well. đ€

They say that in Venezuela, every child is born with an arepa under their arm. Itâs a very popular saying because, in our country, the arepa is truly a staple; you can eat it at any time of day and fill it with whatever you like best. We love the arepa, and it represents us proudly wherever we go. đ
But bread isn't far behind. I can say without a doubt that itâs very hard for a bakery to fail in my country; as long as there is fresh, warm bread, there will be people wanting to buy itâwhether in the morning for breakfast or in the afternoon for a snack or dinner.
Mom usually gave us arepas for breakfast, but when there weren't any, or it was getting too late to make a more elaborate meal, she would turn to bread. Back then, she would buy a big bag of French breadâit held about 20 rollsâand the younger kids would eat one while the older ones ate two.
But that bread didn't come alone; our mother made the most delicious, sweet, and frothy cafĂ© con leche (coffee with milk) I have ever tasted in my life. đ€€ I miss that flavor so much!
I remember enjoying my cafĂ© con leche in a plastic mug back thenâI was about 6 or 7 years old. It was so delicious to dip the bread into the coffee and then pop it right into my mouthâoh my goodness, it was so tasty!
Today, I treated myself. I don't usually buy bread from the bakery for health reasons, but I had wanted to relive that moment for so long that I didn't think twice. I bought my favorite bread, turned on the electric coffee maker, and set out to make the coffee just the way Mom used to. Well, it didn't turn out exactly the sameâhers was tastierâbut I did manage to get it frothy and moderately sweet.


Oh, my! I poured myself a cup of coffee and got a piece of breadâbuttered, of courseâand settled in to enjoy this treat that so often saved the day when Mom was getting our breakfast ready.


I don't know about you, but there is something truly delicious about dunking bread into a cup of coffee with milk. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to give it a go; personally, it brings back so many lovely memories, and I enjoy it just as much now as I did when I was a little girl. đ

Se dice que en Venezuela todo niño nace con una arepa debajo del brazo, es un dicho muy popular porque, ciertamente en nuestro paĂs la arepa no puede faltar, se puede comer a cualquier hora y rellenar con lo que mĂĄs nos guste, amamos la arepa y en cualquier lugar nos representa dignamente đ
Pero el pan no se queda atrĂĄs, puedo afirmar sin temor a equivocarme que es muy difĂcil que una panaderĂa pueda fracasar en mi paĂs, mientras haya pan acabado de hacer y calentito, pues habrĂĄn personas queriendo comprar, ya sea en las mañanas para el desayuno o en las tardes para merendar o cenar.
MamĂĄ normalmente nos daba de desayuno arepa, pero cuando no habĂa arepa o se hacĂa tarde para hacer un desayuno mĂĄs elaborado, ella solĂa resolver con pan, en aquel entonces, compraba una bolsa grande de pan francĂ©s, esa bolsa traĂa como 20 panes, los mĂĄs pequeños se comĂan uno y los mĂĄs grandes se comĂan dos.
Pero ese pan no venĂa solo, porque nuestra madre hacia el cafĂ© con leche mĂĄs delicioso, dulce y espumoso que e probado en toda mi vida đ€€ extraño mucho ese sabor!
Recuerdo en esa Ă©poca (6-7) años disfrutar mi cafĂ© con leche en una taza plĂĄstica y era tan delicioso mojar el pan en el cafĂ©, y seguidamente meterlo a la boca, Dios mĂo que cosa tan rica!
Hoy me di ese gusto, normalmente no compro pan en la panaderĂa por cuestiones de salud, pero hacia tanto tiempo que querĂa revivir ese momento que no lo pensĂ© mĂĄs, asĂ que comprĂ© mi pan preferido, prendĂ la cafetera elĂ©ctrica y me dispuse a hacer el cafĂ© como lo hacĂa mamĂĄ, bueno, no quedĂł igual, el que solĂa hacer ella, era mĂĄs rico, pero procure que me quedara espumoso y moderadamente dulce.


Oh Dios! Me servĂ mi taza de cafĂ© y mi pedazo de pan, este tenĂa mantequilla, y me puse cĂłmoda a disfrutar estĂĄ delicia que muchas veces sacĂł de apuros a mamĂĄ a la hora de darnos de desayunar.


No sĂ© que dirĂĄn ustedes, Pero si que es rico empapar el pan en una taza de cafĂ© con leche, si no lo has probado, te invito a que pruebes, en lo personal, me trae muchos adorables recuerdos ademĂĄs lo disfruto igual que cuando era esa pequeña niña đ

Gracias por acompañarme y por tu valioso apoyo que el Creador te bendiga generosamente đđŒ đ

Es una bendiciĂłn haber nacido en Venezuela, nada mas delicioso que una arepa o una merienda de cafe con leche y pan es un manjar.
