Not "KATIE" moment. "Kate" moment. As in my friend Kate who just moved to Seattle.
Hop on over to CherryRide and read about his trauma with Veggiemite...then scroll through the comments until you get to KateR's where she says she brought "decent instant coffee" with her to Seattle.

That's like taking your own pasta to Italy or your own beer to Germany. Kate, why would you do that?

Totally agree!
And that is so un-Kate-like!
That's the type of comment that she would tease anyone else mercelessy about.
why did I do it I hear you ask???? I did it cos I don't have a spare $x000 grand to drop on a decent espresso machine. And unless my coffee comes out of a machine that has enough steam power to blast off to the moon, I'm not taking my chances with feeble little drip filter machines but sticking with what I think is the only palatable alternative - "decent instant coffee".
Now I've become an expat myself I'm quickly breaking all the rules I ever set for the Americans in London. You all knew I would. Like you knew that I'll still hold you to those rules of course :)
Lesson learned yesterday: don't ask for a shopping trolley - ask for a shopping cart. Why did that never come up in London???
