JIM the world famous Biggby customer came to visit us at the store today!! We first met Jim, shortly after we were adopted by Rose and Joe, at Biggby store #4 in East Lansing. Jim is one of the nicest guys around, and has a very discriminating taste when it comes to coffee. He is a two or three times a day Biggby customer, but his trip to Joe and Rose's store was only his second to a Biggby store outside of East Lansing, so it was a very special honor to have him visit. Joe and Rose met Jim while working for the Marvelous Mohammed and Fabulous Fathy in East Lansing. They saw him so often that they quickly became friends - they often mention how he brightened up their day every time they saw him. In fact, Jim took a 45 minute detour just to meet up with Joe and Rose at the store today!
There is only ONE drink that Jim ever gets at Biggby - Joe named it the "JIM SPECIAL!" What is in this drink you ask? We are not telling!! But we bet that if you come on into the store and order one, Joe and Rose will fill you in on what you have been missing!
It was a pleasure JIM!

Hmmm...the Jim Special--I'm guessing it's an espresso. A double espresso? Jim's a great guy, and definitely knows his stuff when it comes to Makade Mashkiiki Waboo. It's Ojibwe, but you'll have to ask him for the translation. ;) Thanks for posting it! Jeremy

ReplyDelete"Makade Mashkiiki Waboo," which translates literally as "Black Medicine Soup." Tea, on the other hand, is called "Nibiish Waboo" or "Water Soup." The Native Americans have never been afraid to call a spade a spade. I guess I'm with 'em on this one!
