Lending Library

Crossroads Roxborough occupies a shoestore with an addition that was built in 1927. These days the first floor is the dining room and upstairs is a lending library. Our estimated capacity for books is around 8,000. Currently we have 700 on display. The library is an honor system: take one leave one. We accept donations , however textbooks and magazines generally contain dated text which is not as readable as classics, children’s books, and cookbooks. The photo below shows an early copy of Joy of Cooking, Twentieth Century Authors, and Paris in a Basket.

Due to nut allergies we serve only vanilla. Almond are available upon 12 hour notice. These cookies include: butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, ricotta cheese, flour, baking soda and salt

The Milky Way and Galactose

Why do we heat milk and add it to espresso? Subjectively speaking, to create a rich, sweet, coffee flavored beverage. Lactose is a simple sugar that represents 30% of the calorie content in milk. When milk is heated, lactose is broken into glucose and galactose which are sweeter.
