I have an hour between my work-study and my internship which gives me just enough time to stop my my fav local coffee spot (Matryoshka) on the way to get a cortado and sip and chat with the baristas. they also have really good specialty drinks and i’ll get the new ones whenever they drop. today one of the baristas remembered that I mentioned liking candies with unusual mouthfeels and gave me one of their favorites to try. always worth a lil stop for my sweet/caffeinated treat

Depending on the place: drip coffee, macchiato, cortado, or cappucino. Coffee is one of life’s joys. ❤️

the Best drink offered in the espresso world. Been drinking these for many years now and they always hit the spot. I like that I don’t have to commit to holding a hot or cold cup for the next hour+ (I’m a sipper).
a well tuned cortado can give you so much flavor without sweeteners, let you enjoy milk without drinking 13 ounces of it, and you usually get a cute, tiny cup that people comment on

i feel exhausted by the number of decisions I have to make everyday. and turning on the radio when I get in the car feels so nice as a little defiance to the world that wants me to pick and choose and decide all day long. Let the professionals pick for me!! Big time radio girl

(a summer soup for patio nights)
drink it from a cup, save a spoon.
amount: fills a mason jar as far as i’m concerned.
ingredients:
– 3 cups of chopped up roma tomatoes - I will not mind if you use a different kind of tomato if you have it! I had romas
– a cucumber, peeled if you’re feeling gentle <3 (recommended. get gentle with it)
– a jalapeño if you like spicy! if you don’t, skip it!
– a bell pepper, i did an orange one but follow your heart
– shallot - most people would probably say a white onion here, but the only white onion I had was starting to take new form into something else
– 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, minced (try your best, but know that you’re still a good person even if you mince garlic poorly. Your knife is probably bad, not you.)
– couple teaspoons of olive oil & a little red wine vinegar (I wish I did more in my batch because it came out a little thicker than I personally like it. but again, follow your heart)
– salt & pepper (even if I did give you specific instructions on this one you wouldn’t pay any attention to it)
chop up all these ingredients
blend until it’s a slurpable consistency you like.
chill for a couple hours.
forgive someone (optional).
