Turkish Coffee time..


Sunday is the first day of the working week. Being unwell on Sunday morning is not the best idea (if you had a choice I mean). What could open your sleeping eyes? and switch your brain on? and make sure the signal between eyes, brains and other parts is working and clear? Coffee? not this time...Black coffee? maybe...Red Bull? I'm not into energy drinks...looks like very Bitter Turkish Coffee is it!

Brrrrr!

It's cold, dark, raining, did I say cold? It is the perfect weather for eating something warm in front of the TV. But before I do so, there is something that I have been craving since the first drop of rain. Hot Chocolate.

I enjoy Turkish Coffee

I allow myself 1 cup of coffee a day (mostly during working hours), I can only properly function at work after my cup of caffeine.

Every Ramadan I promise myself that I won't get to attached to coffee and teach myself to live happily without it. However, between the parking lot & the office building, a Starbucks is strategically located with fresh coffee aroma tickling the brain as you try to focus on your destination but never works as you always go back for that latte.

Early last year, I tried to minimise fattening things in my diet. So my regular caramel macchiato became a latte, then a skinny latte, then espresso from the coffee machine at work (which was too light for me) and finally a Turkish Coffee.

If you haven't tried Turkish Coffee yet, I think you are missing out. I always thought Turkish Coffee was bitter, but if you order a medium or sweet, you can live. And as a mean of entertainmet, we read the coffee cups for fun after we finish. Today, it wasn't the best looking cup (but I took pictures anyways).
