17 de Octubre, cafes. October 17th, coffee.

Asi es como me sirvieron el domingo pasado el cafe aguadito que se toma por estas tierras, con 6 sobres de azucar y 4 de leche. Este cafe te lo van rellenando, asi que esta muy diluido, probablemente me pusieron tanta azucar para ir endulzando los consecutivos "refillings", jeje!
This is how my coffee was served last Sunday in Chicago, with 6 bags of sugar and 4 of milk. I guess it was thinking for the refills, but to be honest it is so watery and dilute that I normally don't take them :)


Por otra parte, el martes fui a una charla de un profesor de Northwestern. Siempre se sirve cafe y galletas, mirad que pinta mas horrible tiene el cafe, argg! Nada como nuestra cafetera pequeñita, de ahi si que sale un cafe exquisito, sin Nespresso y sin alta maquinaria :)
Yesterday I went to a tenure lecture of a professor of Northwestern. Coffee and cookies are normally served and look how ugly the coffee looks, argg! There is nothing like our small percolator, delicious and strong coffee comes out of it, there is no need of Nespresso or other sophisticated machinery :)


El otro dia me hacia falta azucar, tuve un dia estresante y estaba muerta. Cogi una "galletita", aunque no lo suelo hacer por el motivo que veis en la foto, casi no tienen grasa...
I really needed sugar the other day, I had a stressing and busy day, I was dead. I took a cookie even though I normally don't eat them because they are "kind of greasy"...

Mi triste cafe y mi galleta grasienta :)
My sad coffee and my greasy cookie :)

Sin embargo, no todo es malo, claro que no!! El cafe de Starbucks y en especial de Peets esta riquisimo. Al principio me parecia estupido pedir cafe de esa forma tan freaky: "double tall non fat latte" o "venti decaf caramel fredo soyccino" hehe! Pero hay cafes que estan buenisimos, como por ejemplo, el cafe de esta temporada, con especias de calabaza, uhmmm!
However, not everything is bad, of course not!! Starbucks coffee and the great coffee of Peets are delicious. At the beginning I though it was stupid to order coffee in such a difficult way: "double tall non fat latte" or "veni decaf caramel fredo soyccino", hehe! but to be honest, there are some coffees that are nice, as for example the seasonal coffee like the "pumpkin" spiced coffee, uhhmm!
