What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. That’s my philosophy, and I’m sticking to it.
On Thursdays, I meet up with my intercambio pal Noelia in a little Moroccan tea house, and café con leche just won’t do. I mean, why have bog-standard coffee when you can have a chocolate-sprinkled pagoda…? And it’s not just what’s on top that matters, but what lurks beneath. Yesterday it was a double shot of amaretto. Sometimes, I go for rum 🙂
Gives you a heart attack just looking at it, doesn’t it…?!

Mmm. And no doubt they are real whipped cream, not that icky stuff from a can…

Actually, I think this stuff is from a can, but it’s not bad, considering. And I’m picky with my cream, I really am.

That’s how it worked for me… didn’t really like coffee until I turned 30, moved to London and discovered Starbucks’s creamy froth concoctions. That seems like such a long time ago… nowadays Starbucks is just naff 😉

Looks even tastier than those Spanish guys you posted a while back. Of course, I’d take either with whipped cream.
