Someone asked for coconut milk today???? like that would taste disgusting with espresso??? ew??
Starbucks recently started offering coconut milk because almond milk is too much of an allergen hazard, so that might be why. It’s actually pretty good in mochas but yeah it’s horrendous with espresso alone. It’s weird, like dirt and water and espresso.
I make a lot of “If I had a dollar” analogies because it’s actually a cry for help. Please pay me for these horrible experiences.
“I’m going to be frank and tell you that 90% of people who order ‘extra hot’ drinks are high maintenance and difficult to deal with in their everyday lives, not just with their coffee. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
So true, I live with one. My mom. And If I had a dollar for every one of these exchanges: “Make me latte 190 degrees." "Ma'am I can’t take the milk over 180 degrees because then it becomes a safety hazard.” “Fine make it 185.” “…"
What I imagine Elsa’s Frozen Fever dress should look like. ❄ It’s supposed to look like an aurora borealis with frosted flowers. (here’s a transparent ver)
Oh my god. I want. Someone get me a job that pays thousands of dollars immediately so I can pay a top-notch designer to make this for me.
“Sound and Sense from Essay on Criticism” by Alexander Pope (read by Tom O’Bedlam)
True ease in writing comes from art, not change,
As those move easiest who have learned to dance.
‘Tis not enough no harshness gives offense,
The sound must seem an echo to the sense;
Soft is the strain when Zephyr gently blows,
And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flows;
But when loud surges lash the sounding shore,
The hoarse rough verse should like the torrent roar.
When Ajax strives some rock’s vast weight to throw,
The line too labors, and the words move slow;
Not so, when swift Camilla scours the plain,
Flies o’er the’ unbending corn, and skims along the main.
Hear how Timotheus’ varied lays surprise,
And bid alternate passions fall and rise!
