Hearts in my Café con leche
handI recently visited my favorite Cuban eatery for some amazing food and a perfect Café con leche. This inspired me to share a little about Cuban coffee.

Café Cubano

AKA Cuban Espresso; is an espresso shot that is sweetened with demerara sugar (natural brown raw sugar) as it is being brewed (percolated,) but the name covers other drinks that use Cuban espresso as their base. Cafecito and Cuban Coffee are a couple other names used.

CortadoCortadito
Cuban Espresso with a float of steamed milk. The word cortado is the past participle of the Spanish verb cortar (to cut.) This is because a dash of warm milk is being used to cut the espresso shot (like the italian caffé macchiato.)

Café Bombón
Espresso served with sweetened condensed milk in a 1:1 ratio. Bombón means chocolate in spanish.

I did take a walk around the neighborhood today this morning. I haven’t seen anyone around, but only one person. There were no animals in sight. Just the trees and homes. It is a beautiful day right now.

I was reading ‘salem’s lot. It is interesting. Today is the day that the O.J. Simpson murder trial movie airs on TV. It will be an anthology series. A new episode from the series will air each Monday in the upcoming weeks. This is a better way to tell what happened, because it gives time to not make it into a flop. It will take time to adapt it of how it all went down. I think in my view this is the correct well thought way to do a series of the crime that took place in America. It will grab huge ratings this way, instead of doing it as a mini-series.

My insecurities are vanishing and don’t see them anymore. I feel free from my creativity. It is better not to bother your inspiration, but rather wait for it to hit you once you make a novel, etc. The book Big Magic is helping me a lot of controlling my fears. I will work with my inspiration and creativity. But, I won’t release them away as of going away. I will let them come to me.

I have talked so much about aliens. I think that one thing that strikes is they are disappointed by the wars that are going on this world just by pure hatred, because of only simple things. The world has potential to change, but we haven’t seen any success of it yet, and never will have. These aliens do understand these views. Right now in my opinion they aren’t happy of how planet Earth looks like in the civilizations. It is up to them if they want to create another civilization after this one.

Well, I am writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Be safe and behave! ❤ 🙂

Now I didn’t walk around the neighborhood, because it was raining. I didn’t mind. I was inside reading books.

I think that the Golden State Warriors of the NBA will pass the 72 wins season of the Chicago Bulls. It is possible. If they stay on the correct path of this season.

I was reading ‘salem’s Lot and understand it. It is about a vampire that kills people. Many of Stephen King’s novels are shocking and bizarre. I enjoy them anyway.

I now have registered for writing class. I start my online writing class this March 16th. I feel so thrilled and excited about learning more about the craft of writing. We will always in our lives keep on learning new stuff forever. Now I will not think about the class, until it is time that I will study in March. There’s other things I need to do, and it is a long way. The best thing for me right now is not to think about it.

I have heard the news a week ago about the new planet 9 that scientist have discovered. I feel excited and thrilled about it. However, we haven’t yet found a planet like ours in other galaxies, and in the universe. It feels like we’re the only planet with live species, but there are microbes, and organisms in Mars. At least that counts.

Well, I am writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Be safe, and behave! Oh, listen to your parents! ❤ 🙂

James Cameron is still a vegan — and he picked a massive celebration to remind the world.

The 58-year-old film-maker and ocean explorer was honored on June 13 during the National Geographic Society’s 125th anniversary gala with “Explorer of the Year” for his successful solo dive last year to the deepest point of the Pacific Ocean. During his speech, Cameron urged the packed house of scientists and explorers to consider dropping animal products and reap the benefits.

“I’ve had an epiphany recently,” Cameron said. “I want to challenge all of you as people of deep conscience, people who are environment stewards of the earth and oceans … By changing what you eat, you will change the entire contract between the human species and the natural world.”

Cameron, who announced he’d gone vegan in October last year, told the crowd that the switch had a huge impact on him. “I felt like…
