the Nescafe 3-in-1 Creamy Latte
After depriving myself of caffeinated coffee beans (to avoid high BP on my hubby's part) my body wasn't really satisfied of the decaf coffee we had 2 weeks ago. I went to "caffeine starvation mode" and so I grab the only available coffee we had days ago and that is the 3-in-1 instant coffee. Since I knew how to work it right by accident or should we say by curiosity (but i wasn't killed =D). The fantastic discovery of instant mixed coffee with steamed/frothed/heated milk didn't fail, it was indeed a successful experiment. And I actually wrote the recipe here and published it. Here's the link, http://coffeecupsandteacups.blogspot.com/search/label/instant%20coffee
(but no photos to demo it, so i thought of taking a picture to help describe more bout the recipe).

Not every household does have espresso maker, in fact it's very rare. Those people who owns one of these are those who loves coffee enough to save earnings to afford such not-so-necessary stuff.
And for those who have coffee shops or coffee businesses.
The good thing is one can have an alternative way of
"how to make steamed/heated milk" in very a simple way.
1).Heat the fresh milk into the saucepan. Just heat, don't boil.
2). To make the froth, just shake an enough amount of cold fresh milk into a close container to produce a froth. Then topped it into the hot coffee. Then cappuccino or latte is ready.

Cookies and Milk, anyone?
So this afternoon I was craving for some walk and my destination is Cubao Expo. I was expecting to go to Libreria Bookstore that my husband and I found about last year. Libreria to my knowledge is a bookstore where you can find a lot of books, maybe old or new or 2nd hand, but who cares, the older the book the better, like wine. Speaking of wine, you can't find wine there, instead, they offer coffee, YES COFFEE!! And they have this set of sofa, where one can sit comfortably while browsing books and being warmed up by a hot coffee of your choice, paired with a cake, if one prefers to. Next to the sofa was a set of a table and chairs for the readers, so there that's the picture of what the Libreria looks like. Because it was so unique and peaceful I was intrigue and curious and excited to visit there soon, but unfortunately we haven't found time yet, so I thought this would be the perfect time.
When i got there to the spot i knew where it was, It was gone, as in GONE (accompanied by some horror music on the background) let's do it again, IT WAS GONE.....MY WORLD JUST SUDDENLY CRUMBLED DOWN! OH NOOOO!!!! (just kidding!)
Well it was replace by a new store. No big deal. I went on, I walk around pretending i was not desperate. But heyyy look what i found, a new cookie and milk shop, ohhh yeah! (dancing in the disco, dadadadancing in the disco) I was happy, so happy enough to try their menu. The shop's name is "Sweet Ecstasy". I got myself a cookie and a glass of fresh milk (forget the low fat, it's a cookie that i have, COOKIE!) I'm glad i found Sweet Ecstasy, it was a sweet afternoon indeed. With just a less than a hundred bucks, finding happiness is that too easy. Next time I'll bring a book or a friend. Bring your friends too. But if you want to be alone, it's a perfect time to have a moment of peace from the hustle and bustle of life. You may prefer to watch at the flat screen TV with cable, how cool that can be, or you can bring a book it's nice to read there the ambiance is perfect, or just chill out and bring a two small ear plugs that is round in shape, big or small it doesn't matter, it comes in diff. color usually white, people just love white, anyway, it's the one that bring forth music =D ayt.
Much has been said, so these are the photos i got so far, I hope you'll like it.
