Another thing learned/reminded via WFH is the fact I drink a lot of coffee… As the volume of coffee I drink cannot be sustained with Espresso machine which has been the usual go-to at home, decided to buy a can of drip coffee – can’t recall the last time I bought the drip coffee. πŸ™‚

Folgers drip coffee reminded me the old days in the dorm in Iowa..

As one of the big change for me with staying at home is now all meals became family meal, we end up taking another ‘Corona’ deal – one order covers family and/or even covers multiple meals πŸ™‚ – from KFC… $20 or $30 bucket deal…

Wow.. Tried the ‘viral Korean sugar creamy’ coffee aka Dalgona (λ‹¬κ³ λ‚˜) coffee

Pretty simple – the formula is instant coffee, sugar, hot water- all 2 table spoons and mix it up till you see the sticky foam starts to build up and the color turns golden brown – then prepare a cup with ice & milk and just top it with the Dalgona foam – then wait a bit and watch the foam melting into the milk. Then simply sip it.. πŸ™‚

This one I used Vietnamese G7 coffee as I didn’t have the instant coffee as a replacement for 2 spoon of instant coffee but worked fine..

Milkie Milkie Bingsu Cafe at Edmonds – The Last Dessert Before Corona Shutdown

20200314_132947

Happen to visit here at last Saturday after grocery shopping (well it is more of restocking) and this dessert end up being the last dessert we had at cafΓ© (with ‘very distancing’ in the store) for foreseeable future period. -Just a day before governor’s order of restaurant shutdown.

Nice Bingsu with fine & crispy ice but their ice was not milk based, so I wondered why they are calling themselves as Milkie Milke

As US never opens up any infection source details of confirmed cases on Corona -only the numbers of confirmed cases and deaths by county with news of random people getting confirmations, I found myself feeling more nervous on being outside. Especially noticing the continued growth of confirmed case numbers (now Washington state just passed 1k) Now, I think the dessert I had at last weekend seems crazier & stupid idea than few days ago..

Also, after almost-two-weeks of ‘stuck at home’, staying at home feels more comfortable as fear of being outside becomes bigger than the challenges of ‘stuck at home’

Maybe this pandemic might end up creating lots of new 2020 Otakus who will refuse to get outside and stay at home with repetition of work & sleep after all things are settled.. (and I might be already one of those.. πŸ™‚ )
