Distriada
I am such a distriada (Spanish for absent-minded) sometimes--last week, I burnt a perfectly good pot after turning on the wrong burner and not realizing until about fifteen minutes later. Today, I was taking out my keys as I was getting out of our elevator when I accidentally dropped them down the elevator shaft. Luckily, there's a locksmith near our apartment but, unfortunately, he didn't have something he needed to make a copy of our building front door key so I will have to scramble to find a place that can make a copy tomorrow or Monday.
The best coffee I've had was in Italy by far so when I heard that Illy Caffe was opening a temporary cafe in Soho, I knew I had to go there. I made it down there today and I was disappointed--maybe I shouldn't have ordered a Cafe Americano but it was kind of bitter and I'm not a fan of bitter coffee. Also, they had really good sounding desserts but $4 for a cupcake? Plus, the coffee only made me thirsty so I picked up this ice tea (I've gone on a beverage kick ever since returning from Japan) which was really good but there must be a ton of sugar in it because I got really jittery after drinking it which almost never happens to me (and I'm a sugarholic).
