There is a new type of ATM on Upper East Side. A Cupcake ATM. The line was way too long for to try one, so I don’t know if they are any good. I read about it on some newssite a while ago and yesterday we accidentally walk by it. Cool idea.
Nar jag var i Sverige sist (i Augusti) sa akte jag tillsammans med Carlye och David till Stockholm over 1,5 dag. Saklart spenderade jag ju tid inne pa Lakritsroten (heaven on earth inom lakrits) och kopte med en massa gott. Bl.a sa hade de fatt in kaffe med lakritssmak. Just nar jag var dar sa var aven baristan som salt in detta kaffe till butiken dar. Visade sig att han jobbade pa det foretag som jag jobbade pa innan jag flyttade till New York. Kaffet har sedan rakat sta dar i skapet sedan dess. Som den barista jag sjalv ar sa gillar jag inte att malt kaffe star for lange. Det forlorar smak och saklart ar det inte lika frascht.
Nu tog jag iaf fram kaffet och har det till min frukost. Precis som baristan jag pratade med i butiken sa, lakritssmaken kommer som en efterklang. Det luktar lakrits i hela lagenheten nu och tyvarr maste jag saga att lukten ar godare an smaken. Kanske ar det pga att kaffet har fatt sta sa lange och darfor forlorat smak, jag vet inte. Lite besviken blev jag nog allt, men det ar anda helt ok kaffe.
Ni som har foljt min sida lange kanske har forstatt att jag ar bade kaffe- och lakritsalskare. Jag gillar bra kvalitet. Det var sjukt intressant att utbilda sig till barista. Aven om det var en kort kurs infor mitt kommande jobb sa gav det mig otroligt mycket. Det hade varit roligt att ga en lakrits-kurs ocksa 🙂
Last time I was in Sweden (in August) I went together with Carlye and David to Stockholm for 1,5 days. Of course, I spent some time at Lakritsroten (heaven on earth within licorice) and bought a lot of nice things. Among others, they had just got a coffee with liquorice flavor. When I was there, the barista that had sold this coffee to the shop was there too. Turned out that he was working at the company that I worked for before I moved to New York. The coffee has been standing in the cabinet since then. As the barista I am, I don’t like when ground coffee is standing for too long. It loses flavor and of course it isn’t as fresh. Now, I took the coffee out and I’m having it with my breakfast. Just like the barista I spoke to in the store said, licorice flavor comes as an after-taste. It smells like licorice in our whole apartment now and unfortunately I must say that the smell is nicer than the taste. Maybe it’s because the coffee has been standing for so long and then lost it’s taste, I don’t know. A little disappointed, but it’s perfectly ok coffee anyway. Those of you who have followed my site a longer time may know that I’m both a coffee- and licoricelover. I like good quality. It was really interesting to study to become a barista. Even if it was a short course before my future job, it gave me incredibly much. It would have been fun to go a licorice-course too 🙂
I formiddags akte vi upp till 72nd Street pa Upper West Side. Kopte en frukost kaffe och promenerade till Central Park. Vi hamnade i 30 olika turistgrupper och trangdes med typ en miljon manniskor. Aaah! Vi gick snabbt forbi och tog oss till lugnare delar. Valdigt mysigt. Vi har faktiskt inte varit i Central Park pa, ja, kanske ett ar. Vi satte oss en stund pa en bank i solen. Vi fortsatte var promenad till Upper East side. Vi kikade bl.a lite snabbt i tva djurbutiker. Oh, jag tycker sa synd om de sota valparna dar i burarna. Ville bara krama om dem allihop och saga att allt kommer bli bra. Promenaden fortsatte ner till varat gamla omrade, Midtown East, dar vi at lunch och kollade pa serietidningar. Nu ar vi hemma. Har kollat White Sox som forlorade. Ska snart laga lite mat och sen blir det basket hela kvallen.
In mid-morning we went up to 72nd Street on Upper West Side. Bought breakfast coffee and walked to Central Park. We walked in to 30 different tourist groups and thronged with like a million people. Aaah! We passed them quickly and went to a calmer places. Very nice. We have actually not been in Central Park in, well, maybe a year. We sat down for a while on a bench in the sun. We continued our walk to Upper East side. We looked quickly in two animal stores. Oh, I feel so bad for the cute puppies in cages. Just wanted to hug them and tell them that everything will be ok. The walk continued down to our old neighborhood, Midtown East, where we ate lunch and looked at comic books. Now we’re home. Watched White Sox that lost. Soon making some dinner and then it’s basketball all night.
Det blev visst ingen ordentlig varstadning. Men jag har fatt mycket gjort har hemma. Alla mina klader ar nu rena, torra och snyggt vikta i mina lador. Diskmaskin har gjort ett bra jobb och ovrig disk ar ren och star och torkar. Jag har rensat i hogar av papper och plockat undan och gjort fint i lagenheten. Nu har jag kopplat av med att lasa i min bok “Mitt liv i rorelse” av Lilian Karina. Jag har haft den boken i bokhyllan i ett par ar men aldrig last den. Lilian Karina var med i uppbyggnandet av den skola jag gick pa som idag heter Dans och Cirkushogskolan (las mer om det HERE). En intressant bok. Jag kan aterkomma med vad jag tycker nar jag har last klart den.
Ikvall ska vi ut och ata. Vi ska till ett stalle i East Village som vi har varit pa ett par ganger. Sist vi va dar slutade det med att jag spydde. All deras mat ar otroligt god, men de ger stora portioner. Eftersom det ar sa gott vill man lixom inte sluta ata och da blir det som forra gangen. Latt vart det 🙂
Didn’t do a proper spring-cleaning today. But have got a lot done at home. All my clothes are now clean, dry and nicely folded in my drawers. The dishwasher did a good job and other dishes is also clean and stands to dry. I have cleared piles of papers and organized and made it nice in our apartment. Now, I have been relaxed by reading my book “Mitt liv i rorelse” (My life in motion) by Lilian Karina. I have had that book in my bookshelf for a couple of years now but never read it. Lilian Karina was a part of the creation of the school I went to that is today called University of Dance and Circus (read more about it HERE, unfortunately the English site sucks, so google-translate the Swedish version for best info). An interesting book. I can come back to you on what I think about it when I’m done. Tonight we are going out to eat. We’re going to a place in East Village that we have been to before a couple of times. Last time we were there it ended with that I threw up. All their food is incredibly nice, but they give really big portions. Since it taste so good you don’t wanna stop eating and then you end up like last time. Totally worth it 🙂
Idag ar forhoppningsvis sista dagen man behover anvanda vinterjackan. Eller man behover kanske inte anvanda vinterjacka idag heller, men jag som alltid fryser kommer anvanda min. Fran och med imorgon hoppas jag att varen ar har pa riktigt.
Idag behover jag verkligen tvatta mina traningsklader och jag kanner for att stada lagenheten. Vaknade imorse och tankte direkt pa alla stallen jag vill damma. Vi har ett rent hem (jag gillar att stada), men man gor ju inte alltid en super rengoring. Om jag kanner for det senare sa blir det nog lite skrubb. Det ar harligt med varstadning 🙂
Today is hopefully the last day you have to wear a winter jacket. Or, you probably don’t have to wear a winter jacket today either, but since I’m always cold I will probably wear mine. From tomorrow I hope the spring is here for real. Today I really have to wash my work out clothes and I feel to clean the apartment. Woke up this morning and directly thought of places I want to dust. We have a clean home (I like to clean), but you don’t always do it super thoroughly. If I feel for it later, there will probably be some scrubbing. It’s nice with spring-cleaning 🙂
Utanfor varat fonster ser det sahar trakigt ut just nu. Vart ar varen?! Outside our window it looks this boring right now. Where is the spring?!
