Le Yummy Pastries with Le Cafe and Jazz for the Mornings

Good morning everyone.
As I wake up this morning I stop to take a moment to think...."Man, I wish I had a pastry with coffee today". It's almost a ritual for people to go to Starbucks, or a local Coffee Shop to buy their warm coffee and join it with a marvelous, delicious pastry like a Blueberry Muffin, Coffee Cake, Donut, or even a Biscotti, and the list goes on.
As the mantra of my mind goes..."Be Healthy, you don't exercise but at least eat healthy"....well it's tormenting at times.
So to feed my eyes and mind over images of what I wish I could eat. Here are some Pastries to indulge you all on the magnificent pastries to join your hot coffee. By the way, almost every time I drink coffee at home, it's cold??
Also, I believe that listening to Jazz in the morning is such a easy going feeling for the morning duties or before work. To accompany you on that breakfast and take you through the morning.

 
 

 

 

Meals with Coffee...Yes it gets better My Friends!

Now I am a huge fan of the Food Network, I watch it to pass on the time and avoid eating snacks or anything fatty. I was thinking the other day about the specific foods Americans eat these days and Coffee is becoming a meal replacement, because obviously we as Americans are desperately trying to shed those extra pounds.
I got on Google, simply typed in "Meals with Coffee" and of course the Food Network provides amazing recipes that incorporate our addictive coffee as a main ingredient for magnificent meals for the family.
Taking a look at the recipes from pastries to dinners, the one that made me want to go out and buy food was the "New York Strip Steak with Spicy Coffee Rub". I know...a coffee rub?? Heck I'm hoping one day a coffee scented lotion is created.

More Reasons to Keep Drinking My Friends!!!!

Good morning my fellow Coffee Friends, hope you all arrive to work on time as I should be getting ready myself. But I skim through BuzzFeed.com  a lot just to see what happens in the Social Media world, and I came across an interesting video that I believe can make you all think for a sec if the information is legitimate or not.
If you have time, take a look at the video uploaded to Youtube.com and see if this actually pertains to you.

Coffee actually can depict your Personality?

So as I'm flowing throughout Pinterest, I notice a somewhat of a diagram that depicts the different personalities coffee portrays on the drinker. Interesting?? I just assumed that apart from the love and admiration, the constant consumption and given fact of possible addiction, that coffee couldn't actually tell you who the person is. But as social media likes to analyze the users intake and comments on common objectives its no wonder coffee can tell you the personality of the person sitting next you.

Take a glance of what could possibly be your personality as I'm sure you will be amused as I was and then I realize how obsessed I am at the mere image of coffee.

The Psychology of Coffee / La Psicología del Café

Tengo una Licenciatura en Psicología y he aprendido mucho acerca de los efectos y los disparadores la cafeína tiene sobre el cuerpo. Sé que a muchos les interesará leer pequeñas cosas acerca de la "intencionalidad" de café.

Aparte de los gustos y el azúcar que nos encanta añadir, la gran cosa acerca de café es el beneficio en nosotros que son los funciones del cerebro. La hormona asociada a este "sentirse bien" es la famosa dopamina que de verdad muy similar a la cocaína y el éxtasis.

El café es consumido como una sustancia psicoactiva en el mundo y los psicólogos están haciendo la pregunta a los consumidores: "significa esto que anhelamos la excitación?"

El novelista francés dijo en su libro "Honoré de Balzac": "este café se sumerge en el estómago... la mente se despierta, y ideas pour adelante como los batallones del gran ejército en el campo de batalla...Recuerdos de carga al galope... la caballería ligera de comparaciones se autoactualiza magníficamente; la artillería de la lógica prisa con su tren de municiones; destellos de ingenio pop-up como tiradores agudos".

Básicamente esta es una buena explicación de "Adicción", esta taza caliente bebemos casi todos los días son algo que nos hace sentir bien porque toca todos los sistemas sensibles en nuestro cerebro. Pero ten cuidado, que esto es muy similar a las sensaciones de cocaína y marihuana incluso. Así que beber con responsabilidad mis amigos.

I have Bachelors in Psychology and I have learned many of the effects caffeine takes on the body. I know many people are interested in reading the effects and interesting facts in terms of coffee. Apart from the sugar intakes and the different likes many have on the beverage, but also there is the grand benefit caffeine has on our brain.

The hormone that is usually associated as the “feel good” sensation is the famous dopamine that actually is quite similar to cocaine and ecstasy. Coffee is the most widely consumed psychoactive and psychologists are asking the question, “Does this mean we crave the excitement?”

The French novelist once said in his book “Honore de Balzac”: “"This coffee plunges into the stomach...the mind is aroused, and ideas pour forth like the battalions of the Grand Army on the field of battle.... Memories charge at full gallop...the light cavalry of comparisons deploys itself magnificently; the artillery of logic hurry in with their train of ammunition; flashes of wit pop up like sharp-shooters." 

Basically this is a good explanation for Addiction, this cup we consume almost everyday is something that makes us feel good because it touches our sensations in our brain. But be careful, because it can lead similarly to the same sensations as cocaine or marijuana even. So drink responsibly my friends.

The Truth about Coffee/La Verdad sobre Café!!

Hola amigos! ¿Como les van el día? Ya casi es hora para tomar esa tasa de café para despertarse y a continuar a trabajar. Por que yo si!!

Bueno ay algo que encontré que creo que seria algo para reír.

Cuando vas al Starbucks o cualquier Café, no piensas:

 en el tiempo que dura para ir en el coche,

llegar con trafico,

 buscar donde estacionar,

pagar el espacio o no,

mirar la hora,

pensar en que ordenar,

pensar en que tanto azúcar tiene y si se merece,

esperar en la línea,

ordenar,

esperar…otra vez,

por fin tener la bebida,

y hora correr al trabajo.

Encontré un Infographic en la pagina de Huffingtonpost.com y es bien gracioso en la descripción en como uno hace para ir al Café y tomándolo al mismo tiempo.

 En realidad, el café es importante para unos que se dedican trabajando muchas horas y se mantienen ocupados.

Hello friends! How’s your day? It is almost time to get a cup of coffee to wake up and continues to work. For me Yes!

 Well, there’s something I found that I think it would be something to laugh at.  When you go to Starbucks or any Cafe, you don't usually think:

the time it takes to go in the car,

arrive with traffic,

search to park,

either pay the meter or not,

look at the time,

thinking about that order,

think what has so much sugar and if you deserve it,

wait in line,

order,

wait... again,

finally have the drink,

and time to rush back to work.

I found an Infographic in the huffingtonpost.com page and is well funny in the description in as one does to the coffee and taking it at the same time.In reality, coffee is important for those who are dedicated to working long hours and are kept busy.

Saludos a Meditar

Por la mañana me despierto pensando ¿qué puedo hacer hoy? Yo me gradué college y ahora tengo 2 trabajos a tiempo parcial, que obviamente debe de ser ocupado? Así, si se da el caso, seguramente no estaría escribiendo esto. Pero aquí estoy escribiendo este post mientras medito sobre lo que puedo hacer hoy.

Preparo mi café en la mañana para disfrutar el sabor delicioso y tan suave para tener una tranquilidad de silencio y meditar.

Me gustar gozar el sabor sin estar de prisa al trabajo o hacer algo mas que me pasa el tiempo. Y me gusta tomar el café caliente, ya cuando se enfrié yo pienso que se pierde el sabor.

Cunado estaba estudiando (ya lo extraño) yo me iba al Café del Campus y ordenaba un Latté, traílla me  tarea y mis libros con mi Laptop. Era como parte de mi Schedule y me gustaba por que me concentraba y terminaba casi todo mi tarea. Pasaba mis compañeros y los saludada, paraban para preguntar cosas sobre la clase anterior o para el día siguiente.

Me pasaba horas concentrada con mi café y me gustaba eso, me encanto de ir al cualquier Café y observar la gente hablando de todo y unos leyendo.

Y me quedo pensando hoy en día, que debo de hacer hoy?  

Correr?

Yoga?

Dibujar?

Caminar el perro?

Como cambian las cosas tan rápido que ni uno se da cuenta lo que ocurrió.

Se que muchos critican los que toman el café demasiado, que es una droga, que es mal para el salud, que esto y cual otro. Tantas criticas que yo me quedo pensando, ¿Y por que trabajas tanto, por que tomas alcohol, por que fumas, por que esto y por que eso?

Casi la misma historia ¿no?

Yo me mantengo tranquila en casa (a veces) escribiendo, preparando mi café con un French Press o el Italiano, jugando con mi perrito, leyendo y trabajando mis horas en dos trabajos.

Lo bueno es que comienzo en Enero, entonces los que les quiero decir es que por favor, saboreen el café. Es bueno para ti en los momentos de descansar y reflexionar en su día.

Me encanta escribir y encontrar información interesante sobre café y la gente que lo mirar en la forma de arte y una bebida sabrosa.

Saludos a todos, tengan buen día y recuerden, Meditar para el cuerpo y la mente.

Namaste.
