Dalgona Coffee

Dalgona Coffee. I liked it a lot. Easy to make.

But I was too impatient to put in a more appropriate glass to make it more photogenic. Oh well. At least I felt inspired enough to take my big girl camera out! It’s been months... Yay for small victories, I guess. I miss taking pics.

I miss a lot of things, pre- COVID-19. FUCK THIS SHIT.

In other news, I’m still chugging along... some days hopeful...most days anxious as hell, sad, worried...

I see bodies come in and bodies go out at the hospital...

I cry. Sometimes I’m just too exhausted to cry and just keep going...

Fight or flight, I guess.

Ugh.

I wake up each morning, wondering, “Will this be the day?” My colleagues at the hospital or those that are essential workers elsewhere also wonder the same thing. Will this be the day we come down with the virus? Some people I know want to get it, just to get it over with. Me? NO THANK YOU. But my husband and I (though we HOPE HOPE HOPE I don’t bring it home) are just preparing for it.

What I’ve heard from people who have survived the virus, say they’ve never felt anything like it, don’t wish it on anyone.

And I’ve been told what helps:

TYLENOL
CHICKEN SOUP (lots of it)
WATER (lots of it)
and just
MAKE YOURSELF BREATHE, no matter how fucking hard it hurts.

Because you don’t want to end up on a ventilator.

I’ve never heard of this type of coffee but Mr Google set me straight, it looks and sounds delicious.

As a nurse I feel very much like you about this sinister virus. I just want it all to be over

I have so much respect for nurses. I hope you’re staying safe and remain healthy @kjarn.

Thanks, @kali66. Hope you’re well.

You are these days heroes. There are not enough words - I have friends, relatives on the front line as well here in Italy and it is awful. Wish you all the best, be safe and well!

Luscious and inviting. In Italy we call this sort of creamy coffee different ways: "espressino freddo" "crema fredda al caffè" "cremino al caffè". Nice shot.
I completely sympathise with you: my daughter is a doctor and works in a Milan hospital - Milan and Lombardy where the first hot spots for Covid 19 in Italy - and I fear for her and all the nurses and doctors on the front line... let's keep our fingers crossed. Ms. T
