My experience with Coffee - Part 1

It's pretty common parents to offer different foods to their children. Sometimes it's their intention that the young one start eating these food; for me it wasn't different.


Though, I didn't like coffee at all, I hated. The bitter-taste was awful and I felt sick for short period of time. Thanks mom and dad! My great experience with coffee began in university. I had classes in varying periods of the day, so it was more practical stay the entire day at the college than go back home. As an academic, I didn't have enough money to spend in good food.. so soda or coffee was the cheap way to stay wake up the entire day to study, and coffee was the cheaper than soda and more healthy. If I enjoyed bitter-taste or not it didn't matter for me that time, I had to drink coffee if I want to stay awake and study.

As you can see, my first and second experience weren't great at all. But, as I written, my great experience with coffee began in university. It was a fighting game event (in my university), and a bunch of internet friends came to my city to participate in the tournaments. A friend of mine, who prepares his coffee in a "barista way", brought special coffee from his city. That time I was a little skeptical about his coffee, but I'm very open minded to food and gastronomy and I gave it a try.

It was simply amazing!! It was bitter-taste, but in a good way! I still remember the cocoa after-taste and how I started loving coffee after that cup. With a totally different view about coffee, my journey with special coffee begins.

My 2018 Book List

In December of 2016 I bought an Amazon Kindle. It was great because I could read a bunch of books (some heavy ones) without have to carry them. However, in 2017 I read some books by random choice.

Sapiens - Part 4

I'm reading Sapiens almost 5 days a week, but not so much as I liked (I'm so into Game of Thrones book). The book is divided in short chapters and these make up a "Part", the currently one talks about money, empires and religion. This post is about money! (I don't know if I'll write about empires or religions). In the previous post about Sapiens' book, I wrote about the beginning of Agricultural Revolution and how our ancestors began to form larger groups of people. There are three universal orders which helped to form groups even bigger; groups that could live under the same set of laws: "The first universal order was Economic : the monetary order. The second one was Political : the imperial order. The third universal order was Religious : the religious orders as Buddhism, Christianity and Islamism." (Adapted from the book - Position 2678 (Kindle)) All these universal orders has a thing in common: A mass of people believing in somethin...

Sapiens - Part 3

Do you like to make plans? Plans for the weekend, for the night or something more specific like plans for your career. It's a good habit to analyze the worst and the best case in your plans. If you don't do that, you should start doing. Our ancestors weren't tidy and they fell into a trap. We always try to improve a task to be easier to do. But, if you don't plan it you probably will face unexpected difficulties. This is what happened with our ancestors when they abandoned the hunter-gatherers style of life, to start an agricultural life.  The wheat's domestication allowed our ancestors to have a static life. They didn't have to walk kilometers to collect corn, fruits or hunt animals to eat, they just needed to manage their plantations.  However, this changed dramatically their diet and concerns. First of all, their feed consisted only in corn and an animal from time to time. Our ancestors could lose all the food by a nature disaster like drought or...
