So my mom told me yesterday that I was spoiled by India. Whaaa..??

You know what? She's right. Here lemme explain.

See, Aparna makes the best coffee I've ever tasted. It's strong, sweet, and still has cream/milk too. Jojin also makes a badass cup of joe and I'm very happy with it. As a result, I've totally given up on making coffee. I can make a whole barrage of just about anything in the kitchen - from appetizers to main courses to entrees, and just about any cuisine you desire- , but the one thing I've never been able to make is a decent cup of coffee.

I was telling my mom last night that I don't even try coffee because I've got these two, and she told me that I'm spoiled. She recalled how back in America, I used to wake up every morning at my apartment, make an omelet, french toast, waffles, pancakes, whatever. Along with that pour some fresh juice, and I'm out. But here, I don't eat breakfast. Or lunch. Why? Because I just wait for someone to make some coffee. Once I have that coffee, I basically just wait until dinner. I know I know, it's a horrible diet I have. But at night, I just go out and have dinner at a local restaurant that has dirt cheap food. Weird.

So India has spoiled me. Never thought I'd be claiming that.
