Rainy

Yep woke up to a rainy day and the smell of something baking. When I got to the kitchen I noticed the burnt muffins errr! My sister is staying with me and she likes to bake. She explained to me that she was attempting to bake banana muffins when she realized the batter was a bit watery. However she decided to continue to bake them. The result was that the muffins turned out hard on top and uncooked on the inside. She seemed very disappointed. I felt bad for her. Personally I do not like muffins but I do enjoy waking up to the smell of it. Strange huh? I feel that way about coffee too. My mom used to make it every morning. There is nothing like the smell of Spanish coffee (Cafe Bustelo or El Pilon) in the morning. Coffee is a staple in every Puerto Rican home. Again I do not drink coffee but I very much enjoy the aroma. It brings back a sense of comfort and nostalgia. Good memories. We grew up very humbly but I knew that even if there was nothing else to offer anyone there would always be Coffee, Crackers, and some Cheese. That was enough.! That is the beauty of my mom she is a simple and humble soul. She always seemed very conformed to living a to our minimalist lifestyle. If she did seemed stress by our means she did not show it too much. I wish that I could be more like her.
