you can imagine my surprise when i stepped into a supermarket in são paulo ready to do groceries and saw a vending machine which dispensed coconuts instead of cokes, bendy straw and all. it’s been six years since i last lived in brazil and i still think about that.
but nothing beats a fresh, chilled coconut, chopped in front of you. i like mine spiked with whisky like they do back home in piñones (puerto rico). pair it with arepas de coco topped with stewed cod! now you’re ready for the beach

A Puerto Rican coconut soda that I literally cannot get enough of. We had it stocked in my fridge growing up and I was reminded of it about a year ago in my adulthood.
So simple. So refreshing. I add a bit of lime juice <3

the endings of great novels stay with you. a momentous rush that last dot, words and eyes speeding towards it almost with reluctance, until yes that world is done but something ripples out, a faint radiance or shadow, like the dark spot that lingers in your eye long after staring at the sun.
this i felt reading:

—swann’s way by proust

my best friend, now that she studies in a film school in the cuban countryside, took up the hobby as there isn’t much to do over there. she frequently talks to me about it, the quiet thrill of it, and all of a sudden i find myself looking up, frowning at the branches. i recently told her, half in jest (we were visiting home for the holidays) “what if we drop everything, go to papua new guinea, film the birds of paradise?” and she, dead serious, responded: “hmm… à la les blank?” expect the doc anytime soon!
