Cezve, briki, mbiki, toorka.
Two cool things from yesterday:
First, I found an antique ibrik in my mother's curio cabinet. After some cleaning and a bit of math I made my first Turkish coffee! And I did it right on the first try, too. It was SO good, though I'm sure it will get better with practice.
Second, I did a spontaneous handstand out of an armchair, with a controlled dismount off the back. It was pretty exciting/unexpected. I'm certain there's a word to describe that combination but I'm not going to seek it out.
As cool as it is, it unfortunately means I've lost more weight; I know I haven't gained that much strength. Turning down into a handstand? Sure. Muscling up into one? Shouldn't be there yet. I guess it's time to start putting half and half in my cereal again. Stupid metabolism trying to digest my bones.
