Tryphoon’s Lair

My little bro Jef is coming to town and as usual with any adventure related to him, things had to go wrong!

So a couple of nights, willing to make sure that Jef had boarded his plane or at least had checked in, I decided to stay up until 8:00AM London time and call him around that time… As I feared, things got awfully wrong. Flight was cancelled, all United Airlines 777 planes were grounded, the earliest available flight would have got Jef in LA 2 days late… Not good…

To add to the nightmare, Thia decided to wake up and start screaming, willing to get a hug from her Daddy.

Many phone calls and some drama later, around 2AM, Jef is on a plane and on his way to LA. Not the original plane, obviously, but A plane, flying towards the US west coast! I can finally go to bed.

The result of this: a very tired Tryphoo sitting at his desk, feeling rough and unhappy…

Here enters a recent office chat during which I was introduced to a new concept called the Hammerhead or better described the ultimate “wake up” drink. Always willing to volunteer myself to try new crazy stupid great things and feeling the way I felt, I had to drink this thing!

So what is it?

As easy as 1-2-3

1/ Acquire an empty cup, a can of Coke and a double expresso (thanks to Starbucks, this is now a very easy thing to achieve)

2/ Pour Coke in Cup, add the Double expresso and get prepared for the foam
