Our Life Corner | Mango Tea Cream Cheese
Last week we published a recipe for a ‘frozen salted espresso martini’ spotted on Instagram. This week we spotted the Instagram account of ‘Our Life Corner’ from Indonesia with delicious looking drinks (link in the title). We spotted the Mango Tea Cream Cheese (check out below, the text continues below the post), but this account publishes a lot more drinks like a ‘Vanilla Popsicle Coffee Latte’ and a ‘Ice americano’ which we think would be nice to make with an espresso as well. We would love to order the Mango Tea Cream Cheese here as well!

Some cities are pushing back on sidewalk robots | And ideas for peaceful coexistence
In January we spotted Geoffrey, which is a cute 10-pound delivery vehicle/robot developed by Ignacio Tartavull and Gellert Mattyus of Tiny Mile. And it was pushed of the streets of Toronto. And now in this article a likewise argument is used to keep robots of the streets in the Yaffa municipality of Tel Aviv. An interesting article with possible solutions on The Spoon, link in the title. Here the director of transportation, traffic and parking for Yaffa, sent a letter in early July to Israel’s Transportation Ministry to convey his belief that sidewalk robots from Russian tech company Yandex were a nuisance to pedestrians. Besides other arguments he uses the same concern as they did in Toronto: concern about the impact of robot traffic on low-mobility pedestrians as well as the elderly and children. As usually technique goes faster than legislation!
