Can you recommend a good Spanish espresso?

We have great memories of enjoying Spanish coffee in cafes and my partner is in Murcia atm. I'd love her to bring back some (to Sweden) but I don't know what brand is commonly served in cafes.

Or if you know of a local roaster in Murcia where she could pick some up.

Thanks so much.

Storing fresh chilli's and garlic in oil.

I had a bunch of fresh chilli's and some garlic that I needed to store so I chopped them up, put them in jars and poured rapeseed oil over them so they are fully immersed. We've stored them in the fridge.

It's been a few months and we've been chucking them in everything that needs a bit of heat (which is nearly everything in our house) but now I'm wondering if this is safe and how long they will keep?

Thoughts?

Is working overtime a common thing in your country? Simply as a way to get ahead?

I grew up in Canada. Working overtime was just just part of life.

My father did overtime fairly regularly. I'd say at least once a week he'd stay a few hours extra. Not because it was mandatory but simply as a way to put a few extra dollars in his pocket. Most of my friends parents worked extra too.

I worked overtime all through high school. Whenever I could get it. Most of my buddies did similar.

When I arrived in Sweden in 2000 after meeting my partner I was a carpenter at a resort and became my bosses go to guy whenever extra hours were required because all my coworkers refused. After a few years I apprenticed as a welder and worked in fabrication shops and offshore where you could work as much as you wanted up to the legal limitations. So I did, even after I became a supervisor. In all those years I never really saw any colleagues pulling extra hours despite it being 2x pay.

I don't mean they're lazy just that it's not part of the culture. Many people here work hard but there's no way they're staying extra.

We are so much further ahead because of that extra work that it kinda blows my mind. We traveled lots, had financial security and we retired early.

What's it like in your country?

Hi there. Booked a last minute couples trip from Sweden (arriving today) and we'll be staying near Akademia Muzyczna tram station. Can anyone recommend a good pub or cafe for afternoon drinks and food in the area? Outdoor seating would be nice.

Doesn't need to be upscale, just a place you'd meet friends with good food and atmosphere.

Thanks
