It’s picture time, really. No peanut butter jelly, sorry. At any rate, I got my blooming teas and made one tonight. I took pics, as requested and they follow along with a pic of my desk here at home so you can see that it’s at least semi-clean for now. The long rows and piles of books are on the right, but I don’t suppose those are visible. I’ve also included a fourth pic, which I’ll explain in a minute. See, today I suddenly realized that this month is February. It’s not like I thought it was March or January or anything, it’s just that I honestly haven’t thought about it much until Heather mentioned tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day. And it also occured to me last week that we still have our Christmas tree up. That’s the fourth picture. Still pretty though, isn’t it? One of these days I’ll take some time out of thesis-writing and EQ-playing to bring the boxes back down from the guest room and pack everything up. At any rate, it’s time to get back to either writing more of the thesis or taking more notes for the thesis.
Nifty!:
So did the blooming tea taste good?
Yeah:
It was pretty good. It had a unique flavor to it, not like any of the other black teas I have, though I'm not sure which variety or flush it is. It just took a while fishing out little leaves which had become separated. I'd say definitely a tea for a glass pot–there are far too many leaves for one cup, so I brewed a second with it.
The pot thing still confuses me.:
Wouldn't that just lead to pretty but bitter tea? I mean, don't you normally remove the tea bags to that they won't turn bitter?
Hmm:
Maybe that's the oolongs and greens? I can't remember. I'll have to reread that chapter in the tea book again or something.
Tea:
You have to do use that tea again sometime so I can observe the magnificence.. how did it taste?
Crap:
I'm starting to hate Firefox. Something must be broken with it because not only is it not playing movies or letting me view certain things but now it says the URL on your comments is broken. I'm working on Netscape right now if that tells you anything.
