We had very unexpected company come by in the person of one of Chris's ex girlfriends who lives in the neighborhood. She showed up begging us to let her in because she was scared some lady called the cops on her because her dog pooped in the lady's yard. Did I mention we have cats?

So I fed her the experimental tea.

I am not a nice person.

OMG! Well, glad the tea turned out good anyway!

Edit: And I decided to stay home tonight. Iced green tea with lemon in my cup.

Now it's raspberry frozen custard. It's still in a cup, even though I'm eating it with a spoon. Actually this is what they call a "Concrete" - frozen custard mixed with whatever fruit/candy/nuts you want. Like a Dairy Queen Blizzard, for those of you from the southern U.S. This is Culver's (another regional burger chain) version.

I'm such a construction nerd. I'm sitting here thinking, "So the fruit or whatever is the aggregate and the custard is the cement..." I really need to get a life. But that still doesn't distract me from the fact that calling a food "concrete" just sounds... wrong. DQ has Blizzards, Wendy's has Frosties... Those sound good. Or at least cold. And edible.

Shel, sweetie, come down here where the food is not named after construction materials.

Sincerely,
Your friend,
Le Brat

Got a room and a job for me? LOL.
Although I do know what you mean, and regardless of the name, these are luscious.
In my cup - the experimental tea.

LOL I wish I did.

And the ingredients do sound good. Just not the name.

And I'm so bored I'm working in Photoshop on a logo for your experimental tea.

In my cup - soon to be ice water with lemon.

Honeychile, that is BORED. But I'm definitely going to stay tuned for the results of that Photoshop messing around!

Good morning, gals

Trying to convince myself I will be glad to get up and make tea. Hasn't worked in the last hour, but might in the next

Which reminds me I bought a new suppy of Kashmir chai! Up and into the kitchen I go
