Yum! In Croatian, there is a thing that people say when they look at something delicious: "My teeth are peeing".

And I'm going to make this my new phrase now. I love it. What I normally say is, "ants mouse worse waddling."

(From the Anguish Languish site, in the story "Ladle Rat Rotten Hut." This has been a favorite in my family for years, and we all freely quote from it at odd times. We often call each other "Sweat hard," for instance. I recommend reading this aloud at a large gathering. It causes great hilarity.)

I love that site, thanks Betty. I don't know wether the reading aloud will have the same effect on a Dutch gathering, but I'll try it out.

Oh well, with all the nicities around I succumbed and had three chocolate sweets after dinner.
So, now I need a cup of Pu-Erh to break down all the nasties to niceties.

Go right ahead! I'll definitely have a look at "Ladle Rat Rotten Hut"!

On a more morbid note, Croatians also say "you are drinking my blood" or "stop drinking my blood" when someone irritates them. I find this hilarious, what with all of the Balkan (esp. Slavic) vampire myths and all. There are quite a few idiomatic expressions that involve blood drinking in Croatian. I've actually let a few of these slip in English, and when I have people have really looked at me funny.

I've got Echinacea-raspberry tea brewing.

This is my first try at multi-quote BTW.

An interesting graphic that shows how the different teas are prepared. I found it interesting that Japanese Green Teas are steamed while Chinese Green Teas are pan fired. That could very well explain why I prefer the taste of the Japanese to the Chinese.

Interesting.

I knew about the difference between C&J and came to the same conclusion.

No, China Black is a very specific tea taste. Usually is made from Keemun tea, but treated in a different manner. I really don't know the specifics of this tea, other than the fact that I like it!

Gotta run!
