Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppin', Easter's on its way

Bringin' every girl and boy
Baskets full of Easter joy
Things to make your Easter bright and gay

He's got jelly beans for Tommy
Colored eggs for sister Sue
There's an orchid for your mommy
And an Easter bonnet too

Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity, happy Easter Day

Happy Easter, everyone! I hid my Easter eggs yesterday and today I will test my memory and try to find them. It's gets harder every year. So with that in mind I have begun my day with a mug of unbranded Keemun tea, hummus, Kalamata olives, and some Feta cheese. Easter isn't a major holiday here, but it coincides with several local holidays, especially 'Golden Week' when ALL of Japan takes their vacation, so it's almost impossible to go anywhere due to crowds. Good time to stay local!

DesertBlues, enjoy your Iranian vacation. Drink lots of local teas and tell us about them when you return.

where did you disappear to?

So I finally tried the Seven Son Bing Cha Pu Erh tea cake and it was phenominal. It had that dark earthy taste but was more smooth then the TG Touchas. Really, really good. Good enough that I am thinking about buying a second cake since I know it will last for a long time and I am concerned about maybe not being able to get it again.

Good stuff.

Green tea.

Well. I have probably committed tea-i-cide. My whole DAY turned out tea-flavored, and it wasn't even intentional! Chris needed a worktable, so we went over to DeKalb to see what they had. After we found something that would work for him we passed a display of Mr. Coffee iced tea makers. Yep, I bought one. I figured it couldn't do a worse job than I'VE been doing... and at the least it should solve my proportion problems. At the absolute worst, I got a nice iced tea pitcher... LOL.
Then we went to B&N. Bought two Laura Childs books in her teashop series (because I'm tired of waiting for her publishers to remove their heads from their mmhmms and get them in ebook), and then...and THEN....we were ready for a snack and went to the cafe, where I got....uhhuh... orange cranberry tea from Harney and Sons. Delicious.

I could have spent a lot more, B&N had some of the cutest teapots and teacups I've seen lately. But I'm out of room in my curio cabinet and don't have room for another one, so no more collections for me until we move into a bigger house!

Don't worry. I won't judge. I might laugh a little, but I won't judge.

milk!

just went shopping

Iridal · 04-24-2011, 03:58 AM

Water!

Just went jogging

It's already tropical hot outside, I had to give up after 4,5 km because I started coughing really hard. The ozone concentration is too high in Belgium at the moment and I always react badly to that

Another wonderful day off.
I start it with a new Assam tea.
Fortnum and Mason's Assam Hattialli FTGFOP.

A good wake-me-up tea. I like it.
