I have a recipe I made awhile back for a whole chicken marinated in lapsang with asian spices & then baked. It was pretty tasty!

Lala

Indigobloom

mmmmm lapsang is my fave tea to cook with!

Sil

so verdict? REALLLLLYYYYY tasty dinner tonight :)

Terri HarpLady

Yay!!
I still have to cook…Instead I’ve just placed 3 tea orders, LOL!
I guess I’d better get away from my computer & get my axx in the kitchen!

Indigobloom

Mmmmm. What did the man think of the tea infused food?

Sil

Oh he loved it. :) a hit overall

Kittenna

Yum. I have some chicken that I just threw in the freezer; maybe I’ll have to bring it back out and try something like this. Although, horror, I may actually not have enough straight lapsang to do something like this!

teatortoise

I keep seeing “sip-down.” What does that mean?

Sil

sometimes folks celebrate finishing up a tea and getting to remove it from their cupboard. :)

teatortoise

Oh, I see. It’s sort of sad to me.

Sil

only when your cupboard is small lol for me it’s a victory when my cupboard gets huge… it means less tea in my cupboard and one step closer to being able to place an order for new teas! :)

teatortoise

That makes sense. For people that can’t afford too many, it means having to wait awhile before having a new tea to replace it. So, I miss that tea for awhile.

teatortoise

I’m sure if you have a big enough collection, it doesn’t feel that way. :)

Terri HarpLady

Sip downs are sad when it’s a tea you have really loved & you’re drinking the very last cup..,sigh…but once you’ve done a few tea trades and you have a big pile (or 2 or 3) of samples that you’re best friend in Canada sent to you, sip downs feel like a glorious accomplishment, right Sil? ;)

Sil

haha yes terri!

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
