Disclaimer: This is more of a personal note and less of tea note.
So, I have a new night time tea obsession. I made a whole pot of this because using my teapot is actually really fun. My favorite part is the pouring and also that I can have 3.5 cups of tea without having to get up. I also chose this tea because I can get it at Target, so I don’t feel the need to hoard it. This is both good and, I suspect, very dangerous.
I wanted a nice mellow tea to go with a dessert I just made and want to try out. I sliced some bananas, froze the slices, made tiny peanut butter sandwiches with the banana slices, covered them in melted dark chocolate and then froze them again. OH. EM. GEE. So delicious. And so easy! This tea went so well with them.
I was also watching a documentary about Alaska. Ice worms are crazy!
I talked to my grandma for her birthday and she loved the teacup candles I made for her :-). This is the grandma who was married to my grandpa, whose birthday it was yesterday. They were born one day apart in the same year. He was from Mississippi and she was from Newfoundland. They met in Nova Scotia and on that day he told her he would not leave Canada without marrying her. She thought he was an arrogant ass. LOL. Three weeks later, they got married and they were together 63 years, until my Grandpa’s passing. I love that story, it’s so romantic! She told me tonight that she still talks to his picture every day, which made me simultaneously both happy and super sad.
