Currently consoling myself with cashew-blueberry pancakes (Jiffy mix, 1 egg, almond milk, blueberries, cashews)
Another sick day #TeaOfTheDay: #JusTea's Turmeric Ginger and African Chai in an orange peel with #Goodflow wildflower honey.
#TeaOfTheDay while sickly: Two scoops, a splash, and a bag of #JusTea's Turmeric Ginger and Women's Co-op Lemon Ginger with Pompeii lemon juice. Dropped and broke a mug (a lovely handmade ceramic) so the second pour was my first cup.
Starting the day with #TeaOfTheDay: a blend of #JusTea African Breakfast and #MariageFrères Pleine Lune. How much caffeine am I drinking?
Awake Insomnic Trying not to wake the household Though each dog has already descended So early #TeaOfTheDay is just a bag of #TraditionalMedicinals organic green tea From @bothildr.bsky.social
July 9th #TeaOfTheDay: Is #JusTea's African Chai with an orange peel and #HigherHarvest unsweetened almond milk my favorite breakfast tea?
A quick cuppa this morning for today's #TeaOfTheDay: #Oorganics lemon ginger herbal tea
O, Canada! For, probably, the first time in my life, I'm sorta kinda commemorating Canda Day, because of @bothildr.bsky.social. Thanks again, dear friend 🇨🇦
Saturday #TeaOfTheDay thanks to @bothildr.bsky.social: #Lovaré's Linden Garden, an easy fruity smooth tisane a little heavy on the peppermint
#JusTea's Turmeric Ginger (with whole wheat crackers for an upset stomach for) today's #TeaOfTheDay.
Listen, I will peruse the books of any store. Sometimes, I make some surprising finds. To wit, #DollarTree selling hardcover editions of The Old Woman With the Knife by Gu Byeong-mo, translated by Chi-Young Kim. Did I buy one? Of course. Have I read it before? Yes. Am I reading it again now? Duh!
Oops. Started drinking my #TeaOfTheDay before raking a photo: London Fog á la Austin Java, that is with plenty of vanilla
#TeaOfTheDay: I remembered this kit for mulling wine (no label, no credit to make, sorry) and added 1/2 teaspoon of it to #JusTea Mt Kenya Black Fragrant, pretty, and yummy 😋
I'm about to start Sisters of Sorrow Kurt Sutter, Courtney Alameda with Hyeonjin Kim (Illustrator) and it looks promising.
When you want "milky" tea but you're not a milk drinker.... Today's Monday #TeaOfTheDay: #JusTea African Breakfast and Mt Kenya Black with #HigherHarvest unsweetened almond milk (I seem to be worsening at photo taking.)
Friday #TeaOfTheDay: #Taylors white hibiscus peach green tea in a Panama mug
Tuesday morning #TeaOfTheDay: 2:1 #JusTea African Breakfast and Little Berry Hibiscus in an orange peel
Thursday #TeaOfTheDay? Hot cocoa! #HEB Organics' rich chocolate is no Ghirardelli but it's quick and good enough with #HigherHarvest unsweetened almond milk, #KirklandSignature organic saigon cinnamon, and a dash of Hubby's espresso. I was in a mood.
Wednesday morning #TeaOfTheDay: #JusTea's African chai in a mandarin peel
Tuesday #TeaOfTheDay: Leftovers blend made up of teas from unfinished cups, mugs, pots
I saw, just last Friday, a different Lange photo of Florence Owens Thompson with one of her children and was sad to learn that, as I've assumed since learning of her WPA works in high school, the subject of her photos "received no financial compensation."
Bonjour à tous. Le #TeaOfTheDay d'aujourd'hui c'est: #MariageFrères #DeStress
