Oh hey that's me!
Piping Hot Pizzas headed your way! ๐๐ฅ
Not sure what art form this is in context of, but across all of them I find minimalism pretty boring.
Man, I need to get into the supplements business, just paying $2 and getting back $10.
#TodaysTea Alfalfa Leaf
Screw it, let's just throw some cattle fodder in boiled water and call it a tea. Was worth a shot because it's real cheap. Is it good? Well, it's grassy, no lemongrass but sweet enough to get by. Could see it as tea blend filler.
We also went down the Blue Ridge Tunnel. Walking down a 4,200 foot long tunnel from thev1850s with zero lighting is a cool and trippy experience in a way photos can't capture.
Running water sounds from underground that I can't stop, a beaver's worst nightmare (Lost River over by Natural Bridge, runs underground through the karst)
My friends and I also went to the titular Natural Bridge, which is very tall. Need some art of big Castor leaning on this.
"Castor you need to stop making dangerous climbs of several hundred feet" NO, NEVER
Devil's Marble Yard in Natural Bridge, VA, literally an 8-acre, 600-foot-tall rock scramble. Safe? Lolno. Fun? Oh yes.
Knew this was coming. Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Collective Soul, Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers, probably others.
This was a good one, it is sweet and smooth like the bag promises. Was a touch too floral on the initial sips, but settled in nicely.
This has ironically made them my go-tos for brewing in the afternoon; they're quick to brew, quick to cool to the temperature I prefer, and because the steeping time is so short they don't leach out much caffeine.

Japanese teas be like "Glare at your cup, brew with the heat generated by your stare for 13 seconds."
We are having karaoke, though I can't really be there. Send me a message and I will let you know how to join, though.
In the way of their journey, Yuri didn't like it when Weise asked to stop by just to help people's trivial work
Hey now, you can buy it in teabags in Argentina, they can simmer down.
I looked up how to prepare it, and decided I didn't want to buy more cups just for one specific drink that's not displacing coffee or tea for me.
Harder to answer, actually, thinking it over there's surprisingly few bands I enjoy that peaked in the 80s vs. crossing the 70s or 90s. Def Leppard, Tears for Fears, and a lot of scattered singles.
The result was very light, but not in a weak way. There were only some small floral notes but it worked well to warm me, and proved fairly satisfying. May try it with jasmine or lemon or the other classic green tea pairings.
Yerba Mate is the third caffeinated hot beverage, and has its own special way to prepare it with special equipment I don't have. So I didn't do that, and just prepared it as a green tea, with only a nod to a cold water wash first.
#TodaysTea Yerba Mate
What if neither coffee nor tea, but a secret third thing?
If any of y'all say "would" ๐
Looks like a health tracking watch? Idk, I'd only recommend those if you are specifically training for some sort of cardio activity.
That said, I think gongfu style steeping would be more popular if it was called kung fu style lol. I'm only now realizing it's the same term (meaning "done with skill")
That said, I may not be the best spokesman, because man it's looking like I just can't get with Chinese black teas. There's a bitter note high in my mouth that messes everything up, I can't get around. Happened with the last one, happened with this one. bsky.app/profile/cast...
#TodaysTea Keemun Black Tea
A complimentary sample from iTeaWorld included with my purchase of those three Chinese herbal teas.
Heads up to companies! If you send me tea samples I will review them for my audience of 15-30 mildly interested furries!
lright it's been fun, but the moon is waning and I gotta turn back into the small beaver tomorrow.
But before I do, does anybody want some last-minute uppies? ๐
This doesn't even fit in the box anymore
Not that I've heard! (They are too small for me to hear them)
But if I grew that large, what would I dam? ๐ฑ
