Criminal Minds season 6 casting spoilers: ARG

WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT ( Criminal Minds casting spoiler )

Criminal Minds has been host to a variety of kinds of fail in the past, most notably that horrific episode about the Roma, but it has generally done well on the misogyny front. I've greatly enjoyed CM's variety of different strong, complex female characters, plus one of the most realistic portrayals of women's professional clothing in a crime show (female FBI field agents and cops wear suits and uniforms on CM, not a parade of desperately boobalicious unprofessional shirts and wildly inappropriate heels)(NB: I would not ever like to have a discussion including rationalization or apologism for said sexualization of fictional professional women's dress). Apparently that's all at an end. If this spoiler comes to pass, I see a high probability of dropping it in a rage even though I love the whole cast.

Recipe: flavored green tea cookies! PERFECTED!

My motivations for finding a recipe for tea leaf cookies were two: 1) I said to myself out of the blue one day "I feel the craving for something like a green tea cookie. I wonder if that exists?" and also 2) I have a bag of extremely shitty-quality, way over-flavored, over-sweetened white person green tea leaves that are fucking unimbibable in traditional tea form but I didn't want to throw them away.

The tea used is Nordqvist "Nippon Green"¹ tea, which is flavored with thistle, strawberry, and about a boatload of vanilla.

( RECIPE )

1. A flavor of Nordqvist that I like better is Lady Green, which is flavored with sakura and vanilla and, while still too sweet, is kind of palatable.
