♠ New favourite tea variety:

pyramid-bag Lipton Green Tea with Mandarin Orange


♠ Every time I hear a Queen song (and I have several on my iPod), I LOL because I can't help thinking about Brian May innocently thinking Freddie was like holding Male Models Anonymous meetings backstage until one day he found out he was gay, and being like "OH, that explains SO MUCH!" I picture him as a chibi looking sort of like Gabriel Ba's drawing of Ray, only skinny, and with his fro going straight down instead of out of course (his hair's kinda Louis the Whateverth. Or a British judge's wig).

♠ I haven't baked cupcakes (or as they say in Finland because for no discernable reason they lack the concept of cupcakes, "muffins") without liner papers ever until the other week when I got my silicone muffin pan. So yesterday when I forgot to bring it with me to Brother Windows's place along with the carrot cake batter, I forgot to butter their metal muffin pan. The result was CUPCAKE CARNAGE. They still tasted good, though. I left the remainders for the beleaguered triplet parents - they probably need as much baking as they can get. Today I'm going to make orange chocolate chip muffins to replace them for us.

♠ "Some days I feel just like that: 'Awwwwwwwwww.'"

Hi Ciara.

I bought that tea too! I had great hopes for it because I love citrus-flavoured tea, and mandarins are my favourite fruit. But the tea's flavour isn't really to my taste, alas. Or maybe I just don't know how to make it right, I'm not very good with green tea. :/

We're not talking the Japanese tea ceremony, here. I think there are instructions on the package, and they amount to "pour boiling water over it and let it sit for 2-3 minutes" - so I don't think it's really possible to do it wrong. I don't find anything surprising about the flavour, though. It tastes like all the mandarin orange teas I've had before with some green tea mixed in.
