JZ! So very happy to post with you, as well!
Oh, and Matilda pictures, please?
I wonder if the fruit and vegetables you mention taste the same as the ones we have here. I got to sample a very small variety when I was in the USA, and I tried to taste stuff we don't have here at all, like all kinds of something-or-other-berries, for example, not things I've already known, so I can't really compare. Clearly, I need another visit. For research purposes, right?
I can't even believe you time your steeping.
I'm bored. What can we kerfuffle about?
Still distracted by boys with the making outs. Um. Damn.
I can't even believe you time your steeping.
If I don't, I'll usually lose track over how long it's been steeping and then it's all bitter.

I can't tell if msbelle is kidding.
I don't even know who LFO is.
they did that song "summertime girls" that became huge when Abercrombie and Fitch used it in their commercials, so then you heard it on the radio AND your TV. yay!

I'm disappointed that tea-steeping turned out to be... non-controversial.
I think I'm going to make pad thai tonight.
Dingdingding! That's what we're having. I got a kit at the grocery and need to try it. I think it just comes with the noodles and the sauce and I need to add an egg. Is it ok to add chicken to it? I have chicken I need to use up. Or should I just add some shrimp?
I'm not very pad thai knowledgeable.
Owen is turning out to be my best personal trainer, ever. Every morning after breakfast, he runs to get my sneakers and starts trying to put them on my feet saying, "Time to go to the gym!" I think he really likes their child care center.
And today, Liv didn't even cry when I left--just ran off to play with toys.
Have obtained soup and saltines. Don't know how far I'll get with the soup, though.
I brew loose tea in a teapot, timed for five minutes. Unless it's green tea, then I time it for 3-4 minutes and use water that's not quite boiling.
I KID. I KID!
Not to say that I am not a giant pair of crankypants or that I do not time my own tea steeping. But I would not seriously mock someone for that (unless they timed it outloud/with a loud timer and near me).
