ita, have you tried Bird Pick? You should come hang with me in Pasadena sometime and check it out. They have amazing tea drinks, and I've never seen anyone pick through the product.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

people on fb are showing pictures of dinner - while I smell the chili verde in the crock pot.
It has been a low key day - I did some grocery shopping for a friend who is going through chemo and now matt is help a friend transfer recordings made by her husband ( who passed away a year ago)

What's up with Teavana and Starbucks? I'm told I can use my starbucks card at Teavana now.
I made a green chile and sausage souffle this morning (but not really, just mostly). Ate some then graded while the kids played at home. Then we went to the grocery. I came home and made lunch for us, then started hazelnut macaroons. Then we went to the park and when I got back home, I finished the macaroons and made a brisket that is braising.
I love days at home.

I'm about to leave for a girls' weekend: two nights in Santa Barbara with a Solvang wine tour. Whee!

Pix, that sounds awesome.
One of the firms I'm trying to set up interviews with has an office in Santa Barbara, which I admit would be a lovely place to live...

Was it a better shopping experience, LeN?
no. Beau and I did not buy anything there and we felt the employees were icky.
I bet they were digging through the pineapple tea too!

Maybe I spelled it wrong?

Only mostly a souffle, or only mostly made, Kat?
I am planning my meals for the next little while and none of them are brisket or chili verde or green chile and sausage anything. At least not so far, I suppose I could still make changes...tomorrow I am having a blueberry souffle, in part so I can bop around singing that to Raspberry Beret all day, but other meals are less set in stone.
The Tea Room over in Dixon that I recently found out about but haven't been to yet has a Tea Tasting Extravaganza on its Calendar for September. I may have to go to that.
