'Soul Purpose'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Now I have a tea habit that would be cost prohibitive if I didn't prefer weaker tea. I really love my electric kettle.
Oh, I know! I bought myself a fancy Cuisinart kettle on sale that has preset buttons for different temperatures and now I order way more tea from Adagio Teas than I need.
So, tea. Oolong family, generally. The jasmine is green though.
Of course! Because we share the same tastes so very very often.
I've spent the day catching up here, and it took longer than I thought it would. Worth the investment, and now I hope to keep up.
I had a meeting with a student at 11 today and she was amazed at how awake I was! I said I have been awake for 5 hours! 11 is the best time of the day. Most of the time my students see me after my day job, and I am a draggy tired mess.
Thing I don't have that I've been contemplating but keep telling myself I don't need and won't use enough: waffle maker.
I do have an electric kettle left by an old roommate. It does occasionally come in handy.
I am feeling MUCH less gronked than I was yesterday, but still have yet to be dressed enough to leave the house. Am contemplating Home Depot, especially during the football game that is about to start.

I've got one. My sister got it for me for Chanukah a few years ago. For a while, I was using it nearly every weekend, but I haven't used it for a few months now. (I've got a really good yeasted waffle recipe, so you measure and mix all the ingredients at night, then let it rise overnight, and then you've just got to heat up the waffle iron and pour in the batter in the morning. I am not capable of measuring stuff and following a recipe before I've had something to eat in the morning.)
Good morning! Coffee. Coffeeeeeeeeeee.
I love Adagio teas. I have bought far too much tea from them than I can possibly drink given my coffee addiction.
Walking the lovely dogs, even in weather, sounds great. And then off to see AmyP in the afternoon!
I want an electric kettle, because I keep wondering what some of the teas I love would taste like if they were brewed at the correct temperature, instead of boiling water.
If I were to go back and buy one again, I would buy this beauty: [link]
A friend of mine has this one, or something like, and it's remarkably engaging watching the water boil.
