Le Creuset has apparently launched a Pokemon kitchenware line. You could throw a glass of ice water in my face, ice cubes included, and I'd feel less attacked.
#new 'aging fanbase' meme just dropped#'did you play the gen 1 games when they first came out? here's the perfect teapot to brew yr decaf anti-inflammatory herbal tea!'#and it's honestly pretty cute. I'm not going to drop Le Creuset money on it (and I'm Team Electric Kettle anyway) but it *is* cute.

fruits in tea theorizing part 2: I think maybe it's the peels of the fruit seeping into the tea that gives it this slightly nasty taste... I think maybe there's some type of bitterness contained in the peel that is getting released into the tea. tomorrow I'm going to try the jasmine again but this time only throw in pieces without skin. nodding my head
#just thinking thoughts...#one day I'll be able to brew the perfect fruits tea.#I oversteeped again... lol...#to be fair I got distracted while attempting omelettes with scallions... so I left it in there for like 20 minutes. LMAO!#but my pot is really needy. it can ONLY boil. you can imagine how that's not conducive to omelette.#what I actually ended up with was closer to scrambled eggs because I had to keep moving the egg so it wouldn't burn...#(it still burnt anyways.)

HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP OF TEA - Making the perfect cup of tea is an exact science. Depending on the type of tea you prefer, you might need to keep the tea bag in water for a few extra minutes. For example, while white tea takes 2 to 3 minutes to make, herbal tea might take up to 6 minutes...and now you know, so you no longer have an excuse to make a lousy cup of tea :)

I get a customized box of tea every month, and have had a subscription for years now. It's my treat and morale booster, and arrive usually within the first week of the month. After I try all the teas, I leave a review for each of them, and then the next box is customized further. Plus, you get points that can be applied to receiving a free box, or more tea samples, and other various goodies. I've used mine for free boxes twice.
Through Sips by Box, I have discovered soooooo many teas. Some of them are big nope and go to a friend or neighbor. Other teas that are very yummy have resulted in me buying enough to have them daily for a month.
You take a little quiz thing to put it what you like, don't like, things you cannot have, and various other things. I have celiac disease, epilepsy, and a high sensitivity to caffeine; some ingredients in herbal teas will result in an ER visit. Not once have a received a tea with these ingredients via Sips.
If you can't afford a box for a few months, you can pause your account. I had to do this for about six (very miserable) months. It was easy and took less than a minute.
Here's the little bit the shared with me about y'all signing up:
Send a friend $15 off their first Sips by Box & 200 bonus points for signing-up using this link. You'll earn 200 points when they sign-up for a free account and 600 points if they subscribe to the box!
If you're interested, please click the link and sign up. Consider it a gift exchange and a great way to make me extremely happy. I currently have 379 points and need a 418 more so I can get a free box.
Thank you and enjoy!
#chaosfay talks#tea#I fucking love tea. this is one of the biggest things I look forward to each month. major morale booster.#I bought a three month subscription for my mom a couple years ago and she has since signed up and never been displeased#she also doesn't review them so sometimes she does receive a tea she doesn't care for and just gives it to one of my sisters. I told her to#review them but she can't be bothered to care. 'free gifts for your sister' okay cool. you do you. I think one of my sisters has signed up#as well because she love tea almost as much as I do. funny enough regarding the caffeine I do great with English Breakfast Tea#which has about the same amount of caffeine as a can of Cherry Pepsi and don't really have major side effects. I just can't have any other#caffeinated things during the rest of the day and can't have the English Breakfast Tea after noon if I want to sleep at all#I cold brew most of my teas. my fav is a peach green tea and as much as I would like to drink it all day (perfect summer tea) I can't#have more than a single 24 oz drink tumbler nor drink it after 3PM of it or I'll fail to sleep and be up all night even after edibles#so go sign up and make me a happy girl. Please and thank you.

Bejing, China with Recipe for the Perfect Cup of Tea
 Yeah, thereâs a pretty famous wall to be seen here, but oh the tea!  Bring your climbing shoes, itâs all steps!  First off let me share with you that I do not like coffee. I do not like the taste of it. I do not like the smell of it after itâs brewed. I do not like the consistency of it. I do not like how people are addicted to it and use it as an excuse to be rude or inattentive. ButâŠ

The old fashioned way to brew a great cup of coffee.Still in use today.The rest of the additives are on you of course, sugar, stevia, milk, cream, foam,whiskey, brandy ,salt ,coconut milk,etc.Each culture has taken to coffee like it is the end of the world.For ages ,I was and still are a tea drinker, like all organic drinks their original taste is an acquired taste.I have travelled much and tasted so many varieties of tea and coffee and learned about the different cultures and their rituals some still practice around this world.Coffee is âin â now and it is a high commodity in the market,which has the bean prices soaring ,giving rise to new substitutes.One of them already in the market is chicory a bitter taste leafy vegetable that dry and roasted added to some bean passes as coffee.Well,enough of my rambling ,these days Kona coffee is one of my favorite beans ,having lived in the Hawaiian island for some years.

There is easy low hanging fruit here, especially about the US and salty tea. And I'm so SO tempted.
But also I'm super in to tea and I'm bored.
The perfect cup of tea is how you want to drink it, and if you do not LIKE tea then drinking it a different way, or a different kind of tea, vastly changes it.
A pinch of salt makes things less bitter, this trick also works with coffee. But other things that affect taste are tempriture, length of time it brews, where the tea was grown, the climate, the soil, and how big the leaves are. Some of the cheapest tea has little more than dust in the tea bag while more expensive teas you will notice have more structure to the leaves.
Tea brewed in colder tempeitures needs longer and creates a different taste. It may require more tea to get the specific flavour you want, and generally it is less bitter for it. Similar thing to spices where if you cook them, use them hot, toast them first, etc, you get a different set of flavours to using them cold.
Like wine, tea can have lots of flavour profiles and colours. Assam for example is very dark, malty, and strong, it can get quite bitter. Ceylon is much lighter. Darjeeling is good with lemon, but Assam is better with milk, in my humble opinion. Lapsang Sushong is very smokey. Earl Grey
Most people will drink a mix. English breakfast is usually a mix of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan. Earl Grey is flavoured with bergamot.
White, green, and black tea all come from the same plant, just different parts of it, treated differently. Black tea can take a higher tempriture, but boiling water on green and white tea will scorch the leaves and make it very bitter. Agitating the tea can also have this effect as it releases more tannin.
As a general rule there is a tea for everyone, and a way to drink it that you will enjoy, whether that's hot, cold, mixing it with spices, flavourings, fruit, milk, sugar, lemon, and yes, even a pinch of salt.
I would not, however, recommend tea that has been in the Boston harbour.

Little life
Summary: Jake "Hangman" Seresin has always been the centre of attention, but behind the cocky aviator façade, he cherishes quiet nights at home with his pregnant wife, Y/N, as they navigate love, routine, and a life the squad knows nothing about.
Warning: This fic contains fluff, pregnancy themes, and light teasing romance.
Word count: 1068 words
Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x reader
English is not my first language so I apologies for mistakes
Part 2 Part 3
Jake Seresin was a man who always seemed to attract attention. With his easy charm and cocky grin, women flocked to him the moment they laid eyes on him. It happened every timeâat the bar, after missions, during social events. The second a woman saw him, theyâd saunter over, usually with a flirtatious smile, batting their lashes, asking him to buy them a drink.
And every time, without fail, Jake turned them down.
It confused the entire Dagger squad. Theyâd tease him relentlessly about it, nudging him with raised brows and playful smirks, wondering why someone like himâsomeone who had the looks, the swagger, the perfect call signânever took the bait. They couldnât figure him out. To them, Jake seemed like the type to indulge in a little fun, to soak up the attention and enjoy the benefits of being the golden boy.
But Jake wasnât interested.
Not anymore.
Because the truth was, when Jake wasnât flying missions or teasing his teammates, he was at home in Texas, living a life no one suspected. He had a routine, a life outside of the cocky, brash aviator persona he wore like a second skin.
That life began with you.
You sat at your desk, soft lighting casting a warm glow over your latest manuscript. The smell of ink and freshly brewed tea hung in the air, and the quiet hum of a summer night filtered through the open window. You were three months pregnant now, the couple married for a month now, and the bump had just started to show beneath your oversized sweater, a fact Jake never missed when he was home.
He sat nearby, like always, in his favourite armchair. His legs stretched out casually, one arm slung over the back, while the other held a half-empty glass of whiskey. His eyes werenât on the drink, thoughâthey were on you, as they always were.
You highlighted another line in your manuscript, frowning a little as you moved the neon marker across the page. The ruler in your handâone you used to make sure your lines were perfectly straightâhad gotten a little too stained with colour, and without thinking, you reached out and wiped the edge of the ruler off on Jakeâs hand.
He chuckled, low and warm, shaking his head in amusement. âYou know, sweetheart, there are other ways to clean that thing. Ever heard of tissues?â
You glanced at him, giving a half-smile as you continued working. âMaybe. But I prefer you.â
That made him grin wider. âLucky me, then.â
It had become a sort of routine for the two of you, especially now that you were pregnant and he was often gone on missions. When he was home, though, there was no place Jake would rather be than right here, with you, basking in the quiet moments. To anyone else, he was âHangmanââthe sharp-tongued aviator with an ego the size of Texas itself. But with you, he was just Jake, the man who found peace in the most mundane of moments.
He loved watching you work. The way your brow would furrow in concentration, how youâd absentmindedly tuck your hair behind your ear, or bite your lip when you were thinking through a tricky plot point. Jake would tease you for your little quirks, leaning over to plant a quick kiss on the top of your head when he couldnât resist anymore.
âNeed any help there, author of mine?â heâd ask, his voice teasing but soft.
Youâd roll your eyes in response, but your smile always gave you away. âI think Iâve got it covered, flyboy.â
Jake would laugh and go back to his drink, but you knew he liked being part of your world like this. When youâd first met, you had been a rising star in the literary world, already on your way to becoming a bestselling author. You were about to turn 20 in a couple weeks just before you wandered into 27 year old Jakes life. Jake never made a big deal about it, though heâd brag quietly to himself every time he saw one of your books displayed in airport bookstores. No one in the squad had any idea who you were, much less that you and Jake were married. And he liked it that way. He liked keeping this part of his life private, away from the chaos of the outside world.
With you, everything was simpler. Real.
Jake loved you in ways no one ever saw. He loved you in the stolen kisses between your sentences, in the lazy mornings in bed when you pressed your nose against his chest, in the quiet I love youâs whispered as he pulled you close late at night. You were his worldâeverything else was just noise.
As you finished another page, you sighed softly, stretching your arms above your head. Jakeâs gaze was on you in an instant, taking in the slight curve of your stomach, his eyes filled with warmth and pride. He got up from his chair and moved behind you, his large hands coming to rest on your shoulders, gently kneading away the tension that had built up from hours of working.
âTime to take a break, darlinâ,â he murmured, his lips brushing against your temple.
You leaned into his touch, closing your eyes for a moment. âJust a little longer. Iâm almost done.â
Jake let out a soft laugh, low and teasing. âThatâs what you said an hour ago.â
You smiled, but your body relaxed under his hands. You couldnât deny that the warmth of his touch and the quiet affection in his voice had a way of making you forget the world for a while.
âAlright, alright,â you relented, setting your highlighter down. âBut only because youâre so persuasive.â
Jake grinned, pressing a kiss to your neck before straightening up. He turned your chair around so you were facing him, his hands on either side of the armrests, caging you in. His eyes sparkled with that mischievous glint he always had when he was about to say something that would make your heart race.
âDarlinâ, I donât need to be persuasive,â he drawled, his Southern accent thick and smooth. âIâm your favourite distraction, remember?â
You laughed, shaking your head as he leaned in closer. âYouâre impossible, Jake.â
âAnd you love me for it,â he said, his lips brushing against yours before kissing you softly, his hand resting on your belly, feeling the life growing inside you.
And he was right, even though he was nearly seven years olderâyou did love him for it.
I may or may not have made this into a mini series so let me know if you'd like to be tagged
