OMG, today has been an awesome day, guys. Because it’s a long weekend, and where I live, this particular long weekend is host to the local Rotary ribfest.
Ribs! Omnomnom.
But it gets even better: last week I saw a contest advertised in the local paper to become a judge for ribfest. So I entered – and I won! And I got to go to the ribfest and eat a WHOLE LOT of ribs for free! A rib each from 11 vendors total – all in less than an hour! And afterwards I had a roast corn on the cob with butter and lemon pepper.
People, it’s about 6 hours later and I’m STILL stuffed. Just a huge pile of meat resting in my belly. And I also bought a pretty new hat with a wide brim so I can walk around in the sun without sunglasses.
Anyways, this tea. I thought when I got home that I would top things off with some lapsang souchong after the barbacue smorgasborg, but I just thought it would be too much of a good thing. So I had this instead. I steeped it for 4 minutes, but I think I should have gone for 5. I get hints of malt and sweet potato, but not much else aside from the smoothness.
But yes! Today was a good day! And yesterday I got my new laptop, which I’m typing on right now! MEAT and TECHNOLOGY – the source of many good things, alongside TEA.

That sounds awesome, even if you do end up with the meat sweats after a day like that. :)
I did have some trouble sleeping, but I couldn’t tell if it was that, or if it was because of my husband, who is a giant furnace. Great for winters, not so much for summer.
