Sipdown (98)!
Break tea at work! I’m trying not to spend so much money on fancy, unnecessary food at work by bringing my own lunches but it’s certainly hard when you work at a grocery store. Yesterday I wound up getting another tin of David Rio Chai – the green tea base one this time. I figure since it looks like hot chocolate mix I can get Tre drinking it too, and then feel less guilty. I also bought laundry detergent (it was my turn), and more fancy ass cheese.
This time I got a Wensleydale cheese called Pineapple Twist. It’s really sweet, and a little crumbly and tastes like cheesecake! But with my favourite fruit in it! It was a new one that the cheese department had just got in stock, and I probably asked the poor Cheese Ambassador a bajillion questions about how to pair it with food and what to eat it with. In the end she told me it was good with berries, or just straight. Straight is good. I can handle straight says the not straight person. Tre yelled at me when I got home for buying more cheese. We have too much cheese right now.
Tea wise, I cold brewed the last of this one. I meant to do a shorter cold brew, but wouldn’t you know I forgot this was in the fridge so the reality is that it was cold brewed for close to a full day. The result is that this was very strong. Seriously; SO MUCH GINSENG. And then the licorice-y flavour that comes with ginseng, and natural earth/tree flavours. I want to describe it as tree bark, but as I child I have had tree bark before and the flavour I tasted and what I’m remembering DO NOT MATCH.
Oh well. It was actually a very good cold brew, despite being a very intense/concentrated one. I really hope my Step Mom will like it; she’s always so critical of the things I’ve gifted to her in the past. As for me, I’m a little “Ginseng-d out”, so even though I have some of DT’s Ginseng oolong there’s no rush to drink it. Afterall it is a discontinued blend now, so gotta hoard it, right?

Tell Tre that there’s no such thing as too much cheese! Impossible!
I would have cheese for every meal if I wasn’t somewhat intolerant! Too much cheese? Naaaah. :D
It’s impossible to have too much cheese! Especially cheese that tastes like cheesecake.
