Oooh! YaY for the return of tea week! I am sad to admit that I’ve never made cold-brewed tes before — but I have some lovely flavors at home that I think would work well. (Btw: can I just say for the record that I am jealous of the cool weather you’ve got in Ithaca — we definitely need our cold tea here in OH

Also… I vote scones… yummmm…

Scones, please, scones!!! Gosh I adore them!
And I always make cold-brewed tea in the hot summers! I heard this in NPR for some reason.

Marshmallows! Marshmallows!
Thank you for the cold tea how to! My neighbor makes “sun tea, but it schkeeves (sp?) me out a little bit: water sitting practically uncovered in the sun full of leaves for several hours… :/
Anyway, MARSHMALLOWS! hehe

Also, I just saw the photo of the mixer that you posted on Twitter. Very pretty! You will love it! I’m excited to see all of the yummy things you make!

You know, stones just don’t sound that appetizing…

But scones do!

And thank you for the reminder that I need to get cute cookie cutters. More specifically, the ‘Motion W’ and Bucky Badger ones I saw the other day…

1) today i am drinking tea for the first time in a long long LONG time. I’m talking, several months here. I had hot brewed tea, because it is chilly and stormy today.

2) HOORAY FOR STAND MIXER DAY.
i vote stones.
or muffins.
or stones.
or muffins.
or – oh my gosh. COOKIES.

today i told Jen that my favorite food group is Cookies.
This revelation came to me when I finished eating a raspberry jam shortbread cookie with my tea.
i was thining to myself,
“self. shortbread cookies are clearly your favorite cookies”
and then i thought
“wait. no they are not. you like oatmeal cookies with lots of extras.”
and then i thought
“what about those toffee butter cookies? are those a type of shortbread?”
and then i thought
“you know. there is something to be said for a good old fashioned chocolate chip. or peanut butter. or sugar…. oh my gosh. i love cookies!”

also.
i was just thinking.
maybe i should look into a goat cookie cutter.
because you KNOW that goat cookies would be the most adorable.
goat shaped sugar cookies.
SHUGAR cookies.
ahem.
