This weekend was so much fun for me. My daughter was with me and we managed to find time to do a little exploring. We went to this really cool Japanese dollar store that is about 2 miles from my house. I've been dying to go there and it was all I thought it would be. We bought a fist full of chopstick (ornamental) for wearing in our hair as well as other goodies.
We also were treated to gelato by my ex BF. He's been very supportive of my kids and their school grades. My daughter has all As and one B so we celebrated.
Last but not least on my fun list was an unexpected find at the Mall. Not clothing, though that does make my heart flutter a little, but a new tea shop. I didn't think there was such a thing. I discovered it while burning time waiting for a friend. There were literally hundreds of blends of teas. Green, black, oolong and herbal. Even Macha tea, which I'm not familiar with but eager to try. When money allows I would like to go pick some up as well as the "blooming" teas. You put a small "ball" of tea leaves in a cup and poor hot water over it. As it seeps the ball blooms into a beautiful "flower". I spent about 45 minutes looking and smelling my way around the store. I ended up buying three types, including one that comes in those pretty pyramid shaped brewing bags of silk.
So, the question of the day is ........... what is your favorite type of tea? My new favorite is a cassis and blueberry black tea. Very fragrant, light fruity taste with hints of cassis.
