here’s how my evening has gone…

just after four thirty I climbed into the car to head home for my two week vacation… woo hoo…

for my supper I had raisin scones with melted cheese and a side of radishes… the scones were a gift from a colleague… I love them and am always thrilled when she brings them to work for any occasion… what a lovely treat…

to finish my evening I had some of my Ginger Peach Teamate with almonds and the last bit of hummingbird chocolate maker’s 85% Hispaniola…

pretty excellent start to my vacation…

tea…

on Thursday I ran across to the CityPlace Farmers Market looking to refresh my stash of Teamate loose tea…

I really love their Ginger Peach and often make it in the evening using my wonderful Wall left handed tea mug… but sometimes it feels like too much effort… I usually make tea in a thermos, take the bag out after it has steeped and then have it for the next while… I don’t want to use loose tea in my thermos as it would be very difficult to get it clean afterwards…

a friend mentioned they had suggested to the tea person that they should put it into teabags… what a brilliant idea…

as it happens I have tea bags from David’s Tea, so I filled a few and then put them back into the empty Teamate package…

this morning I used one of those bags…

worked perfectly… and way less work…

made me think of my beloved… our all time favourite tea was Apricot Ginger from Twinings… we were so sad when it was discontinued and we never did find a good replacement… until now…

I’ve spent the day watching figure skating… drinking my tea and remembering how my beloved would watch tv in the basement, particularly when I was watching skating, so he wouldn’t have to watch it, lol…

sure do miss him…

had a fun time at the Farmers Market today… it was in the Hydro Building… think it’s the first time I’ve been to it in there…

found treats at every turn, lol…

so happy to get more of this delicious teamate tea… and it was on sale… going to make a cup tonight…

found a few bars of chocolate… some from Constance Popp, and some from Aschenti… going to have a piece of one of them with the tea;-)…

and found this cool wooden BBQ cleaner… might end up being a present, not quite sure yet…

fun time… next week they will be outside…
