Enjoying a cup of Earl Grey French Blue with milk while writing this.
Not only are the tea leafs beautiful. They taste delightful you seep them in hot water for 3-5 minutes and add some warm milk. Or why be bold and take your tea straight?
Today my boldness only stretched so far as picking the darker looking Stinky cup over the blue Moomin cup.
Through the tea in the cup was everything else but stinky 🙂
Today I missed my monthly tea ceremony. For some reason it totally slipped my mind. Too busy?
To compensate I bought some tea at the Mariage Freres in Ebisu. A box of 30 bags of Earl Grey Imperial for work, 100g of Earl Grey French Blue, and new Darjeleen (like a young wine, only better).
This blog post is mainly to start keep track of the different teas so I can pick my favorite. The Maraiage Freres Earl Grey I just finished was better than the French Blue I bought today (in my cup as I’m writing), but I don’t remember the name of it. Bummer.
Well, they only have the following Earl Grey variants at Mariage Freres so just 15 to go 🙂
So currently my rating is:
Stay tuned for Top 10 to crystallize 😉
10 days since I “crashed” with my bicycle, and part of my right face is still numb as if I am just out from a root canal fill at the dentist. So I decided to take a trip to the hospital.
Had a quick talk with the Doctor, who decided to take an X-ray. It took less than 3 minutes, and after another 5 minutes I was back with the Doctor looking at my X-rayed face.
The first thing that hit me was… No wonder I’m stupid, there’s no brain 😉
Turns out nothing is broken. The numbness is caused by a damaged nerve close to the cheek bone. Basically where the impact was last Wednseday morning.
Got tons of Medecine that I will skip most of. One is to take care of the side effects by another. Stupidity… Take this so you don’t get sick from taking this so you get well. How screwed up is that? I’m sticking with the Vitamin B12 supplement though (the red obes to the right). It can help with nerve damages (if there is a deficiency).
Chie and I went out for some shopping today. We spent some time at Tokyo International Forum where they regularly have flee markets. We bought a few Japanese plates. On our way home we stopped at a shop, and bought some more 🙂
Quicker than writing it down and just takes a little bit of tongue tweeking… And you can get both the section and pocket numbers into a photo so you can find your way back to your car 🙂
