I made gingerbread cookies :3 They started out like ginger snaps and taste just as good 'stale' ie, slightly soft ginger cookies.

My grandfather is Russian and I have to say Germanic and Eastern European countries do the best breads, pastries, cookies and cakes... and cured meats. They are just badass at christmas in general. He buys me these- a sort of cross between marshmallow and meringue

Unfortunately, there was no ganja in that batch (parents-friendly) but there was most certainly alot of ganja in these ones

OOOH, so pretty Racerboy! And so generous! Your ma must love you!!

Noes, I didn't use the Reeses' bar in the cookies, it was just out on the table to bring my ma on the tea tray. I buy her Reeses' bars when I go out but I HATE peanut butter. Except maybe for the mini peanut butter cups or peanut Hershey Kisses...

i didnt have the coin either but to veer away from making someone happy and as important as someone like your mother, i just couldnt let an opportunity like that pass up. money is temporary happieness but a gift like that will be remembered into my 90s.

the one i got is more of a turquoise color though, i thought it was a bit more feminine.. :D
Nice, I'd like that RB. Did you get that at Teavana? I was just there today looking at cast-iron pots and bought some tea. Cranberry Singapore Sling. It's so fucking good.


Edit: Lol, read thread then post. Noob mistake.

Nice. It smells so good in there. We got acouple Oolongs that we brought back from China so we haven't but any in a minute. I didn't drink tea a day in my life until I met my wife and now I'm a teaholic. We've been taking their red teas and adding our own fresh fruits and brewing them in this glass kettle. It's a nice presentation when we have guests over.

my mom's always been a tea drinker, so through her i've also been one pretty much since a baby i'd say.. she pretty much usually only drinks like english breakfast or earl grey, but if she's making a cup for herself she'll drink something a bit more exotic...

about 20 years or so ago i used to work in a coffee and tea store in the local mall.. learned tons about both coffee and tea, but even back then i wasn't really big into coffee and still preferred me tea over it..
