I left behind the gutting of Ethel (only the best fridge, ever), for another trip to Barnes. It was so busy when we got here that we had to sit at different mini tables. But once the bar opened, we moved.
Tried a new herbal hot tea, Autumn something. Tasted like the ass-end of a candle, so Amanda made me a new one. Back to my mint yum. And with it, a teeny piece of pure cacao, brought from home. And oh my gosh, so flippin' good.
I may very well use "ass end of a candle" to describe terribly tasting teas from this day forth... as appropriate of course :) Glad you swapped! Mint is yumtacular!
ReplyDeleteDid you end up finding something good to eat. I read your post. I know, sometimes it's hard when we're hungry but nothing sounds good.
DeleteThe mint is a safe tea for me. Glad you enjoyed the ass-end, bit. That's how I described to Amanda when I went back to get my regular, mint.
great that you got a replacement tea!
ReplyDeleteIt's an old standby, but a good one. How were your leftovers? I hope yummy.
DeleteMint yum ... definitely sounds the best.
ReplyDeleteBesides which I like the colour of the writing on that mug!
All the best Jan
It's an old standby, but a goodie.
DeleteLOL, ass end.... wonderful! Love it! Happy Fall!
ReplyDeleteOr arse-end, depending ...
DeleteMine is usually half burnt without much sweetener most of the time... So we can tolerate most (not "flavored") coffee...
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of different flavours out there, these days. All kinds of coffee mixes.
DeleteNever heard of the "ass end of a candle..." too funny, Ivy.
ReplyDeleteNow, of course, I am wanting a Cherry Handpie...
Hey bj, nice to see you today. Hope your day is going well.
DeleteIt did smell like the ass end of the candle. It was stinky and I doubt the ass end of anything is going to taste great.
ReplyDeleteVery true.
Delete"ass-end of a candle" BAHAHAHA! I love that. Great way to describe something that makes your stomach do summersaults and your nostrils flare!
ReplyDeleteIt would make for a great Yankee Candle.
DeleteNever heard that before Ivy, but it is a good one.
ReplyDeleteI got it from my husband.
DeleteThe ass end of a candle?
ReplyDeleteYes, the worst bits of the candle.
DeleteNow Ma'am we need you to stop tasting the candles
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteI love mint tea, and Ivy, I am really loving your doodles, you have a great talent! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda.
DeleteOh, by the way, bacon was not on my list on my meat poll...however, I do have "pork" or "other". There are too many meats...bison, deer, horse, goodness gracious, so I just kept the poll brief. LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteTrue. But bacon for me is a big one. I don't think of it as I would a pork chop or ham. Bacon is its thing. Good bacon, anyway.
DeleteTo me all teas are: "ass end of a candle"

Herbals teas, I love them, but many do smell and taste of candle.
