Looks like there are a bunch of recipes online for SoCo cake. :twisted:

I don't know why I never thought to google it before. :oops:

I've already started my search, so far none sound like hers, but I'm going to keep looking!

Interestingly, not a single "no" vote. I think that is a great compliment to the TeaChat community as a whole. :idea:

I am thinking about finishing the day with O/FTC Ancient Tea Tree Flowers from Rishi. That and some SLT remains of the day. 8)
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

I just started using TeaChat about a month ago, and it's helped me out tons. Through this I've been able to connect to other tea fiends out there and I'm getting great feedback on my blog.

Thanks everyone! I hope that I can be of help to new members in the future too

I definately learned a lot from TeaChat. It definately has not helped my bank account though :P . I've received less than helpful replies on occassion but most of my teachat experience has been a good one. I tried a puerh sample today and I think it has upset my stomach. Yuck!

Tea Chat has been great, and Chip's my personal hero.

Tonight I'm drinking more of this quaint yet intriguing awacha.

Tea Chat definitely helped me tremendously since I joined. I learned so much about tea, brewing vessels, online vendors, how to brew, and other random facts in the months that I have been a member.

It has been a long day today. The only tea that I actually got a chance to drink was some Organic Monk's Blend. I got talked into taking my mother shopping in the morning and then had a 3 hour drive back to school in the afternoon. Now it is 2am and I am to the point of being too tired to want to sleep. Thankfully, my college is still on vacation tomorrow.

Hope you are sleeping in and get some rest today CK.
Nothing wrong with a little cap nap later to catch up
too. Have your favorite tea and a day to relax.
