)gather tonight for four nights of Christmas! Hopefully, a blessed one. Ed and I, our sons and wives, their 4 children, and our "sons" of the heart, one with wives and three children.
It is 34 years since Ed, I and the 4 "boys" have spent a Christmas together, when Yoshi and Leonel were here as exchange students. The two of them have not seen each other since. I hope I survive the excitement!
eh hem ... You forgot to invite your "green" adopted son ...

who would love some WV home style cooking!

Been there and done that, but long before my TeaDays.

. I am now down to 15g or less of nearly all my teas. i am hoping to get some tea on saturday, i gave very specific examples of which teas i like and where to find them so maybe i will get lucky. if not sunday or monday i expect to be making atleast one tea order.
+1!!!
Virtually every tea has been drained to less than 10 grams here! Desperate times call for desperate measures, steep sizes have been pared, reducing ratios and increasing steep times ...
If you all did not send me tea yet, don't you think you should get moving on it!
