I made fan art out of the first thing I thought of when I watched Servamps. 

Also, if you look closely, there’s a tiny Cancer snip-snipping in the corner.

The Tea I Drink

I don’t know why, but I guess I’m turning this into a food (well, tea) and book blog for lack of better things to do with it. At present, I have one follower I think (?), and am only on this site sporadically. So, who knows if anybody will see my posts ever. Right now, I’m reading The Keeper (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper, Book 8) by J.L. Bryan and drinking Natursan Bacche Di Bosco Fruit Tea, which has gone kind of cold.

The Ellie Jordan series is one of those series one probably shouldn’t admit to liking, but it’s got ghost hunting, snarky dialogue and a strong female protagonist and female secondary characters, which are all things I like in my books.  The series is also written by a man, which surprised me initially because I’ve found that male authors who write female characters tend to leave their female characters too 2D, even for genre fiction. I’ve just begun book eight and haven’t got too far in yet, but it seems promising; the overarching plotline(s) from previous books continues. The longest thing that ties the books together (besides the main characters and their occupation) is Ellie’s conflict with and search for Anton, this really evil pyromaniac ghost that killed her family when she was fifteenish, and whom has pursued her and haunted her specifically ever since (he’s a parasite). One of the more recent things is that the ghost-hunting company she works for just got bought out by a larger company that’s focused on making money and studying ghosts, rather than permanently getting rid of toxic ghosts and helping people as Ellie is accustomed to doing.  There’s lots of personal drama with her new (and I think very evil) boss there, as well as a very obvious reflection of current societal issues regarding ethics in business. Beyond her work life, Ellie has been making attempts at leading a “normal life”, but her outside life keeps getting drawn into her ghost hunting habits (on no small part due to Anton, the bloody sucker), which isn’t working so well. It’s very Supernatural-esque in that respect.

But before I spoil too much, this is also about tea.

What I’m drinking is a mix of hibiscus/red sorrel (”karkadè”), rose hips, apple, bilberry, elderberry, marigold, cornflower, and “aromas”. When you first put the tea bag in hot water, swirly wisps of fuschia-red leach out of it, and the effect is very pretty - it’s probably cliche, but they look like Mucha smoke wisps. 

IDK what’s up with my camera and low-res photos, but that’s what it looks like under the lens.

I got this tea at a place called “Eataly”, which seems to be an specialty foods store for people who like fancy expensive things. This tea was totally worth what I spent on it, of course, because it has a good flavor, is kind of sweet, kind of acidic, is non-caffeinated, and it’s a visually attractive tea. Also, berries.

Buonasera!

NO.S PROJECT

[somecommonbitch]

maybe the real reason george and martha never had kids was because martha wasn’t going to risk one of her kids being named like one of their dogs

[monticellomarshmallow]

This is my favourite post. Sweetlips is the funniest thing ever me. This supposed extremely dignified, serious business, all intelligent first leader, noble heroic, important, could-have-been-King, god-like figure to many American people…named his dog: Sweetlips.

Also John Adams named his dog Satan and Jefferson had a killer sheep.

American history ya’ll.
