This week - Tazo Vanilla Apricot White
"Alluring hints of creamy Tahitian vanilla and notes of fresh, juicy apricots in a golden brew that positively glows in the cup"
Cost: Was $3.59 at Super Target, $2.78 red-stickered clearance price. Grab a great deal and a great tea.
Number of teabags: 20
Caffeine: Yes
Type of tea: White
Steeping time: 3 minutes
Double-Dipping potential: Yes, 5-6 minutes
Mix ins: A touch of sugar brings out the deliciousness
Teabag fragrance: Fruity apricot
Ingredients: White tea, natural flavors
Taste: Apricot-y!
Opinion: If you love apricots, the flavor and the color, you will love this tea. Brew it in a cream or white colored mug to appreciate the pretty color. The vanilla is not really detectable other than to add balance to a great taste. Can't wait to try this iced, too. Kudos Tazo for another pretty box design.
Rating: 5 teabags
I love trees but not when they are looking for love!
(This is my front yard Red Oak tree.)
Anyhoo, while on a "Benadryl Bender" yesterday, I bought 7 yards of fabric at High Fashion Fabrics. I'm getting ready to try Sandra Betzina's Today's Fit Vogue 1164 in the short sleeved version and whip up a couple of old fav 2945's. Seriously, have you grabbed these two patterns yet? Discontinued 2945 may still be available on the Vogue website. And one of my 1164 versions was passed around the ladies room at last weekend's Houston ASG Sue Hausmann event. (She was great by the way!) All shapes, all sizes, all loved it. (FYI: Next Vogue $3.99 sale is March 18/20)
Toodles! I need to finish washing the fabs and hit the sewing room -- I'm not wasting this antihistimine buzz!
Thank you, floozy oak tree!
I can't wait to try some of them. Right now I seem to be on a Cooking Light bender. I like the format of this book better than the first, which was organized by seasons.
If you subscribe or buy the Everyday Food magazine, you may recognize some of the recipes. This is a good way to "catch up" on what you've been missing, or be able to grab and thumb through at a moment's notice. I don't know about you, but my attention span is easily diverted when I start delving into past issues looking for recipes. At least I can hope to resurface relatively faster with this book handy.
