Here you go, visuals to what milk tea with "liquid cream cheese" is all about  ;)

Its the one at the very front with white cream on top with bits of green tea powder yummmmmmmmm
Well, anytime I visit a website and see the line 'taste our special cream' I know good times are ahead! Each to their own but the thought of that makes me queasy, though it doesn't look like the devil spawn I expected.

I just finished Coming Through the Rye

I didn't like it. Maybe cause I'm not British or Scottish I legit did not understand anything Edward said. The whole thing drove me nuts. I have never skimmed a story like I did this one.  :(
Wow was it really that bad? It doesn't sound like my type of thing but I might go and look at it now just to see what you're talking about. One of my biggest bugbears in any fiction is authors focusing on an accent. It distracts me so much and looks stupid.

It's heavy on the Scottish... I mean really heavy. I was so confused even though she put translations at the beginning of the chapter  :-\

Hum. I was just getting ready to start it. Taps fingers. Now what?
I read my gazillion updates today and finished Sylvia day's pleasures in the night. That was about 200 pages too short.

What to read, what to read. Maybe The Education of Professor Cullen?

After picture perfect today, I kinda want a professor.

There's another store, Happy Lemon, that has coffee with rock salt and cheese. A cold drink and looks like the gong cha one but uses coffee instead of tea. Another tasty drink and my hubby's favorite.

That's a good fic. Easy read. I've been in a hardcore fic funk for about a week. I'm surprised I made it through CTtR

I know, right!

I slept for over 12 hours last night (this heat takes it out of a girl!) and everyone has been busy here!

I finally made it to the end and I thought everyone had gone and I'd be left talking to myself again. My responses are going to be posted next.

Just so glad that someone else is here to talk to me for a change! :-*
I'm around, but I'm also beta'ing a chapter for one of the writers I beta for & watching the Niners beat the Packers.   :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :dance:

Okay, my luck recently has been really bad.  so hopefully they continue to lead.

And I'm at my parents where there is only a plug for internet.  Well, really? The have a wifi, but when people come to visit, my dad can't find the code for the wifi to give them, so I removed the antenna.  It works in the dining room only, so I'm kind of stuck.  :P

Oh bb. It's not that hard. I have always cut hubs, and my two adult sons hair and I have had zero training.

Haircut was interesting - it was like shearing a sheep! My bro and I both have a LOT of hair - like, a freakish amount of hair! My hairdresser needs to make up double the amount of colour to normal to do my hair! My bro's hair (and probably mine - I've just never had a shaved head to know) grows in all different directions. He has all these little spirally sections all over his head. I ended up just clipping all over and then had to go back and do it all in different directions. He was happy to feel the air con on his head though, and it will all be grown back in 3 weeks anyway - I wish mine grew as quickly. I've been growing it for years and it is still only just past my shoulders!

It always make me giggle when someone buys chocolate candy and a coke zero.

Give me the leaded version. Everyone still remembers leaded gas?

I find leaded coke too syrupy. Also, if I drink it, I get the shakes and shivers and I can't get to sleep.
It might be because when I do drink normal coke it's usually in copious amounts mixed with Bundy Rum... :)

Lots of chit chat about food, fic and drink :) awesome It's like a book club meeting  :D

We'll be swapping crochet patterns next!

I was flicking through Cheryl Brooks' blog yesterday - wet willy, wet willy, giant willy, recipe for pizza, giant willy, giant willy, flowers...it cracked me up!

BTW - for whoever was looking for pictures for hockeyward, check out her post for Tuesday, January 8, 2013!

He got shitty and said "you're always on that stupid iPad. You're worse than the kids!" I said I only do that cause you're watching a movie but he said he only watches movies cause I'm ignoring him lol!

Surely your husband appreciates the education you are getting from here?  ;)

uggghhhhh, now I have to google. I rarely watch tv, so I have no clue what is on. I just got caught up with the series Once Upon a Time with season 1 & 2. Why did I start it? Well this man hit my tumblr dashboard and I was like WhoTheFuck is that?

   [/spoiler]

I have OUaT downloaded and am catching up on Arrow this week.
Colin O'Donoghue is a mix of Joseph Fiennes and the guy that played Robin Hood in the BBC series a few years ago - Jonas Armstrong



Yep, there was something about him too... ^-^

Twinings English Breakfast! Loose leaf always, but I'll make do with bags at a push; and always always warm the tea pot!

I can't say I have ever tried it, but, the idea of either tea or coffee over ice makes me gag!

Frappes are my special treat when I go out for a coffee. But I have to get them on skim because I can't drink more than a splash of full cream milk. Like with diet coke and lollies, it makes me laugh when I order skim and then they ask if I want whipped cream on top!

Has anyone here tried writing fic? I have a whole folder of half completed one-shots but I can't imagine ever posting them to FF. Authors are brave!

I'll dob in Savvy B - she writes.
I also enjoyed Demaris' efforts last week with her Jack & Jill nursery rhyme.
Did you miss my awesome talents last week?

YEAH!!! Still waiting for your fanfic writing talents to finish this... ;D

Here's the limit of my talent:

And they all woke up and it was just a dream. They all lived happily ever after. The end.

This is why I read fic and will NEVER write it!!!

What fresh hell is this?! I thought maybe it being 3am was making me see things but no, you really did say liquid cream cheese. WTF is this abomination and why are people tainting perfectly good tea with it :o As a side note, this talk of tea reminded me of the Carol Ann Duffy poem I used to love, so thanks to everyone who mentioned the nectar of the Gods! ;)

We had some weird "tea" drinks in Vietnam last year - creamy, sweet concoctions with tapioca pearls floating around. Very strange!

I'm glad that I didn't know what was in it because "liquid cream cheese" just sounds wrong!

Like, inner 12 year old boy wrong!!!

Here in Australia, the wifi boxy thing (yes - that IS the technical term!) has a sticker on the underside that has the code on it.

Ummm, what does dob mean? Is that an acronym *scratches head*  ^-^

Sorry - dob - um...to "tattle" on someone?

If someone does a crime and you report it, you dob on them, or you dob them in.

A dibber-bobber is a kid who tells on all the other kids, usually to get them into trouble, also a tattle-tale.

Does that help? Dob is such a normal thing to say here, it's hard to explain!
