lava tea and cooking oil

[asakiyume]

I have two new food treasures: One, from mnfaure (thank you my dear!), is Thé des songes, tea of dreams, which is fragrant and ethereal like dreams, but the look of it--black, with bursts of red and gold--is like the surface of a lava lake, so I think of it as lava tea.



And the other, red as blood, red as hot lava, is this bottle of palm oil!



And with this bottle of palm oil, I'm going to make *even more* of Flo Madubike's recipes. I'm going to start with this one, for fried beans.

Yummy!

Have you tried the tea yet? I'm curious as to the flavor.

I have! It's very floral, with a hint of almost strawberry in it--which makes sense, as it has, in addition to blossoms, bits of dried fruit in it. Mmmmmm. Very god.

"Very god," eh? :P

I like that typo (divine slip) because when picking out the tea for you, I thought of the visions the Lady of the Lake sent Kaya. :D

Hahahaha **perfect**

And did you notice in the conversation with khiemtran, the character for crow (at least, in Japan it's used for crow) is the first character used to write out "Oolong Tea,' which is the base tea for the Tea of Dreams!
