Welcome back to Wednesday Links! The Boston area had its first real snowfall! Yay! My only complaint is that most of it happened overnight, so I couldn’t cuddle up on the couch with my heated blanket and look wistfully out the window as the snow fell. Aw well, maybe next time. I moved to Boston from Florida over a decade ago and the snow still feels so magical to me. The same with mountains. Austria … Continue reading Links: Bread, Reading Recs, & More

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I feel like things have been a blur lately, but we’re starting our Dungeons and Dragons: Curse of Strahd campaign back up again this weekend. We took a few months off due to one of our players getting married and for other, less exciting conflicts. I’ve been doing a lot of cozy gaming on my Switch in the bathtub and I got my flu shot. My responsible thing evens out my reckless … Continue reading Links: Coupons, Tea, & More

Hey there! Welcome back to Wednesday Links! This is our little cozy routine where we huddle around and talk about cool or interesting or funny things we’ve seen on the internet recently. If you’ve been keeping up with me, I had a tattoo appointment on Saturday. The artist did an amazing job on the stencil. It’s larger than I was expecting (not a bad thing!), though that meant we had to split it up. Just … Continue reading Links: Lee Pace, Fundraising, & More

It’s the last Wednesday of 2020. THANK GOD! Soon, we will be free of this hellish year. Are any of you celebrating New Year’s with lowkey plans? My boyfriend and I are toying with the idea of buying a lovely meal to pick up from a local restaurant. Obviously, we aren’t going out, but I still want to eat some fancy food! Cheers and Happy New Year! … This profile on the bucatini shortage of … Continue reading Links: Pasta, Tea, & More

The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz

The Cybernetic Tea Shop

I am a simple human. I like robots. I like tea. I like reading about people falling in love, especially if they’re gay. So when I heard there was an f/f romance about a robot that runs a tea shop, I one-clicked so hard Jeff Bezos got a bruise. The Cybernetic Tea Shop is a novella set in future-ish Seattle. The year is never specified, but it’s mentioned that AI was invented 300 years ago, … Continue reading The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz

RedHeadedGirl’s Historical Kitchen: Tea

One of the fun things about travelling in the UK is the amount of tea I drank. But this isn’t about tea, the drink, it’s about the dizzying number of things that word can mean. (And yeah, showing off some food I ate.) “Tea” can mean this: Or this: Or this: Seriously, what kind of language is English that when you say “Tea,” it could mean “a hot drink made from leaves” or it could … Continue reading RedHeadedGirl’s Historical Kitchen: Tea

True Tea Club Subscription Service

The package of Mighty Mango tea sits next to my glass tea cup which is filled with a light yellow tea. My desk is still sad.

I drink a lot of tea. A lot of tea. And I’m pretty snobby about what I drink — loose leaf only, preferably Assam or Sencha or Rooibos. I’m kind of a tea brat. I’m always looking for new teas, though, so the True Tea Club subscription service really intrigued me. This service is UK based and ships worldwide, and they kindly provided me with a sample month to review. There are three subscription levels: standard, … Continue reading True Tea Club Subscription Service

It’s Wednesday, everyone! Only a few more days until the glorious weekend and I hope you all have something fun planned! Now onto some links… … Reader Ellen has started a Kickstarter for a book and artisan tea shop, which I know is right up our readers’ alley: We’re Cid and Ellen, and we’re opening The Novel Tea in Sacramento, California. Our goal is to create a space that not only sells books and tea, … Continue reading Links: Witches, Tea, & Female Anger

Covers & Cocktails: Late Night at the Library

The year is almost over and 2016 is almost upon us! I, personally, am excited for new experiences, new books, and new butts to touch. But before you make this drink, feel free to pour one out for the year and celebrate some good things: gay marriage was legalized in the states, the U.S. discovered Canada has a hot new prime minister, and Pop Tarts came out with a maple bacon flavor. Though the drink … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: Late Night at the Library
