Tea for two, or three, or four...

I generally love Twinings anything, but I felt the need to rave about a special blend of theirs: Camomile, Honey, and Vanilla. I find camomile on its own rather bland, and usually drink it to soothe me to sleep. But add honey and vanilla to it... Well, I could just sit and sniff it all day. Actually, I do.
The fragrant aroma weaves its way around the room. I can taste honey in the air, and vanilla, and camomile. If I could eat air, I would.
As it is, I sit and inhale (probably with a dopey look on my face, but who's looking?), and as soon as I've downed one mugful, I promptly go and make another one!
Mmmm. Can you smell it yet?

Ritter's Winter Creation

I love Ritter's square chocolates, and I love marzipan. I usually have to wait for a kid's birthday party to get my hands on a square inch of marzipan and have it all to myself. But Ritter had the bright idea of FILLING their chocolate with marzipan. Yuuuuummmmmmy.
And now, as their Winter-Kreation, they have NEU, Orangen-marzipan.
I impressed myself with the knowledge of my German that I previously thought was non-existent.
Sprachen zie Deutsch, anyone?

Magic Juice

This is a photo of an empty bottle of Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail. Why is it empty? Because it never lasts longer than 2 days in our house. I buy it whenever I am down with a cold (actually I'm usually too sick to buy it so I send my loving spouse to run this errand), and since it is simply loaded with Vitamin C, I am back on my feet by the 2nd day. Ergo, it only lasts 2 days in our house.
I love it.
Works every time, kills the germs, and cleanses my system.
I truly believe in it.
Besides which, I love the taste. Yum.

Only the things I absolutely love

This is my personal pledge: to only blog about things I absolutely adore, am passionate about, rave, jump up and down with excitement over, on this blog.
That's it. I've said it.
Drumroll please...
