the cider house rules

hot apple cider. mmm yes, sir. That is some good beverage. Today I ordered it at El Diablo coffee on Queen Anne (funny little coffee shop adjacent to Queen Anne books). I think they might have put a bit of lemon in with it, which makes it really good. And of course, a cinnamon stick to top it off (and eventually sink to the bottom). This is easy to make at home (obviously).

With the holidays approaching, this is a good choice. Drink up!

my first drink post

lately, I have been obsessed with tea. It's so clean in flavor and texture. Anyway, the tea I would most suggest is Tazo Zen green tea. Yummy mixture of green tea, lemongrass, spearmint and I add honey to sweeten it. Steep however long you want, depending on your preference for flavor. I usually put the tea bag in and accidentally forget about it for 10-15 minutes. tastes pretty good still.

there are multiple benefits to drinking green tea, none of which I will take the time to list here. Do your own research if you so desire. But one thing i have noticed is that it provides a good amount of caffeine for late night studying but not too much that I stay up all night cursing the tea leafs.

make yourself a dang quesadilla

seriously, cheese, tortillas shells and tortilla chips have saved my life this quarter. I wouldn't eat it for every meal but a quesadilla is a good, quick meal. I use colby jack cheese on mine because i like it. And today I added some ground beef that I had left over from community group. tasty, yes. I'm also quite the fan of nachos. yum.
