I have been tagged by Deb to list 5 obsessions, then tag other people.
I am obsessed with:
- Tea and Coffee, but you all knew that already.
Music, yet another obsession of mine. I can’t go one day without some kind of music. I have a radio implanted in my head…or maybe it’s an iPod.- Knowledge. I am forever looking for books and reading new things. I love to seek information.
- Shopping for bargains. It gives me a sadistic thrill to find the things that I need at lower prices somewhere else. It gives me a high like no other.
- Writing. Writing is like speaking. If I couldn’t speak, I would have to be able to write. If I can’t write or speak then I think I shall die.

Yes. I am staring down the leftover corn and thinking: Gee, that would taste pretty marvelous inside a fritter. I haven’t had them in a long time. Of course, thinking about them makes me think of hush puppies. Now I am making myself drool… because the next thought is to bake some cornbread and then fry it up since I do happen to have some strawberry preserves here.
Oh gosh, now what? What will I make? Cornbread for dinner sounds good but fritters for breakfast. MMM. Yeah. I think that is the plan. How will I make the fritters? Very simple. I use the same basic pancake recipe that I used in my apple pancakes and just substitute apple for corn… and DON’T put it in the blender. You want all that kernely goodness intact. That’s what makes the texture so very special.
OR I might just try this other recipe and get my fat calories in for the day.

The last loose tea I bought was from Ebay, but I want to establish one place that I can buy from on a regular basis. I enjoy both Japanese and Fine Chinese Tea. It really depends on the type that I am looking for. My favorite thus far are Formosa Oolong teas. I am looking for white teas, though. For whatever reason I have never had any white teas. I just discovered yellow tea, as well.
This company has a long list of teas that are available in loose form. They are set up so you can find the ones you want easily, as well as discover new blends and types without having to search all over the Internet. I love the pictures of the teas, so you can get a real feel for what you are ordering. They also have teas available in bags. The prices aren’t too bad either. I found my very favorite flavor Jasmine Green Tea for only $2.50 for 15 grams. I am bookmarking the site because I am running low on this one AND they take Paypal AND they have flat rate shipping for only $4.

I just launched a new blog called Teacup Terrorist. I know, I know…yet another blog which brings me to a whopping 10 again. At least it’s not 12 ! After seeing this other woman who had at least 60 blogs that she keeps up with on a regular basis, no one can ever say that I have too many again.
Anyway, Teacup Terrorist is all about my obsessions: tea, cocoa, coffee…and maybe a little pepsi thrown in…but mostly the Trifecta of Terror.
Do have the teabags for it?
Check it out!

I love tea pots, tea cups, and original handmade crafts. Original czech handmade pottery is so pretty. I was looking at their pretty teacups and nearly fainted. They are inexpensive and beautiful. I love this teacup. Something about the green is so alluring. They are functional, too…not just pretty pieces to stare at on a shelf. It’s $5.
They also have hand crafted wooden puzzles for children. The dog puzzle is adorable. They are only $12.
The only killer is the shipping is like $15. They are located in the Czech Republic, so it is understandable that shipping isn’t cheap. They do take paypal, though. That’s always a plus.

I got my beautiful coffee today. I ordered three kinds of drinks:
So those are the ones I got. If you go to BocaJava and decide to buy, please let them know I sent you with my email addy kingzjewel (at) yahoo (dot) com. I have been buying their coffees and hot drinks for a while now. I am a silver member and get ten percent off all my purchases. Dingbat me *my mother hates when I call myself that* forgot to double check the what I ordered and I ended up with whole bean caramel kiss. It’s okay, though, because I found out that my mini-chopper will do a fine job of grinding the beans up. No more caring which one I get! YAY!
As for my son… Read the rest of this entry »

Yes! I am getting my free turkey for T-day. Praise God! Less money out of my pocket. You just don’t know! Wow…and here I was all upset…but I prayed for them to change their minds and they did!!! Thank you, Jesus. It’s the little things in life that make everything worth it.

I told you all that I love to drink japanese green tea, among the many others that I drink. Since getting my new tea pot from I have been drinking more loose teas. The health benefits are beyond compare.
Green tea is full of antioxidants. It prevents healthy cells from turning cancerous, too. I find it helpful with keeping me from getting sick. If I drink two cups a day, I feel full-body wellness. Green tea is known for its power to reduce stress and aging.
Many people don’t know that green tea also helps maintain cholesterol, liver health, and intestine wellness. Take a look at the many forms of green tea and other health benefits and you may just pick up my tea habit.
Today I was drinking a black tea called Ceylon and it’s from Sri Lanka. I will write more about THAT tea on my other journal in a few.
