hello Sai. I believe that nenna has scones!
|
Yes! Would you like one?
|
Oh yes thank you I love scones and teacakes too. I think I need a cup of tea.
|
I'll take one too! Hey Nenna, do we got any of that black cherry tea you were talking about? we should make that!
|
I have a box of it but don't know the first thing about making tea, one of you do it! *Passes around the scones*
|
you don't know how to make tea? it's easy you just need to boil water.
|
*takes a scone and devours* alright....I've only made tea a few times, but if its in little tea bags, then I can stick mugs of water in a microwave and make tea! anything more is beyond me...
|
I think they're tea bags... but every time I try to cook it turns out horrible so I think it's best if Kat does it. *Hands the box of bags over to Kat*
|
Well you can make tea that way too but basically you heat the water, then rinse the pot with hot water before filling it with fresh. Then you add the tea to seep for several minutes. I like using a tea ball so I can remove the tea after about three or four minutes.
|
*skips over to find a microwave* I thought you just boiled the water and stuck the tea bags in it and waited until the brewed the appropriate amount of likeness. how do you mess that up?
|
I always find a way to mess it up. But Saiya seems to really know what's going on.
|
oh yes, let Saiya make us tea!!
|
Alright I will make tea for everyone, you can mess tea up by the way. Tea contains tannin if it seeps too long it can turn bitter.
|
well, yeah, I've done that and if you don't let it seep long enough its just gross. Whatever, I have my dad help me a lot of times.
|
I used to know how to do the Japanese tea ceremony but it's been way too long and I don;t have all the things for it anymore.
|
a real Japanese ceremony is really complicated and ridiculously formal! I've seen part of one and it was pretty wow!
|
I heard the formal tea party takes place inside a building with an opening so small you literally have to crawl through.
|
Yes it is but I was fascinated by Japanese culture way before it was popular to be. I guess I still am considering I spend $700 on an entire kimono set two years ago.
That's because it's supposed to humble the particapants |
Oh wow! I bet the obit took up a good chunk of that, it's the most expensive part. I'm assuming a wig wasn't included in that, it seems far too cheap for that to be the case. What's the design? It sounds so pretty!
It's so mainstream now I don't think it's considered cool anymore so much as normal to know a bit about Japan. It's just the weirdos like us who learn to speak Japanese and watch documentaries on the country. *Sigh* I wish I were better at retaining languages. |
I wish I were too Nenna. I'm picking up stuff in my classes though. I truly love my class on china and japan, but its way too hard!!
did you know that most people think that Japan is overpopulated, not underpopulated like it is? |
I did think it was overpopulated. But I think on some level I understand that it's really only the cities that are overpopulated and what farming areas there are are wide open. But I mean... it's a bunch of mountainous islands, there aren't a lot of livable places so of course all the people are going to gather there. I hate mountains, I wouldn't want to live in them!
|
Well mountains are pretty, we lived between two ranges in Montana. But I really didn;t like it, the guys did though. there was really nothing to do.
|
I love being in mountains!!
|
"I'm afraid I like cities best. I lived in the country too much growing up. I like the excitement. Okay tea's ready." starts pouring it into the cups.
|
I'm terrified of heights, add cars into the mix and it's just plain ugly. I hate driving through mountains! If I'm the one driving I slow down grandmother speeds, if I'm not driving I feel out of control and will gasp, flail, and possibly cry the entire time. For some reason I can walk the same road and feel perfectly at ease. :/
Edit: Horray! Thank you very much for the tea. ^^ |
