FY!

Finally, we have a fridge at work again. Plus, we got cake. Is it my birthday? Oh yeah, it's the birthday dude's birthday, but score nonetheless.

B B Doughnuts

My coworker brought in two boxes of donuts from BB Donuts, and the one that looked like either blueberries or chocolate chips caught my eye. Coworker told me it was blueberries and so, loving blueberries, I tried that particular one, and boy, am I sure glad I did. It was the best cake donut I have had up to this point in my life. To be polite I took only one, but during lunch after everyone had had the chance to get theirs, I went to look in the boxes, and there was one left. I didn't hesitate to claim it for myself for the next morning. Next morning, I nuked it for 20 seconds, and it still tasted sublime, albeit a little greasy, but it's a donut. I am definitely going to this place myself and will try to stop myself from getting a whole box of only blueberry donuts.

Tea

I've really been on a tea kick lately. I guess it has to do with the combination of trying to get used to caffeine because I love coffee and tea, the unbearable cold temperature in the office, and office recently getting the convenient UV treated water dispenser with hot water option.

Alas, weaklings who just clear 5 feet just don't take to caffeine too well, so I have been test tasting infusions (other plants you brew like tea which aren't the tea plant) as well. I first tried peppermint which wasn't too good. Then, I looked up chamomile and was intrigued by the fact that the internet said it smelled like apples. I bought that and a whole bunch of other teas from HEB for $10. The other ones I bought were a chai white tea and Tazo calm. Got the chai white for the lower caffeine content and the cute tin and the Tazo for the fancy looking box. The chai white was awesomeness. It smelled slightly of cinnamon and and also had a light tea taste. It also seemed to be lower in caffeine as I was wasn't a jittery mess after enjoying it.

Now, the Tazo had everything but the kitchen sink as an ingredient which was very intriguing at first, but the first time I made it, the pungent odor reminded me of a field, which is not necessarily something you want to drink. I also laughed at my coworker calling it a puddle when I told him of all the various ingredients, although it probably wasn't that bad. The earthy taste of it made me decide it might be better with honey than the sugar I originally used.

Conclusion: I guess if I have to drink something that tasted like a field, I would drink it with honey.

Grapes, Slightly Crunchy

These were a bunch of awesome grapes I ate today. Crunchy might not be the right word, but they really had a bite to them, like if grapes could be scrumptiously crunchy, these grapes would totally be it. It was a big difference from the yucky, slightly mushy, green grapes I have been eating for the last week.

I noticed that most of my posts here are about food, either that, or a bitchfest. Welcome to my life. Ha.

Cinnabon-Like Cinnamon Buns from Pilsbury

I bought the Pilsbury Cinnamon Buns made with Cinnabon cinnamon and cream cheese icing to try again since the first time I screwed it up and undercooked it. I blame it on the crazy time variations they have in their instructions. And not me. Yeah. 18-25 minutes? WTH? You know how hard it is to check a cinnamon bun for doneness with all the melty cinnamon all over it?

Actually, the first time i bought the one with Cinnabon cinnamon but with regular icing. The one with the cream cheese icing is better, but may I suggest to Pilsbury that they use the Cinnabon dough too? They might as well, right? This dough is kinda funky and ruining the Cinnabon cinnamon and icing just a tad.

No Big Man, No Biggie

How about them Rockets? That was so awesome watching them annihilate the Lakers with no Yao in the lineup. Although, awesome to me means watching it quietly (mostly) at home by myself. All the raucous and crazy screaming is not for me. This is probably the reason I enjoy watching at home more than actually attending. I also actually like listening to the commentators which I don't think most avid sports fan do, because they do their own analyzing, but I admit I'm such a fair weather fans sometimes. So, I just like to sit back, relax and let the pros tell me what's going on. I know, it's weird. I don't mind the typical sports spread though. Wings, nachos, chips, pizza. Well, I guess any junk food. Yeah, just give me all that on a table with no one else around, and a basketball, baseball, or tennis game on, and I'm good to go for the next two hours or so.
