That’s a funny phrase, life’s a picnic. It sounds cheery, but picnics aren’t always great. Lots of planning, prep, and packing involved. Sticky fingers. Dirt. Bugs. Maybe a sunburn. Always a chance of rain. So I guess all you can do is hope for the best, invest in a stylish grill, and bring along an umbrella.
I love coffee—the smell, the flavor, the sound of the last gasp of steam whooshing from the coffee maker when the pot is ready—but ever since I switched to decaf there’s been something missing (and it’s not just the caffeine). Drinking decaf is like winning 2nd place. It’s still good, but it’s kind of a bummer. So I’m going to spruce up 2nd place with a beautiful new french press and pour some luxury back into my cup.
I have owned at least two Bodum glass tea pots and use it every day. I am an avid tea drinker and use a different tea pot for black tea and one for green tea. I have been using a traditional Japanese cast iron tea pot for my green tea and the Bodum glass tea pot for my black tea (Typhoo). After spending time in Japan it doesn’t seem right to steep green tea in an ordinary glass or ceramic tea pot. So of course I was thrilled when I found this Bodum Assam Cast Iron Tea Pot for my green tea. I love the heft and weight of the cast iron tea pot combined with the functionality of the built-in tea press. Now I can have the best of both worlds in one great looking tea pot.
Absolutely gorgeous…read more over at TheFind.
