STONE TEMPLE PILOTS COVERED ONE OF MY FAVORITE ZEPPELIN TRACKS
man I don't think I gave "Stairway to Heaven" enough credit for being a GOOD song, because it's so kinda societally expected as to be kind of a joke
and the lyrics really are a little like someone's first brush with paganism before they rush out and get their first Llewellyn book
but shit this is really good
@topaz oh how cool! Apparently I've been making genmaicha wrong all this time. I'm not great with tea, since my introduction to tea drinking was my dad and HIS introduction was what, a British chemistry department? so it's all about the "dump hot flavored water down throat quickly"
@topaz https://www.tenren.com/ti-kuan-yin-tea-bags.html this shit's a great buzz for me, so it might really put you to sleep, ymmv
@topaz the bakery where I used to work really liked doing loose leaf tea in a *French press* would you believe it? And since tea leaves aren't as fine as coffee grounds it wasn't as much a pain in the ass to clean up afterwards. If you can find one, sometimes there are teakettles with this integral basket where you dump the water through and let it steep
@topaz OH! But the big reason I was thinking of this the other night was 'cause of Taisun Mixed Congee, which is canned sweet bean glop, and usually a place that has that stuff will have like peanut soup and things, canned stuff that might work really well for quick blood sugar.
@topaz Koreana Plaza used to be my fave place to shop while I lived in Oakland/Alameda but I don't remember what their selection of tea was like. The Ranch 99 Market in Richmond is pretty good too AND they're in the same complex as has a Tea Ren, which I used to like for my favorite Ti Quan Yin
@topaz I'm okay. This was NOT one of the worse visits with my parents, so I'm less caught up in how dealing with them feels terrible, and feel worse about how crummy things currently are for *them* right now. I'm definitely feeling like a shower in a bit, maybe having half an edible.
I'm looking forward to drawing and reading tomorrow tho. Maybe going to a fave Chinese place and getting congee with pork and century egg.
@topaz *whuffs*
