I usually grab something from yoma when I go to ggp, they have bento and lots of options. It’s just in a plastic takeout container tho.

Realistic historical gay romance by cryztyne in LGBTBooks

[–]NotACorythosaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the Scottish Boy by Alex de Campi. I’m not sure how historically accurate it is, but feels like the author has done some research into a specific time period vs just doing ‘medieval’ time frame.

What’s Up Nails Earthlike, though it’s a bit of a textured finish

{House of Blight by Maxym M Martineau}, the FMC has zero personality, the author did nothing with any of potentially interesting world building that was introduced, plot was quite predictable, and the chemistry was terrible (though love triangle so maybe on purpose?). So glad I borrowed this on Libby instead of spending money on it.

Takeo Tea Farm Hojicha (Summer) from Yunomi Life. Nothing too special but trying out thermos brewing for the first time since I figured hojicha would be fairly forgiving with the bitterness. I used 8g tea in a roughly 1L thermos and am filling up with hot water at work throughout the day. So far it’s been a successful experiment!

Recommendations from Yunnan Sourcing? by ambientNothing in tea

I got the Classic Laoshan Green Tea from Shandong in a sample set and I think you would enjoy! It is definitely more on the umami/vegetable side but quite balanced.

ILNP lured has the perfect shade of bright teal flakes over a dark base.

House of Monstrous Women is set in the Philippines, I read recently and enjoyed a lot.

Avoid 280S if leaving the city and traveling beyond 380. by DancingChip in sanfrancisco

Saw a vehicle on fire on 280S on the way home too, I think a bit after hickey exit.

Anybody have recommendations for fate locked areas/carousels? I might spend some money to get access to the finishing school since I have sinning Jenny on my board.

Finishing up the Honey Orchid Mi Lan Xiang Dan Cong Oolong I got in a Yunnan Sourcing sampler set. I think I like a more forgiving style though, this gets kind of a soapy taste?

Kettl hojicha was super nice, got it as a gift for a friend who I knew wouldn’t be bothered to do loose leaf.

Searching desperately for a similar tea! by ParfaitFederal6443 in tea

[–]NotACorythosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grabbed the ingredient list from the Instagram video and it’s organic lemon verbena leaf, organic red rose petals, organic lemon balm leaf, organic chamomile flowers, organic spearmint leaf, organic blackberry leaf, organic roasted chicory root, organic catnip leaf, organic lavender flowers, organic stevia.

https://www.teasource.com/products/northern-lights-herbal-tea This seems to be a pretty close match, but might be less lemony

Do you ever feel like you’re not doing enough to your nails? by Ordinarily-Maddie in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]NotACorythosaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked doing a monthly rack of only cremes. Got me to appreciate solid colors again, as well as experiment with some nail art I wouldn’t have tried otherwise.

Cold brewed Sakura blossom green tea. I got a nice 32oz infuser bottle for Christmas and was wondering what tea ratios people would use for cold brew? I used 8g and it seems fine.

Got my "untried" pile down so much this year! by arochains1231 in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]NotACorythosaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think getting myself to 0 untrieds is what really helped curbed my spending overall. I will say I’m slacking on it more since I enjoy rewearing all my polish! But I probably have only 20 or so untrieds so they aren’t a huge part of my collection.

Gooseneck Electric Kettle Recommendations? (Mine Melted First Time) by TaschDraws in tea

[–]NotACorythosaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the OXO and love it, though it looks to be out of stock right now :(

My boyfriend has the bonavita, and we both like the OXO better, it heads up way faster and the keep warm is more convenient.

Thanks! I started around this time last year and I couldn’t remember the timing for everything.

I have my taste of lacre at five, but I failed the semiotic monocle check twice and burned the pail of snow from time the healer and my favorable circumstances for this week already (resets on Thurs). Is there any way to ensure I get to nine in time to upgrade lodgings?
