A famous sandwich-and-coffee shop nearby offered Green Tea Smoothies. Sounded great, right? Nope. Too sweet and not quite tea-like enough for me. But my favorite online tea shop offered this:
Mix 1 tsp (more or less to taste) of Mighty Leaf Matcha Tea powder with 1 cup milk. Mix well. Put in a blender 2 cups of ice, 2-3 rounded tbs. sweetened condensed milk, tea and milk combo, and blend until you like the consistency. Makes enough for one tired, hot person or two to three less exhausted persons.
Mighty Leaf sells the best tea-in-a-bag, too! Check them out!
Now, on to knitting content: This is the beginning of my Zitron shawl:
I eventually decided to use a size 8 needle. The smaller sizes made a lovely, dense pattern that showed off the variations in the yarn well, but the fabric was stiff and not welcoming. A shawl needs to welcome you in! It's all about comfort. But, Triple Mohair comes first.
I finished "The Summer of the Great-Grandmother" yesterday. It was not an easy read, but all of L'Engle's books are rewarding in their own way. Her generation was the first to really have a choice of putting extremely elderly parents in nursing homes or keeping them at home and they had to make up the guidelines as they went along. It also amazes me that she knows so much of her family history. My family is not so fascinated by their past. They are very forward-looking and our whole family credo is that the future will be better than the past. At least, we hope so....
