Years ago, when I was pregnant with the NerdBug I went to a tea service at the Fairmont in San Jose. That was the first time I had Jasmine tea and it was divine. Later that year a friend of mine gave me a couple boxes of Jasmine Tea she had received as a freebie with all her Chinese Takeout. Well since then when I am really stressed or sick I will have a nice hot cup of Jasmine tea. Well, since I am once again going completely caffine free (thanks to Baby #4) I have been making a variety of ice teas. For the first time I made Jasmine Ice Tea and it is wonderful. Now, how I make ice tea is to add a “family” decaf tea bag and 4 herbal teas. Ok, maybe flavored is the better term because I can’t have any of those off herbs. It is great. The tea has a mild sweet taste with mild minty under tones. Now I just have to find a new source. I am almost out of my freebies but I can’t really track it. Most of the writing is in Chinese. So I am on the search for affordable, yummy Jasmine Tea and I am open to suggestions.

Ok, I admit it. Being a food geek I watched all of the Top Chef series. I have finally watched my Tivo’ed finale and I am thrilled that Harold won. He seemed serious about food but not pretentious. I have to say that there is something attractive about a laid back, straight man who cooks (let us be honest, that is one of the many ways that NerdDad won me;). So when I watched the reunion show it didn’t suprise me in the least that he was so popular with the women. I bet that Harold does well in his future resturant!

I just received an email from a friend. They got a flyer that you can get a free donut on June 2 here in Fresno. Because they are franchised owned I would check with any other location first!
