It's... Alive....

Last night, my Significant Other
evildoom_bunny, she of the Nick Cave themed birthday blog entry, bought me some Chai.
Those of you who have spent more than a couple of minutes in a cafe with me will know that I'm rather fond of the ol' chai.
This was no ordinary chai. It was freshly prepared by... Shite, can't remember, some place serious about their tea.
evildoom_bunny, help me out here, I'm having another brain fade!
Anyway, this stuff wasn't like normal tea, it was moist. I think it contained honey, and looked like... well, almost like a rather exotic potting mix. I said "Are you sure it's legal to own this?"
Haven't tried it yet, it's sitting in my freezer doing... Whatever it does. My freezer now contains three kinds of chai, three kinds of coffee and some peppermint tea leaves.
Reminds me of the time a friend of mine turned up with four kilos of red curry paste in a zip lock bag as a present for me. He worked in a laboratory testing food, the always ended up with more of it than they needed. Hence, the curry paste...

Date: 2006-10-13 10:48 am (UTC)i've been keeping tabs on my consumption also
let me think....
oooh i've had 1!!! ha ha
twas rather sugary and an enjoyable experience however as i have no basis for comparison perhaps the one that i consumed is a disgraceful form of chai as it was purchased on a whim on my last family related overseas trip and my stepmother and i thought it would be interesting to see what the fuss was all about.
The bad thing is that it was purchased at an evil coffee chain of which name i won't go into since they're so damn evil (you know who i'm talking about)
