The restorative tea thread.

[DesEsseintes]

Inspired by dolf and butters: for all those wishing to recover from last night gently and traditionally. Here be crumpets and muffins, lashings of home-churned butter and honey from our own bees. Here the open inglenook fire flickers against the mellow brick, and mocks the howling wind. Here is soft music, warm blankets and fine, fine tea.

Coffee is also available, of course, for our heathen American friends.

Come one, come all. But please keep your voices low...

settles in quietly, the old, soft leather as welcoming as a gentle hug, a warm lap....

 

[dolf]

I'm just going to take a nap in the corner x

 

[Adre]

Any hair of the dog around?

Do make yourself at home, butters. Crumpet?

Why, there you are!

Any hair of the dog around?

Rather depends what your dog was, sir. I have port, champagne, bourbon, whisky, gin and wine. Plus a few odds and ends.

 

[Erochic]

Oh doesn't that sound just perfect.
I just are some leftover gingerbread... T'would have been perfect with a nice cup of tea by a roaring fire.

 

[butters]

a world of firelight and leather, the smell of books, the crackle of logs... i could stay here forever. well, all winter.

 

[rimmy]

I notice it says it's a Gateway tea. This isn't going to get me hooked is it? I don't want to find myself standing on the street corner selling this fine ass body for a hit of Darjeeling.


Shame on you Des. Just say no to drugs.

You just described my little house, butters. You and H should seriously come over some time - it would be gorgeous.

JtohisPB, you know you are always welcome in spite of your blasphemous tastes.

And Erochic: gingerbread is the ratherest thing, but we at least have Jamaican Ginger cake to quell those cravings.

I take additional pride in that Eyer and his ilk will feel themselves confirmed in their belief that the Playground is taking over the GB just by this thread's existence! A lovely start to the Lit year.

 

[DesEsseintes]

Des is wrong

White is black.

Cold is hot.

No...still don't understand your point.

Rimmy, it's a noble addiction and a harmless one. Join the Light!

 

[rimmy]

Rimmy, just choose coffee. It's okay. Des is wrong - it doesn't mean you're a heathen.

It also doesn't mean that you're not a heathen, though...

Jelly, I put the He in Heathen. *flexes *

 

[Mr Noone]

No bergamot, please.

I actually like tea. My Argie parents taught me when I was young. Just yesterday I bought my favourite tea of the moment. It's a Fennel, Peppermint and Ginger tea mix that soothes the stomach as well as the savage beast.

 

[Adre]

Perhaps a Buck's fizz then I think you call them.

maybe i can take up that offer in the not too distant future, though i doubt H could make it over. thankyou so much for your invitation.

 

[ExiledWelshman]

Cup of lady grey, no sugar, please.

 

[Misshotndeep]

I rather like a good Chi with cream.

 

[dolf]

I woke up. I want cake.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

I'd be drinking a mimosa if there were any champagne left.

 

[dutchrain]

A cup of the lady's for me too please. No milk and no sugar. I need it undiluted.

*puts a pannetone with almonds and sugared fruits on the table*

 

[parodyluvr75]

I woke up. I want cake.

I have chocolate cake, I'll share.

 

[Jennifer]

I'll have some wine, please. Will you put in a tea cup?

Will these do?
