Prepare to be impressed…I cooked dinner. Not reheated, not assembled, cooked … flounder coated in panko bread crumbs and pan fried. We’re talking dredging in egg and everything. (Those of you who have known me for any length of time are justified in laughing hysterically at my expense.)

Thus, something celebratory seemed appropriate for the after dinner cuppa…this pink green tea is so great to watch, first steep, is it gets all pale rosey. The rerun isn’t quite as exciting; this time, it came out apricot in color, and faintly hay-ey in flavor. More points for style than substance, but still fun.

I am impressed … but I didn’t laugh hysterically, I guess I don’t know you well enough. But, Dinner sounds YUMMY!

LiberTEAS, I am seriously culinarily challenged—the aforementioned is absoutely at the outer edge of my abilities. Coating didn’t stick quite as well as I had hoped, but it was pretty tasty (stirred in lemon pepper & paprika with the bread crumbs).

Not so culinarily challenged here, but breading things is not one of my specialties. I tried pan frying scallops with panko (and seas bread crumbs and parmesan cheese), and it didn’t stick too well either. Panko is the tricky part I think. But practice makes perfect… keep going (you’ll figure it out).

Bio

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
