One thing I read: “Tea!” by Ann Leckie (as pertains to the Imperial Radch/Ancillary Justice series)

If you’ve read Ancillary Justice, you know that tea is very important to the Radchaai. As it happens, tea is also important to the events of Ancillary Sword, and not just because it takes place firmly inside Radch space. It so happens that Athoek System has a planet where tea is grown, so tea is extra important there.

One thing I made (my recipes): pear scones (coming soon)

One favorite recipe I made: “Ultimate Veggie Burger,” 101 Cookbooks (I made six big patties instead of 12 little ones)

One thing I drank: white coffee at A Muddy Cup. Under-roasted beans make for a delicate but complex, almost tea-like cup.
