Someone very wise once told me, “Tess, you have an opinion,” then added , “however, sometimes you need to learn when to keep your mouth shut”. I haven’t learned that last part very well over the years, even though I still hear it upteen years later. If I have an opinion, damn it, you’re going to hear about it whether it’s relevant or not, or invited, or necessary, or makes sense…. Yeah, I haven’t learned the part about tact yet either.

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.

We know there are some things
We do not know.

Okay, so birthday gift…mine…headed off to the above mentioned restaurant for birthday dinner. Being a Monday, the streets downtown were quiet and for the most part, pretty easy to navigate just before our 6:30 PM reservations. In fact we got there just a tad early.
I’d read a bit about the history of the building wondering why the name “hardware” and as chance would have it I do remember hearing that it used to be a W.W. Arcade Hardware store during some obscure conversation about old Edmonton buildings so I was curious to see what had become of this building. Truth to tell, the other reason for the choice was they were open Mondays. more…

Although I’m more of a black tea drinker and prefer the bulk green teas this one was at least a start for now on my quest for other green teas.
I picked up this organic tea the other day and I’ve been slowly making my way through the sachets of tea bags. Its from Namasthe from Whister, BC and unfortunately they don’t have much of a website just yet it doesn’t really matter for now, it’s the tea not the web. more…
