Awash in florals & feelings

Despite the muted, overcast sky we've had for the past three days, we are awash in florals and good feelings indoors.


Joseph gifted me with a very large candle labeled "Happiness" (was he trying to pass a hint? I may have been grumpy lately, but that's because I am awoken 5+ times a night by my 18 month old child. Oh well, I'll take all the help I can get in that department). It is a Jasmine scented candle, which, I believe, is among Joseph's favorite scents. I think it reminds him of his childhood. Or was it his stay in Santorini? My brain is fuzzy. Heck, I can't remember what I ate yesterday for lunch. Digressions...


Today called for a special drink. It's called the London Fog (aka Earl Grey Latte). My first go-around with Earl Grey tea, I was not fond of it. Maybe that brand had too much bergamot. So, I stayed away from it. Then, when my sister visited a long while back, we went to my favorite eatery and she ordered an Earl Grey latte. Hesitantly, I tried it. I was smitten. Creamy, fragrant, satisfying. Since I'm trying to reduce my coffee consumption, I thought I'd try to give it a go and make it at home. You'll need a big mug, but thankfully, my husband is proficient in making a hefty vessel that can accommodate a serving and a half of your favorite beverage.

LONDON FOG (aka Earl Grey Latte)

1 cup (8 oz.) hot water

1 earl grey tea bag (or 2 if you like it stronger)

1/2 tsp. lavender (YES! It's edible!)

1/2 cup (4 oz.) steamed milk (any kind is yummy, and microwave is fine, just don't boil it)

1 Tbsp. sugar (any kind - can use less, it's up to you)

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

TO MAKE:

*Boil water and add tea bag and lavender. Steep for 3 minutes or according to the tea bag directions.

*Filter out lavender. I used my tea man so I didn't have to worry about this. Plus, he's dang cute. If you have a tea ball, you can use that. Or, just filter through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.

*Add remaining ingredients, stir, and savor the warm, creamy goodness.

Ce qui me manquait souvent dans mes recherches sur le référencement, c’était une vision d’ensemble plutôt qu’une accumulation d’astuces isolées. En parcourant https://rhillane.com/agence-seo-maroc-referencement-naturel/, j’ai eu l’impression de retrouver une logique plus structurée, proche de ce que j’observais sur des projets qui durent dans le temps. Certaines explications m’ont permis de mettre des mots sur des intuitions que j’avais sans vraiment les formaliser. Au final, ça m’a surtout aidé à mieux cadrer mes priorités plutôt qu’à tout vouloir faire en même temps.
