Saturday Surfing

I hope your week has been awesome!

We have been having temperatures in the 100s and more scheduled for next week.  I think it was 103 today.

You have to love these bog, old houses though.  Seriously, even without the air conditioning the design creates great circulation and it rarely gets above 85 in here.  Very do-able with ceiling fans and lots of ice water.

I can’t believe that I posted a giveaway yesterday and no one commented! What in the world is wrong with you people?

Just kidding. Anyway..this is a reminder about that ….so check out the Kettle and Cup giveaway, it isn’t hard to enter.

Slashfood is one of my favorite blogs…Check out this video for how to make tea syrup to make tea sodas.

If you like to write and LOVE tea, or HATE tea and need to be converted check out the Felicitea contest.  You get free tea just for entering…Hurry it is only until July 31.

O.k..These guys did not get the memo from the kidney stone guys.   According to this study drinking tea may be healthier for you than drinking water…Maybe it isn’t the tea that causes kidney stones at all..maybe it is the BUBBA glass?

Mmm…Black Tea Spring Rolls made with Lapsang Souchong just sound amazing…

Karen has 20 Ways to Save on Coffee on her blog… Great ideas!You have to check out this Passion Fruit Rose Iced Tea at Dolce Dente

La-Tea-Dah has to be on of the most social ladies I know and she is at it again on her blog…she is sponsoring a summer blog hop…nothing formal, just a chance for a quick visit with friends.

In Australia they are beginning to use the fruit of the coffee plant as part of a skin care regime for more youthful looking skin….

And..it was only a matter of time until someone came out with juice based on coffee berries… 

That’s it for me.  I cleaned house today and it just feels so good. I bought a scented candle to celebrate…but Marc is working late tonight and I am wiped out…so I am off to relax and beg one of the kids for a foot rub.

Have a great weekend!
