Yes, this is called "To kill two birds with one stone" --I don't really like that much this idiom... I don't wanna kill any bird! :((
One of these little things that I can do everyday and makes me feel good/happy is to enjoy a good cup of coffee, tea or chocolate. I usually drink coffee early in the morning but, since I'm always late: I'm sorry Luci! I dont have time to take a pic of my coffee routine! :D
What I can really enjoy better is my tea time.
This is one of my fav mugs but, as you can see, there is nothing really special anyway. I just like that kind of size and shape. Yes, I like big mugs and "I can not lie"!* :D *musical joke
Sooo... lazy me! I use tea bags! (green tea) Yes, and that's not all: My kettle is electric, so I just have to pour watter and push a button! :D **Thanks technologyyyyyy** **applauses**
Okay I've to confess that I bought my electric kettle after burning a couple of teapots :S
The thing is that I used to put the water to boil in the teapot and leave to do other tasks; usually work stuff... And it happens that, when I'm working, I lose track of time very easily so... that's how I ruined some teapots and I ended up buying an electric kettle that stops automatically when the water is boiling :P
My 2nd and 3rd picture is how I drink tea when I feel in mood to prepare tea in a more "cute" way :P
And that's my small cute teapot! ^_^
This kettle was a gift from a friend and it's a Japanese cast iron kettle (called 'Tetsubin' in Japanese) Okay, don't ask me how is the Japanese Tea Ceremony 'cause I've no clue! But I like this kind of teapots because it keeps the water very hot for long.
I usually drink green tea without sugar, but the tea in this picture is one with lemongrass and ginger (a lil bit spicy). I like many other kind of tea (white, black, red...) but I don't like the fruity ones.
I don't add sugar to tea but I like to eat something sweet while drinking (sorry, I couldn't wait to bite that doughnut!)
Okay so, erm... that's all!
Thanks Luci for the cool challenge and for keeping us active in EC :)
And thank you all for reading!
Have a nice weekend.

Oh, beautiful flower! Take care of it. I have two little cactus in my work and they are almost dead. I don't know what I do wrong. I guess I am not the proper person to take care of plants, haha.
Elen! How good observer you are! :D
That plant is called Gloxinia; it had very beautiful flowers just a month ago or so. Something like this:
Thanks a lot for your comment and nice words :)
Mary, wow, this yellow color in all your photos brings out something positive!
Mary, for the safety of the teapot, do not use it much, hehe :P Holy technology! :P
You prepared very well all the things to take these photos! Your teapot is very cute indeed! Your cup and mug are lovely also. For the doughnat ahggrr.. I would like to have one now. And I have never tasted tea with lemongrass and ginger, I should do it one day.
Now, can you tell me please what plant is this in the yellow flower pot? It looks like lettuce :D
Adaline! Oh yes please, tell us about it :)
Thanks for your nice words!
Dear Mary, I love this week's quotes.
It's so lovely to see your cup of green tea
My favorite is ginger and honey or ginger and lemon tea.
Your blog motivating me to write about my cup.
Thanks for sharing
well Done!
ELF-Noor, thanks for your sweet words. White tea is a very soft tea that is barely processed. It's my fav kind of tea after the green one :)
Risty, you changed your avatar! Nice :)
Oh yes, ginger and lemon are perfect with honey as well. And I'm glad to know we are so 'messily alike' :)
Looking forward to seeing your "tea time". Thanks for dropping by! :)
Luci, I called you 'clumsy' for breaking your mug and... look at me! burning teapots and almost kitchen! haha... But, what is that about not to use boiling water with green tea??!! Oh my!!! I didn't know about that!!! All my life is wrong!! D: Tell me about it!!
AG, I dunno if it's 'healthy', but it tastes good... and yes, its spicy touch makes it more special. Thanks for dropping by!
Shoba! haha how cute you are! Yes, of course I've a cat-mug... but it's broken (it wasn't me, I swear!) :(
Eva, yes it was a very tasty doughnut but Estanis warned me about to eat many of these processed sweets... and he's right :(
Yes, I wouldn't like to kill flies either, even if they can be very annoying... But that's why I don't kill spiders neither. They make the 'dirty job' ;)
Thanks for dropping by!
Hello F@nk, yes you can join but bring your glass! :)
Aw, it's so nice to see your cute mug and the teapot, dear Mary. I drink ginger tea when I am down with a cold only.
I was kind of expecting to see a picture of a cat on your mug. :)
lemongrass and ginger.. What a healthy recipe.. It's really very spicy... I tried too many times to take it.. but still can't..
I love the yellowish color of your drink.. Nice blog.. Nice photos..
Dear Mary (El Felino), you know I’m almost seeing myself to your picture and description, minus the purchase of cutie electric kettle (as it comes free, whenever, wherever..haha!). I’m also into ginger+lemon+honey tea every night these days (no doubt, this weather is killing me softly).. the yellow mug is so cute and the blue one looks one sip away. haha!
“when I'm working, I lose track of time very easily so”... So relate!!!! Hahaha! Well, sorry…I’m guilty, I don’t boil my water twice, as it will magnet so many toxic…ended throwing it, sorry mother nature, I’m evil sometimes. Haha! I can’t afford my well-being be at stake, I’d recomputed how much the water cost from my medical remedies..haha! (the figures don't balance, haha!)
Anyway, Thanks, Mary…all cool!! I will post mine too…soon.
