*ducks into the kitchen, returns with a teapot in either hand and three teacups and saucers stacked on her head*

Earl gray for Toho, earl gray for Espy, and yours will be ready soon Mystie! Can I interest anyone in some sweets?

nonono, earl gray is a classic! One of my favorites! Don't dis the classics! :C

Excellent, thank you. :)


I actually haven't had any earl grey in a while. I've got a box full of green tea and variations of it (raspberry green tea, peach green tea, mango green tea) that I've been drinking when I feel like having tea.

I do love green tea. Actually, green tea is my favorite. :D

*sets a teapot at Mystie's table*

caramel apple! Smells sweet. :3

Well let start with something seasonal

Gingerbread cookies
150 cookies
2½ dl brown sugar
3/4 dl golden syrup
3/4 dl water
150g margarine
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ginger
1½ teaspoon baking soda
7-8 dl flour

Mix the brown sugar, golden sirup and the water in a small pot.
Boil the mixture.
Place the margarine in the mixture and let it melt.
Let the mixture cool while stirring it.

Then put in the spices, baking soda and 5-6 dl of the flour.
The rest of the flour is used when shaping the dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap.
Place the dough somewhere cold overnight.

After that let it warm up in room temperature for a short while.
Work the dough until it is easy to work with.
Knead if needed the rest of the flour into the dough.
Roll out the dough until it is very thin.
Then take out shapes in the dough. (for an example: Hearts or Stars)
Place them on baking paper or a greased baking tray.

Bake them in the middle of the oven at 175 degrees Celsius for 8-10 min.
Let them cool on the tray before moving them.

ohhh, I love gingerbread! :D

*wheels out a table laden with various sweets; cookies, little cakes, brownie bites, tarts, scones and jam, and anything you can imagine*

I'm afraid I'm going to be away for a bit, so please, help yourself! Chat amongst each other! I'll be in and out for a while if you need anything.

*Stuffs one self and looks around for possible ninja hiding spaces*
