A couple of us took a break at work today to have a snack at Manndible, Mann Library's cafe.

While there I had a barrista special called Duke of Earl: a steamer of Earl Grey tea infused with honey and vanilla milk. Delicious! Warm and frothy and definitely good for a chilly morning (not that today was). On the other hand, it cost $3.35 so I'm not going to get another soon.

Speaking of tea, if you like herbal ones of the sort produced by Celestial Seasonings, you may want to try their vanilla hazelnut dessert tea. It's a great alternative on a night or chilly day that calls for hot chocolate!


And in other news, the oil tanks are out! The reciprocating saw had no trouble at all with cutting through the pipes that connected the tanks to the outside and held them in place. What a great tool that thing is. We'll now try to sell the tanks on Craigslist, find a scrap metal dealer to buy them, or end up giving them away on Freecycle.



Baby's due date has arrived. Baby has not. Who knows the ways of mysterious storks?
