Hey all you tea drinkers out there! My Blogger friend Melissa turned me on to this company. It is called Adagio Teas and it is a very nice company! I bought the starter kit with the little teapot infuser, and a selection of green teas and i absolutely LOVE it!
You simply add about 1/2 teaspoon of their super fresh, delicious loose tea to the little pot along with some fresh boiling water and let it steep for about 2-3 minutes(or longer for a stronger tea) and then when your tea is steeped enough, set the pot on top of your tea cup and all the fresh delicious tea drains into your cup and the leaves and sediment from the loose tea stays trapped inside the pot! I'm ordering a few of these for my tea drinking friends as gifts. And while i am at it, i'll order some more of their lovely teas for me too! I want to try their Chai....
And this is my new Rival Ice Cream Machine! It makes a quart of fresh, home made ice cream whenever you want it! You simply store the canister in the back of your freezer to keep it frozen and ready for use, then mix up a super easy ice cream recipe(a few recipes are included in the enclosed booklet) snap on the top, turn on the motor and watch the ice cream mixture thicken...
Here we are making my favorite...coffee ice cream.....
The motor works a paddle and whips the ice cream into a heavenly sweet concoction
AND you get to lick the paddle! 
After about 40 minutes you just scoop out the finished ice cream and store it in your freezer. So far i have made old fashioned vanilla(a cooked base with an egg in the mix) the a quick and easy vanilla and the coffee. DELICIOUS! What are YOUR new favorite things???
