November Sipdown Challenge Prompt – Cookie Monster’s Birthday
Last month when I did the Muppet prompts, my daughter informed me that it was nearly Cookie Monster’s birthday. Now I realize that she knew that because she has been digging up all sorts of holidays similar to our sipdown prompts to give me theme teas for the past month or so. I assumed it would end October 31st, the end of breast cancer awareness month, but it hasn’t! I had a new tea both yesterday and today.
In addition to the new tea, she also made a double batch of Tollhouse cookies and peanut butter cookie dough, although the PB cookies are reserved for baking tomorrow.
One of the teas she gave me a couple of weeks ago was Almond Black tea and I wondered if this would be very different, and it definitely is. The other is distinctly almond and the almond is pretty strong. This one has a little less almond and the addition of vanilla and a definite baked pastry/cookie flavor. I am having a hard time deciding which I prefer, or maybe there is a place for each on the shelf since they are so different. I think the Almond Black is a better foil for Pleine Lune, which I finished just as I was starting the Almond Black.
