T Stands For It's Been 13 Years, Let's Celebrate

 

I thought it would be fun to celebrate our anniversary outside among my herbs for a change. 

Before we celebrate with a drink, I wanted to show those of you who saw how much my herbs had grown, the fastest growing herb is my dill. I've already harvested it three times and it is still growing like a weed.  A dill weed!  This photo, however, doesn't show its true height.

 

That's better.  The plant on the cart, one of two, is my sad cilantro.  

 

EDIT: Lisca mentioned that my dill had bolted.  Dill doesn't bolt.  Cilantro and basil bolt.  Dill makes seeds which I will plant and have a second harvest before it dies in late autumn at the first frost.  That also ensures the rest of the dill seeds I purchased this year will be available for next year.

 

I knew this would happen because cilantro doesn't like heat.  I got tired of taking the pots inside every time the heat hit 90+ F  (32+ C).  Enough stalling.

 

It's time to party and celebrate.  And of course, I had to use the newish mug I won from The Spice Merchant that holds coffee I got from The Spice Merchant.  I also love the oilcloth place mat.  It wipes quickly with a damp cloth.  It's definitely great for outdoor use.

 

But what would be a party without treats?

 

I've been saving this box of shortbread chocolate chip cookies that came in the basket I won from The Spice Merchant.  I was having trouble getting the box open, so decided to grab the fork to help pry it open.  The fork was so hot from sitting in the sun, I dropped it, but I managed to burn one of my fingers in the process.  That's when I decided it was time to go inside.

 

The cookies were tiny.  They were about 3/4 inch in diameter.  That's also when I looked at the fine print!  Number of cookies per serving: 7.  Number of servings: 4.  There was more container than anything else.  Seems I got 28 tiny cookies that were smaller than those shown on the cover.  And I suspect they were expensive, too.

 

I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time.
