It is entirely possible that Moroccan-style mint tea is the best thing in the world. Ever. 1 peppermint tea-bag + 1 green tea bag, teapot, boiling water, brewed for at least 5 minutes (preferably more), drunk from a small glass with sugar to make as sweet as you want.

Seriously. Best. Thing. Ever.

*is refreshed*

Between a list of chores that takes up an A4 page, and J's reading for his viva, it could be a long weekend. Anyone out there? Doing anything interesting? Got any good banana muffin recipes? Mine always seem to burn...

Playing on the laptop trying to discover what's what's on the new operating system. No major new features in terms of new applications and such, but there are some small changes here and there, and I'm pretty sure I just saved about 19GB of HD space by installing the new OS. So yay to more HD space!

Oh, and trying to get the computer to talk back. So far with limited success.

Sadly, I don't really bake, so no bananananana muffin recipe. Also, I don't really like bananana muffins/cakes, sorry.

That sounds like hard work but satisfying! I should really do something about the Linpus on my netbook (which is hideous to work with) but haven't quite worked up the courage yet.

*giggle* I have one 'failsafe' recipe, but have yet to find a satisfying muffin one. I wouldn't have to worry if we could remember to eat the damn things before they go off...

Have given up trying to use voice command. The damn thing seemed to respond ok when I try using an English accent, but not when I'm speaking normally. And seeing as I can possibly speak about 1 command in that accent, it really just won't work. :P

I also just discovered the 'trackpad handwriting' function on this new OS! Actually writing out the Chinese characters with your fingers instead of inputting them using "pinyin" and scrolling and finding the right character for it. This new function is kinda awesome...

While I've seen Linpus on the display units in the shops, I've never really used it before. Personally, I'm rather pleased with the new Mac OS, Snow Leopard. :D

All this talk of baking, you're making me hungry...
