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...

Mmm, mint tea. Not a fan of sugary drinks in general, but I like mint tea.

I'm co-writing a character log in which Gibbs and Tony sort out their differences regarding the whole lying about Jeanne/La Grenouille thing, which is fun. Gibbs is already drunk, and Tony's well on his way... Otherwise, we're just recovering from the longest week in the history of ever.

And no banana muffin recipes, sadly. It's been forEVER since I baked - I hate electric cookers - and even longer since I attempted buns of any kind. Burning is generally a sign that the mixture's a bit too wet though - are you adjusting your flour amount to compensate for the moisture in the bananas?

When I'm making it for myself, I put the sugar in my glass rather than the pot, so I can be sure of the sweetness. It's just one of those immensely comforting drinks, somehow.

Heh, that's a little like us, except we're bracing ourselves rather than recovering. Viva on Tuesday *gulp*

Our oven is terrible for chips, but just about perfect for cakes somehow. I've decided not to ask why, just to take advantage of it.

Hmmm...burning is the wrong word. They went sort of solid - the batter was almost honeycomb - and the sugar on top went a bit nasty instead of caramelising. I'm going to trawl mumsnet, which is a strange place but a useful source of tried and tested recipes!
