Lavender Earl Grey Tea

Yesterday, a classmate of mine announced it was Hump Day. How pleasant, right? I somehow thought it was Friday... As soon as I got home, I made a cup of soothing, yet revitalizing Earl Grey Tea infused with dried lavender blossoms. As the tea brewed, I cozied up in jammies and fuzzy socks.

Thankfully, tomorrow is Friday, and I'll finally be able to catch up on sleep.

However, I'm participating in my school's 30-Hour Famine (by World Vision) event so it will be a slow and hunger filled day. I guess fasting for 30 hours is compensating for the heaps of food I ate during Pi-Day today.

Every day, I take my meals and snacks so for granted. When do we ever desperately thinking about how we'll attain water to cook our meals, and to hydrate our bodies? My 6th year of the annual fast will still hold to be challenging, and I can already hear my tummy growling. Ah! I'm brainstorming my next meal already.

Although the photo has the recipe, here it is again:
