Hojicha Kyoto

This is the description from dobra tea:  “A delicate tea of roasted leaves and stalks, which give a taste and aroma unlike that of any other Japanese teas. The name means “lightly roasted tea.” The infusion is brownish, the aroma reminiscent of freshly baked bread, roasted grains or chestnuts. It is recommended as a particularly good drink after a substantial meal. It gives a rich, warming brew even after several infusions.” from dobrateanc.com

I really like Hojicha.  It is considered a way to make the stems (what would be trash) taste good enough to be marketable.  I think it stands on its own though.

“Exploding Squash”

I saw this exploding squash on my paint mixing board, so, I outlined him.

phone pics of moss

I try to get my Photo students to take a series of 10 pictures each week on a specific and narrow theme.
This helps make you more mindful and aware as an artist and human.
As I am leaving my role of “Art Teacher” I am trying to follow my own advice.  So–this week is Moss!

I still need 2 more moss covered things to complete 🙂
