Collection Corner

Ok it's a new year and time for a new series of blog posts. In addition to eating cheese and drinking tea I also have a fairly substantial action figure collection and I finally decided to bite the bullet and share it with the world (or at least the subset of the world that happens to stumble upon this blog).

In past posts I've talked about my love of "genre" fiction which just might be the worst name ever. My pop culture interests tend to reside in the sci-fi/fantasy/super-hero milieu and such is my collection.

I'm just going to randomly post pictures of the various displays around my house. As the seasons or my moods change I rearrange my shelves and will start sharing new pics when that occurs. (I have become one of those nerds whose collection has indeed outstripped his living space but I have an understanding and wonderful spouse)

Without further ado I give you the first installment of "Collection Corner" or "Sharing Shelves" if you like.



This is my cabinet of curious collectibles which lives in the corner of my living room

Apologies for the lighting, I didn't think this post through very well, the rest of the pictures were taken earlier in the day

David's Tea Hot Chocolate Pu'erh

So when sand and pebbles start launching themselves up from the drain in your kitchen sink it's time for a cuppa while you wait for the plumber.

Today's choice: Hot Chocolate Pu'erh from David's Tea.

David's Tea Nutty Granola Crunch Rooibos

Next up from our newest haul of tea Nutty Granola Crunch.  Will this be hippy dippy nonsense or will it make your tastebuds go nuts?

David's Tea Coffee Cake Black Tea

David's Tea is having a sale so Mrs. ISMOTU stocked up on some old favourites and tried a few new teas as well.

First up is the Coffee Cake Black Tea.  Coffee cake can be quite delicious but should it be a tea? Find out below:

David's Tea Carrot Cupcake Rooibos

Part of the new autumn collection David's Tea Carrot Cupcake Rooibos is apparently the hot new flavour, much like the Pistachio Ice Cream tea from the spring collection it is nowhere to be found.  Unless you have a tenacious and brilliant wife like I do and she finds the last tin in the whole store right downtown where you'd think would sell out fastest. Does it live up to the hype? Let's find out.

And Now I'm Back...From Outer Space

And you walk in to find me here with this look upon my face:

Ok, real talk: Master of the Unknown though I am, I was not in outer space but rather in the midst of moving to a new city and blogging took a back seat to "offline life."

But I am back and will start throwing posts up again.

David's Tea Caramel Corn Fruit Infusion

Caramel Corn is a delicious treat but should it be tea? Let's find out! Mrs. ISMOTU picked this up after trying it iced but on this rainy day I thought drinking it hot would be more apropos.
