Made myself some Earl grey (my first time drinking tea) and watched Generations (my favorite TNG film, and second favorite Trek film) as well as “The Inner Light”.

Edit: also, my Linux User’s Group is having a Halloween rice competition, so I last minute updated mine accordingly.

Earl Grey, hot.

It's a disturbingly delightful beverage. It's what actually made me like hot tea at all. Never liked it, was an iced tea kinda guy. But after making some iced out of Earl Grey and finding it even better than my usual, I got curious.

That bergamot slaps. Picard knew what was up

Indeed, the bermagot does slap.

I'm a recent ex-Mormon, so that's why I've never had it before.

Oh heck! That's a great way to start a tea journey! Better than having had plenty of iced tea and cruddy bag hot tea for years before discovering decent stuff :)

Picard is now with Q.

I love how you've themed it to look like Mac OS 9. That is hilarious.

Lol at "He's with Ben Sisko now". Also congrats on your first Tea. Earl Grey is a bit of an advanced power user sort of tea but it won't kill you you'll get the hang of it.

It took a couple tries to get it right (I didn't let it steep long enough the first time), but I sure like the sensation of what feels like drinking an orange or lemon peel.
