I went to try out Dobra Tea yesterday afternoon and it's definitely my kinda place. I ended up ordering rose tea and something called Pita Jerusalem to try out for the first time (because they were vaguely familiar - unlike half of the teas, which I couldn't begin to pronounce, but maybe next time! The pita from my home country is often salty however and it was awesome trying a pita that was considered a dessert). They give you a menu the size of a book - A BOOK - and give you a little bell when you're ready to order. Seriously. I felt so fancy. (Clearly anyone who drinks tea is fancy to me - I dunno. I should get out more, I know, I know.)

Before that, I spent an hour in the comics store (the comics store and the tea store are right next door to each other which is awesome). I got Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre even though I'm not familiar with the Watchmen comics at all (or movie for that matter, or the Alan Moore controversy but now that I know about it, I feel kinda bad for buying it). Like I just brought it because of the very awesome art - seriously just look at that cover. Also acquired Spider-Men #1 and nine back issues of X-Factor. 

And I just realized that it's been like two whole years since I've written anything for 100_women and I feel bad about this. (I tried to rectify it yesterday and thought I'd write something Lydia from Teen Wolf-centric about wings but it ended up being a totally different kind of fic? No mention of any wings - literal or metaphorical - unfortunately. Ah well maybe some other time.)

Ooh, I want to read Spidey 1! Btw, I loved your Lydia story! I was signed out though, so I left guest kudos <3!

The tea place sounds very cool. I've never heard of a pita being a dessert. What was it made out of?

It was a flat bread pita but it was sprinkled with cinnamon and organic sugar, I believe. Very delicious for a light, sugary snack.

(The kind of pita I'm used to - the slavic pita I call it - is not a flat bread kind of pita, but can be round, and is usually stuffed with spinach, cheese or - my favorite - potatoes. Basically pita like this (http://dinaxkaltak.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/pita-slavic-cousine/).)

That sounds really tasty.

The Slavic pit looks really good too.

The ones I am familiar with look like this: http://tradewindscafe.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/Pita.34072040_std.jpg I like them because I can basically make a salad with meat and cheese in it and it is a lot less messy to eat.
