The able2know Tea Room:: Now Open::

I hear a distinct rattling of silver, glass and china - things are certainly warming up. And the strains of music coming from the courtyard!

well, good morning. Ill have my regular virtual cup of Lapsang, and something schlecky.

I googled 'schlecky' (always having to google words I come across on A2K!) It says -

? ?

haha.

FM do you want something long distance?

schleck is a sample of the argot of Pa Dutch . Its always been used , as far as Ive been in earshot, to mean something cloyingly sweet, like Pecan Pies or a particularly schlecky PA Dutch Baked good THe SHOO_FLY PIE.

Good word, fm. Yet another one to add to my ever-growing list of new and interesting expressions picked up from A2K!

So schlecky; like this chocoflan dessert? Can I tempt you - looks rather delicious! With your virtual cup of Lapsang, of course.

thank you but no. My schleck attack was two days ago . Im back home after a short trip and Im back to eating ore normally. I will have a lapsang but maybe just a few biscottis to crunch on.

My tea is steeping nicely. I picked it up at Timmy's on my way in. Tea and a double toasted maple cinnamon French Toast bagel. I don't think it's really a bagel, but it schmecks good.

Timmy's maple glazed -drooooool

Why do other people's orders always sound better than one's own? Mmmm ... fancy some of that double toasted maple cinnamon French toast bagel ... sounds delicious. With a cup of hot English tea for a change.

Have a nice cup of tea and a mystery cookie on the house Vonny.

I'm trying to get revved up for another 5 - 6 hours of dancing today. The theme today is 'dance to live music'. It's going to be brutal.

Could I pleeeeeeeease have a vat of green tea with honey and a blueberry English muffin with cheddar. Pleeeeeeeeeeease.

They know the drill. Cuppa Lapsang and a cannoli

My day's ruined. I was supposed to go to the Geek Pride Parade in upstate NY but since I misunderstood the tickets process to the event, I am without ticket.

Muffins are still in the oven. Sorry.

Tickets to a parade?
It's an interesting new world out there.

Thank you for the tea. I need it desperately. My eyes are still bleary after yesterday's 6 hours of class (+ I got a sequin in my right eye and it is kinda red )

It's more of a day long festival that has the unnecessary word of Parade.

I just found another meetup that's supposed to meet at the St. John the Divine Cathedral at noon. I have to wait for my membership to be approved by the meetup group coordinator (finger's crossed).

Ohhh. Is sequin eye contagious?

Good luck with the alternate meetup.

New York has so many things going on. It's the only city I've ever been in that's as culturally active as Toronto. Love that.

I suspect sequin eye is found in the friends and family of many dancers I've even found sequins in the dogs' fur over the years.

mmmmm

thank you for the muffins

so delish

Looks and sounds delicious, thanks tsarstepan. While I'm waiting, perhaps you could enlighten me as to what a Geek Pride March is? Sounds interesting! Anything like this -

I did in fact go to the Geek Pride Parade yesterday and had a BLAST!

Still don't understand it's ambiguous event title. It wasn't a march or a parade but simply a geeky BBQ and chaotic festival of mingling games. Zombie tag was fun and exhausting.

Lots of food and cidar, beer, etc... (unlimited) was provided for $10. It turns out that when I posted that I couldn't get the ticket online, one of the cocordinators emailed me to just come in and as he arranged the ticket purchase on the fly.

Met a lot of great people and hope to see them at a lot of events. Our trivia team had the great honor of being DEAD LAST! We're no. last! We're no. last!
