haha yep. I'm taking a bit of hiatus from the media stuff for a bit-- after I did more than one thousand media stories I'm not sure that more will have much additional impact.

This year on my arctic field course I tried making a bunch of different teas using what we had on hand:

1. labrador tea
2. fireweed tea
3. blueberry/bearberry tea
4. Hudson Fog- cheap rip off from the classic London Fog but with earl grey, hot chocolate, cream, hint of labrador tea plant
