Chamomile

This is one of the many Bigelow tea selections provided by our company that I drink. It actually smells very floral and strange but it's still not bad when it's hot. I could not figure out if I like it or hate it but I keep drinking it once every 2-3 weeks. Today is one of those "I forgot how it taste so let me try it again" day. I wanted to let others who come to visit at my house to try and tell me what they think, so I was looking online to see how much it is. It's a bit unbelievable to find out it's $17.75 for 20 bags, considering one of my favorite green tea selections is only $0.99 for 16 bags. So I guess I will just grab a few tea bags from the breakroom and let my house guests try. But it feels a bit crazy to do that... oh, well. (ま、いっかー...)

A thought:
===========
It just came to me that this tea is very similar to the movie Tony Takitani I watched over the weekend. It's a very simple short story that can be told in a few words, yet the movie was shot in a way that it will remain in your head for a long time and you wouldn't mind playing it again sometimes.

Ok, this post has no Japanese word at all, and that's not right. So here it is.

キノコ
きのこ
茸
Recently I came across this word in a recipe and did not know what it is. It turns out to be "Mushrooms". I guess it means generic mushrooms, not necessary shitake.
