my wife has gone away for 4 days so I’m off work and on full time childcare duty. my crazy 2 year old demanded to watch Jurassic Park this afternoon so I gave him his water bottle and some fruit and went into the backyard and cut down two trees with my chainsaw.

now both kids are in bed so I’ll sweep out the garage and then play far cry 5 while enjoying a nice cup of lady grey tea. just dad things

I would love to be a stay at home dad but fuckily my earning potential is like double my wife’s and my type of work (sales engineer/solutions architect) is super flexbile on hours so this is our best option

Lady Grey tea is a trademarked variation on Earl Grey tea. Like Earl Grey, it is a black tea flavoured with bergamot essential oil.

Lady Grey tea is a modern invention, created by Twinings in the early 1990s to appeal to the Nordic market, which found Earl Grey tea too strong in flavour.[1] The name is trademarked to Twinings.[2] Lady Grey differs from Earl Grey in that it contains additional lemon peel and orange peel. It first went on sale in Norway in 1994 and in Britain in 1996.[1]

bergamot is an almost totally inedible citrus fruit with a lovely, lovely fragrance. hence its use in flavoring tea, tobacco, perfume, etc

this is geriatric-thread-relevant because you have to either be old, or be fishmech, to care

its an underrated fruit but superseded for most food purposes by lemon I assume
