Advent Day 4, From the Depths of the Grab Bag.
Haha, the gears were turning in her head as I watched my housemate stuff her nose into the tiny open pouch. Her brows furrowed; I could sense confusion.
“Strawberry jello again.”
<me, knowingly> Really?
“It smells like candy.”
“[Brewed aroma] smells like lime.”
<me, knowingly> Really?
“Got a lot of black tea in it. Tastes kind of like jasmine in a way. It doesn’t have a lot of flavor. Kind of a little bit of a citrus thing but that could just be the tannins in the tea. Maybe it’s got a little hibiscus. Not a lot of flavor. Black tea like, drying (as she smacked her tongue and pushed it out). 5/10, neutral.” She didn’t want a second steep.
I smelled the empty packet and it smelled like the peach gummis that are 2 small bags for $1. Very granulated sugary, sweet peach smell.

LOL, I love the knowing “Really?”s! XD
“Is that your final answer…?”
She’s having a lot of fun doing this. She’s bold and visceral in character, just like the way she approaches flavors in cooking and her chosen art of glass making. Not a nuanced kind of lady but very open-minded.
That’s what makes it so much fun to read. And her brutal honesty, hah!
I love it! I would be too hesitant and afraid of guessing entirely wrong! She is fun!
Agreed, I love her honesty. I’d also be too afraid of getting it wrong to do this.
