Seemed like Leela was an appropriate choice for breaking in this new Doctor Who mug:

And also an appropriate choice for the end of a weekend where I ate WAY too much bad food (Canadian/American Thanksgiving party times) and need something with lots of wholesome goodness too soothe my tummy. Leela’s a blend of oolong, pu erh, and roasted mate, so she seemed like a good choice. And it’s so earthy and warm and smooth, with forward notes of cocoa and chicory, followed by soft hay and a slight creamy nuttiness. Yeah, this is good.

OH MAN, I missed Thanksgiving not doing it last year! And it gave me an excuse to make puff pastry from scratch for an apple tart, and a batch of pumpkin muffins, which are the best part of autumn. Good.

LOL! Love the mug! I made that scarf for my youngest daughter. Tom Baker was my first doctor. :)

Tom Baker is a very special Doctor indeed. I’ve had this mug for like 18 months and only just now started to use it because it’s just so special :p

Tom Baker and Liz Sladen were my first! Cute mug. I have to be careful or I could become a seriously disturbed collector of DW stuff. I am still working through my Adagio DW sampler very slowly because I want it to last but… now I have to speed up a bit or it will get old.

Got to love Leela! She was so unique! There has never been a companion like her (at least not that I can think of).
