The Best Purchase I Ever Made So Far

         The best product I ever made was a combination of a glass teapot with mesh infuser and two small glass teacups. I purchased them when I was back in China two years ago, and I decided to bring them to America with me this time.

         There are two reasons why I believe it is the best purchase I ever made. One is that I love drinking tea, especially the tea with dried leaves. The other reason is that the teapot that I bought is a perfect tool for the leafy tea. Because of the infuser inside the teapot, I can put some of the dried tealeaf into the infuser and fill with hot water. That way the dried tealeaf can be rehydrated and starts to turn soft, as well as the smell and flavor starts to release out. After that, the best part of this teapot is I can press a button on top of lid, and the hot tea will be filtered from infuser in order to separate the water and the leaf. Now I can pour my tea into one of my teacups and enjoy.

          However, some people may think it is time consuming. But for me, it is definitely worth the effort base on the outcome. That is why I believe this teapot is the best purchase I made so far.

Writing: You Can Pickle It

Relish, as a noun, comes from Old French relais, reles, "something remaining, that which is left behind," from relaisser "to leave behind" (Online Etymology Dictionary). When put to motion, as a verb, it is both "to give pleasure" and "to take pleasure in"--to release.

Writing as a gesture of relish asks: how much vinegar per parts vim; brine words whole or quartered and drawn; water bath and vacuum seal or fresh off the page; rendered truth or by the book; preserve upon canning or serve upon sleeve?

Virginia Woolf stated: “For pleasure has no relish unless we share it.”
I invite you to share your RELISH here on this page. What will you savor; what will you release?
