How fun that this was my result. I read this book about once a year for the last 10 years. I love it and think it has much to offer. Cool!
You're To Kill a Mockingbird!
by Harper Lee Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have
changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've
also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to
persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you,
but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you
whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.

Well, I was hardly able to peek in and read all the fun, but I *did* participate vicariously, so I felt entitled to pinch me some plaques. *g* Here they are:

I also took the cooking quiz and got them all right! *yay*
Traditionally, Masala Chai is a bracing, strongly spiced beverage brewed with
so-called "warm" spices. Most masala chai incorporates one or more of the
following: cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, star anise, peppercorn, and cloves are
some of the most common elements, though masala chai can be made with such varied
ingredients as nutmeg, chocolate, cocoa, vanilla or licorice.
Chai is the Hindi word for “tea.” What most people think of as “chai tea” is
more accurately called “masala chai” or spiced tea. It is a mixture of black tea,
sugar (or other sweeteners), milk, and spices (as named above). Although chai tea is a traditional beverage
with a long history, the modern world seems to have claimed it for its own. Chai
tea's popularity is likely due to its great taste as well
as the soothing effect it has on the stomach. It is a great aid to digestion after
a heavy meal.
And from my trip to Aria's LOVELY shop
I also got a couple of fans. I couldn't choose just ONE!
And this awesome magical sword from Pearls of the Orient's shop:

I won second! How totally unbelievable! *lol*
I entered the contest about 6 times, *g* while everyone else only entered once, but I really had fun writing and sharing my poetry -- and I was lucky enough to get 2nd place! *woohoo* What an honor! Congrats to the other competitors, too. You HAVE to read Fenian's Dragon Slayer piece (which won). It's wonderful!
