Both lovely. The store near me that used to carry them has closed, unfortunately, but I know you can get them online at Chocosphere (which by the way has an incredible selection and is fun just to browse).

I come to it from a different direction -- I'm not a foodie at all, I'm just a collector. When I get interested in something, I tend to go overboard. My green tea collection is massive, although less guilt-inducing than my perfume collection as I do go through the teas pretty quickly, whereas the perfume bottles just sit there gathering dust. And absolutely true about florals & foods, and for that matter, also I think we compartmentalize food ingredients in general. We have a wonderful Mexican ice cream place near us with the most fabulous flavors: avocado, corn, pine nut, etc. If you spend any time at all in there, you're bound to hear Americans exclaiming "corn ice cream!!". Corn = vegetable side dish, therefore it is NOT dessert. And now I'm wishing they made rose ice cream. Very interesting, the foodie/wine angle.

BUT. Baking is one of the things we all really love to do together -- it's FUN with kids, it's hands-on, they learn stuff -- it's math and science, you know? Who doesn't love homemade bread? I don't even consider myself a great cook (just a reasonable one) but I missed the memo that said Baking is Hard. Decorating cookies, making cakes, etc. with a couple of helpers is a total blast, even if you have to share licking the bowl.

Of course, they don't leave themselves multiple hours to devote to their own hobbies, like say, perfume. So I wouldn't worry about it. If/when you have kids, it impacts your free time tremendously, and you sort of find out what you really care about. I found that cooking and gardening didn't matter to me as much as reading and perfume. And cooking for children, who prefer Stouffers mac to almost anything I've seen featured on your blog, turned out to be particularly unrewarding. Ten Ren is in Wintergreen Plaza in Rockville, if that helps. For the osmanthus, you don't want the loose -- you want the osmanthus supreme, which comes in an orange canister for $65 (around 10 oz). It is awesome, if you can bring yourself to spend that much on tea. TF: many Moms I know actually pride themselves on cooking everything from scratch, LOL.
