The tea bag cookie


The tea bag cookie as its name suggests is an adorable confection inspired by the tea bag.
Created by Kim of Party Frosting, the tea bag cookie is made out of a simple, but delicious shortbread recipe, which mimics the small, porous bags often used to brew this beverage. Kim then cleverly dips each cookie in chocolate to give the illusion that each of these ‘bags’ are actually filled with tea leaves. Afterwards, she threads cookies with small tags to finish off the resemblance.

The world’s largest cut emerald will auction


Owners of the world’s largest cut emerald – a 57,500-carat natural wonder – will auction off the gem later this month, and the bidding starts at $1 million.
The gem – called Teodora, or gift of God, in Portuguese – was mined in Brazil and sold to an Indian buyer, but little is known of the stone’s origins.
Teodora weighs 11.5 kilograms. It is actually the fifth largest emerald ever found but the biggest that’s been cut with facets.
The gem was never cut into smaller rocks for jewelry because it is opaque and not translucent. So the value resides in the fact it is so big.
The emerald will be sold at Western Star Auctions in Kelowna, British Columbia, on Jan. 28.
