A Thai Tea Latte for Two and a Toast

Hello, blog reader. Long time no see on my new blog, and for that, I apologize. I've been on hiatus from the business end of Wuj Productions, focusing on writing songs with my husband and partner in life and music, Fred. Today, I took my first snapshot of the new season on my not-so-great-but-trusty old phone, a picture of these stylish little Irish coffee mugs I just received, that I'd wanted for a while. I posted it above, the cups of life filled with Thai tea latte for two, alongside the biggest, most gorgeous and redolent bloom out of the bouquet of scarlet roses he surprised me with last night. Love is in the air! People around us are getting married left and right, too, and I don't just mean soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs. Tayvis, who, if Showgirl is an indication, I imagine will walk down the aisle to Charlie Daniels.

Since my new blog is supposed to be a fragrance blog of sorts, I'm tying it into the flavorful stars of the set, the delicious, aromatic Thai tea, an authentic product of Thailand. The tea arrived in loose leaf, and since I'm not a serious tea drinker (yet), I used a few spoonfuls to make sachets out of repurposed matcha-sencha tea bags. To do that, after I cold brewed the matcha-sencha tea bags, I untied the loose knot on the strings that tie the top of the tea bags together, opened the bags up and replaced the used green tea with fresh Thai tea, good for one more use through the day. Voila! The scent is sweet and spicy, with star anise, cardamom, clove and vanilla. I don't need sugar when the smell of vanilla is this intoxicatingly sweet, and the taste when you add milk is like vanilla shake lite. It is what I'd call a comfort scent. Maybe I'll add edible rose buds alongside the wine charm next time for the photo op.

Happy days of the fall season leading up to another chilly winter here, in NYC, to you!🍵

Is X/Twitter the Twilight Zone?

I wonder if everyone is seeing the same thing as I am on my X/Twitter page (sans views analytics which I shared with you here)? The reason I ask is, I've whittled down my posts from over 22k to under 7000, and Grok has finally stopped summarizing my bio on my page, saying it can't because I only have 14 posts.

My first question is, if Google AI says Grok can only summarize a bio for accounts with 10,000 followers, how did it write my bio before? (The image above was posted originally on my posts, Conversation with AI on X Part 1 and Part 2 on my other Crystal Rhapsody blog where I have posted several interactions with it/her: Sali O: Pop or Art Pop? (According to Grok), Songwriting with AI Grok on X Part 1, Tokyo, Nashville, New York: Grok, Taylor Swift and Sali O and more.)

The second question is, why does it only see 14 posts when I have 6954? As it was, it only analyzed 73 posts out of 22k.

*Cue Twilight Zone theme*
