Congratulations!

I think I'll celebrate with a cup of Peet's Major Dickason's coffee and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.

[Latinandgreek]

Thank you, everyone!

No tea yet -- I'll have a cup when I get to my Mom and Dad's for a family get together.

Just got back from Total Wine - one of my favorite stores (carries LOTS of beers - domestic & international) - as soon as it chills, I'll be sampling some ginger beer!

Fresh coffee in my cup and getting ready to leave for my parent's house. No beer, but I'll be stopping off to purchase some A&W Root Beer for part of my father's Fathers Day gift.

Congratulations!

Chocolate M&Ms do all taste the same. But in the UK, Smarties (a far superior product, IMO) do include some orange oil in the orange ones. Those were always my favourite as a chid.


Coke Zero in my cup.

A product that residents of the US don't understand, since they aren't generally available there. We get them in Canada, and I like them. But having grown up on M&Ms, I still prefer them. (And I know in my head that they all taste the same, but I still prefer the blue ones...)

Diet coke right now. First of the day, and likely the last.

these?

No, smarties a chocolate drops like M&Ms but different. Any British store would sell them.

Four cups of Sencha today. I plan on sampling the Puerh ice tea I made tonight.

I lurve Ginger Beer. Have you heard of/tried alcoholic Ginger Beer? We have a brand here called Crabbies. I'm a sucker for it.

Red wine in my glass at almost 1am. Time for bed.

Yeah, I have had smarties from over seas. Completely different candy. Closer to M&Ms.

Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine
There's somethin' special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
(Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin')

She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
(she danced with me like I hoped she would)
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

Good morning everyone! A mug of Twinings "English Breakfast" tea beside me, and a big bowl of rice with yellow chicken curry, two hard cooked eggs, and a length of Northern Thai sausage, all bought from the street vendor outside the door of my building. My first 'local' breakfast, and it was hard to decide as there were so many choices on offer. Several vats of different curries and concoctions (that I have absolutely NO idea of what they are) to choose from, all bubbling over burners, a half dozen different sausages and fried chicken cooking, different omelets, etc.,etc. My breakfast choices came out to the grand total of 20 baht. About 65 cents American.... I think I can afford to live here. And there were four different vendors selling side-by-side. I only looked at the first one so far!

Just keep in mind what the body does with the sugar is doesn't 'use' for cellular function....

Me too, me too! Congratulations, LatinandGreek! Best wishes to little Alex. And best wishes to you too, with your thesis. That was one of the most trying periods of my academic life!

There is no question about it; blue does taste best. Do you remember when they removed the red M&M's because of the Red Dye #? scare?

Another mug of tea, then sit back and wait for the delivery men to start showing up. I did a LOT of shopping yesterday... filled the kitchen with new appliances, (I actually have counter space for appliances!!!) some storage chests, 10K of kitty litter (why carry it myself when I can include it in the delivery for free, right?) and a host of other toys. This is fun!

Some nice tea which will hopefully make me feel better ..

[cromag]

Tea. Later than usual. We were visiting my folks for Father's Day -- it's a bi-iii-ig family, but I'm the only tea drinker.

As far as M&Ms go, they all taste the same to me. But that doesn't stop my OCD from compelling me to sort them all by color, and eat each color separately. It just has to be done.

[Latinandgreek]

I had no idea that smarties were hard to find in the U.S! They were my favourites as a kid.
