There you are! I just sent you a message commenting on how quiet you are this morning. Did you have fun last night?

What planet are you logging in from?

Ooooohhhhh.mmmmmm. (Yes, I promise I'm in the correct thread!). Bavarian Wild Berry black tea. Yummmmmmmmm. Smells great, tastes even better.

That does sound good.

The more I'm experimenting, the more I'm figuring out what I like. As good as the Bavarian Wild Berry is, I seem to prefer the green teas over the black teas. We'll see if that holds up. I almost bought a box of Vanilla Caramel black tea, too, but decided I had enough for the moment; and plus, that flavor sounds like it would almost require adding milk to it. So far, I've sweetened, but I haven't added milk to any of the teas I've tried.

But of course! Chimichangas, taquitos, enchaladas, quacamole and chips, spare ribs, chorizo quesadillias and more, all washed down with a medium sized pitcher of Cuervo frozen Maragritas!

How could this not be fun?


Hot sake (not saki) or cold? (Pronounced sahk-keh rather than sahk-key)
I prefer cold myself, but tradition says warm. Many Japanese microwaves even have a pre-set for warming sake. It's really not a very strong drink. About as alcoholic as a good wine. There is another rice-based drink called souchou, often sold flavored with various fruits, that is much stronger.

However, over all, I prefer Kawasaki. (The bike, not the city near Tokyo.) That really lets the good times roll!

I think the experimenting we get to do with teas or coffees is one of the nicest parts. If it were alcoholic drinks we'd need to spend a heck of a lot more on the hobby, only get to drink it in a limited time span during the day, and overdosing would have much more severe consequences.

But despite all the experiments, or perhaps because of them, Shel prefers the greens, Betty prefers the flavored teas, Astra prefers Assam and scotch, (not necessarily together,) pdurrant likes that Coke Zero, ProfCrash goes for the herbals, desertblues gotta have her coffee, Latinandgreek insists on drinking Earl Grey no matter what we tell her, KK prefers diesel fuel, GraceKrispy her peppermint tea, and I prefer the black teas, especially Keemun. What a diverse group we have here! I think it's wonderful!

I'm making a second extra large cup of peppermint tea.. or maybe I'll go with green tea this time. I'm hoping it helps me feel better. Bed soon- after I eat my chicken noodle soup

Sorry, Grace... are you feeling ill? I'm sure the chicke soup will make you feel better quickly. Grandma said it was better than penicillin!
