Hey ! Don't give up !

Drinking Rooibos baked apple. I only had a glass of milk this morning before going shopping, now I'm THIRSTY !

I used to like a spoonful of sugar (or two) in tea and coffee, once upon a time. Then I went on detachment for a few weeks during a time when there was a shortage of sugar, and the local office tea-swindle felt it was too expensive an item so each individual was to become responsible for their own.

Me, being a skinflint

quickly learnt not to have sugar

Now I'm onto black coffee#2 (no sugar, nor milk.....)

(how many times have you been in a cafe/restaurant and asked for a black coffee and they've given a small pot of milk with it ! ?)

From all the 14+ different flavoured rooibos, it is the only one I can drink and enjoy it

does the baked apple count as one of the 'five-a-day?'

I plead guilty.

A few days ago I said that I will get three sample collections from NBTea: Pu-Erh, White and Oolong after I finish 20+ samples of green teas.
Erm...I have ordered Pu-Erh sample collection within 2 hours after I said it.
My excuse was that green/white/oolong are rivals but Pu-Erh is a tea of its own, so ...

I will try to sell this idea to my better 2/3s.
We will see whether it works

I hope so, because I never ever ever ever eat fruit ...

Cup of masala chai (also very yummy) and then of the grocery store.

astra · 01-15-2011, 06:31 AM

A cup of Keemun!

GeoffC · 01-15-2011, 07:07 AM

Green Tea with lunch .... (vegan cheese and date sandwich)

We share one thing, just not exactly similar -- when I was small I a small bowl full of sugar each and every day while reading comics in the afternoon

I think I must have been crazy somehow. (luckily enough, I have no tooth decay

)

Now I'm not obsessed with sugar anymore. Instead of sugar, I'm fond of milk and chocolate (dark or white is good, but I hate brown chocolate not knowing why)

So stressful I am. tomorrow is Sunday and they make us take the final exam at 8 am!! I like General theory on Law & State, I really do, but when it comes to the exam my mind goes blank

Lipton again..

good luck with the exam ....
