What is in your cup?

[desertblues]

I worked very hard today and have the feeling I deserve something better, but here it is:
Cold Arabica-coffee.

A cup of NBTea's Keemun, double dosage though for double flavour

A little sample of the result of careful Rhineland-Palatinate's efforts, may be? Just to make sure that the transport did not affect it adversely. Line of duty, of course.

Cold water

Chilean Sauvignon Blanc in my glass. Seems to have travelled OK

Soon to bed, so I am going to make a cup of Lapacho.
Good night folks.
See you tomorrow

I visited a winery near Santiago in Chile once and tasted some lovely white and red wine from Concha y Toro; Casillero del Diablo.
The Riesling Hochgewächs from Neumagen has travelled well; a very light white wine.

Good night, Astra, I'll drink some more white wine.

Edit: in bed now myself. Goodnight Europe.

Oh had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I'd weave a magic strand
Of rainbow design
Of rainbow design

In it I'd weave the courage
Of women giving birth
In it I'd weave the innocence
Of the children over all the earth
Children of all the earth


Good morning World! Another Friday to finalize another wonder-filled week. It's still a pink existence I'm living, pink snow falling, pink flowers on all the trees, and even little pink buds popping out on the late blooming species. 'Think Pink' takes on a whole new meaning! I think I even have enough energy to get myself over the the Kyoto mountainsides for some more photos around the temples?

Anyway... first breakfast with a big mug of China Black tea!

You do realize that soon, very soon, you will dispense with the mug altogether and just begin tucking teabags into your cheeks and sucking on them during the day...

Oh oh... do I see a trend starting? OK, all together now...

We're coming we're coming. Our brave little band
On the right side of temperance we now take our stand.
We don't use tobacco because we do think
That the people who do so are likely to drink.

[Chorus]
Haul away, haul away, with rum, by gum,
With rum, by gum, with rum, by gum,
Haul away, haul away, with rum, by gum,
The song of the Salvation Army.

We never eat fruitcake because it has rum,
And one little slice puts a man on the bum.
Oh, can you imagine a sorrier sight,
Than a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight?

[Chorus]

We never eat cookies because they have yeast
And one little bite makes a man like a beast.
Oh, can you imagine a sadder disgrace,
Than a man in the gutter with crumbs in his face?


I wonder if one can get flashbacks from cold medicine? I'd better have another cup of China Black...

non me diga! Don't tell me!
than, that is how I like more popping those little dry balls of Oolong , than drinking the water that I use to infuse them in ...

Yay, it's Friday!! Only a little over 7 hours to go ...

First cup of tea of the day: Turkish Apple.

Oh yeah, this morning I stepped on the scale and found out I achieved my goal of losing 6kg! I'm not going to stop dieting though, I'm on a roll! Aaah, glorious Friday

Congrats on the weight lose!

In my cup: cold Arabica-coffee.

Going to a congress this afternoon and a reception (have to watch my intake of whatever they offer ) Still 4 kg to loose.

In two recent studies, the likelihood of throat cancer was three times greater in subjects who drank copious amounts of Yerba Maté at any temperature. Previously it was thought that heat was the determining factor.

Personally, I find it impossible to drink less than copious amounts of Yerba Maté once I start: All of the alertness of coffee with a better taste and none of the jitteriness or acidity. Very sad about those studies; perhaps they'll be disproved as more and more are conducted.

Would search for the link but am at work currently and need to get back to editing a manual.

(Guys, this theophyline is the stuff in chocolate that makes you feel sooooo gooood. It's a natural drug that the body releases when you are in love, making you feel sooooo gooood, which is why we crave chocolate when we are depressed!)

Congrats on working out the most obvious short version of my user name instead of complaining about the length. Well done.

Yeah, I think we've bonded over the effects of theophylline. Unlike chocolate, YM was wasn't fattening (or carbohydratening, for that matter) and I for Juan am really going to miss it.
