Cinnamon Dulce Latte in my cup.

You are, of course, right. Shouldn't try to answer on my phone with tapatalk. I do to many typos!!

Hopefully you have a different experience but I did not feel like I had a real oppertunity to get good Egyptian fare while I was there.

(washing, packing things for tomorrow and making a card with useful Arab expressions...bathroom-toilet will be among the first.)

I think we do have some freedom to go out, although I'll have to ask a male fellow traveller or guide to go with me; at least in Caïro.

In my cup: cold Rooibos vanilla spice

I found another bell for you, Charlie... but they wouldn't let me ring it.

Bring toilet paper. Many of the bathrooms do not have any in them and you only get a few sheets from the attendent.

NINE HOURS LEFT!

Then we test for our First Degree Black Belt! My entire family!

I guess this would not be a good time to put Kahlua in my cup?

And I'll take my travel-toilet; a kind of bag thing.

Large iced coffee from Dunkin' Donuts. Haven't had one in a long time.

Umm... a bag? You know you really are not supposed to carry biological waste with you when traveling right?

Do you have a recipe for that wholemeal bread with the honey and nuts you sometimes talk about?

Well, this is a strange thread: biological waste followed by bread...

And barely a mention of Tea!

Peet's Anniversary Breakfast blend. Just because I still have some left.

ProfCrash · 11-16-2012, 12:53 PM

Pu Erh. THinking about a third steeping. Two sencha steepings earlier.

sooooo tired. Lucas has decided that only silly people sleep.

CRussel · 11-16-2012, 01:39 PM

Ah, the joys of parenting. #1 on the list has to be sleep deprivation. My sympathies, truly. The only consolation I can offer is that this too shall pass. But in the meantime, it may be time to reconsider coffee. As a caffeine ingestion mechanism, it's definitely more efficient than tea. (And also keep in mind that multiple steepings reduces the caffeine substantially, as caffeine is quite water soluble. )

That being said, on my second steeping of Anniversary Breakfast Blend. Peet's has their Holiday Breakfast Blend out, but I haven't got any yet, and don't know what I'm going to think of it. (These limited-time, annual blends vary from year to year, so some are to my taste, others less so.)

I am ADHD so caffiene actually calms me down and too much of it makes me sleepy. This is why I found tea, I needed the caffeine to calm down but not too much to make me tired. (sigh)

We are starting solids at breakfast tomorrow. Hopefully that will help.

Hang on, prof. Things will settle. All babies are special and different.

In my cup: ice cold coffee. Thinking of some Riesling white wine.
