What is in your cup? - Page 1139

Kevin8or · 11-30-2011, 01:47 AM

I rummaged around the tea cupboard to see what we might have in the way of loose leaf teas. I'm drinking something called Red Roobios. With mango & passion fruit. It's okay. Nothing special. It also appears quite old. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Cheese indeed, from Switzerland. It is sometimes known as Swiss cheese in North America, Australia and New Zealand. It is fairly mild, just right for a morning treat.

Since, strictly speaking it is not a Tea, but a herb? and what you drink is tisane, I think it is not a problem that it is old. As long as it retained its flavour it should do.

A cup of Bond Street English Breakfast. The last one in the office. The caddy goes home tonight. Why waste nice tea? At home it fits well as a breakfast tea.

Honeymoon is still in the talking stages. Hawai'i? Costa Rica? Bahamas?

Colors: I want orange and green, for obvious reasons, but that was shot down quickly. Probably either a dark rich purple and cream OR purple and a light pink or yellow.

For the honeymoon... I HIGHLY suggest a 7 day cruise... we did that and had a wonderful time. Want to do it again some day.....

I agree wholeheartedly! Having several honeymoons is a wonderful idea! It's the divorces in between that are such a bother!

I'll have a glass of rum, thank you.

Stitch: I am thrilled that you think this is going to be easy on you. I assure you, I am a very competent whiner when I want to be.

Honeymoon wise: We spent 7 days in Australia and 7 days in New Zealand. We loved it. We watched tennis, did some hiking, saw the fjords, chuckled at the word fjord and re-read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, went to some museums, and enjoyed good food and other activities. It was a good time.

We also waited until after the wedding. We spent a few days at a nice hotel about two hours from our house the days following the wedding. I think we slept 75% of that time. We were so tired. We went on the honeymoon about two months after the wedding and were far more refreshed and able to enjoy the time together.

I'm drinking Peets coffee Garuda blend, my favorite, while pretending to drink this:

A cup of post lunch cooked Pu-Erh

CRussel · 11-30-2011, 11:51 AM

Morning Peet's coffee (Holiday Blend, still), and a glass of fresh squeezed OJ. Word from my local produce manager -- no more valencias. So he ordered a case of navels (138s), though we both know that this early in their season they will be mostly without flavour and probably not all that sweet. But better than processed.

CRussel · 11-30-2011, 01:41 PM

Four Seasons Oolong (Si Ji Chun), from Peets. This one is way over on the green end of the spectrum. Very nice.

Boring Earl Grey, but good.

Still have half of the Diet Mountain Dew from 7AM left. Been too busy today to even drink
