First tea.

We got my wife's car, an all wheel drive Subaru, out of the ice! She had a class today. Once you get out of our dead end, the roads aren't really too bad. My minivan is still stubbornly stuck on its ice pad. I spent a lot of time trying to get it to budge last night ... unsuccessfully. Maybe when it warms up a bit more ...

Bummer about the broken pipe. We found a leak and had someone come in to fix it. He replaced a bunch of pipes, cleared two others all for $1,600.

Had four cups of Wuyi oolong, working on a cuppa Newmans Own Coffee right now.

Murchie's Russian Caravan Blend. This has a healthy dose of Lapsang Souchong and is a good tea for a wet, cold, and windy day.

Hey Stitchawl... is this accurate?

Peet's Café Domingo.

A new one on me, Quake1028.

For me this morning, a large glass of fresh squeezed orange juice (of course), and a mug of Peet's English Breakfast Blend tea. Aaaahhhh...

Quake1028 · 02-19-2014, 03:49 PM

It's a much more medium bodied blend than MD is. Found out my local grocery store has started to carry the Peet's cups. They are about 4 cents per cup more expensive than Amazon, but they will do in a pinch.

CRussel · 02-19-2014, 05:03 PM

Nice that you can pick them up locally. Here it's a pain -- I either have to pay international shipping, or order them to my US mailbox when I know I'll be going down there. Right now I'm nearly out of Major Dick and trying to figure when I can get down to Redmond to get some more. I'm also nearly out of Lion Mountain Keemun (my favourite reasonably priced Keemun), so as soon as we can plan a trip, one of us is going to have to go.

Meanwhile, drinking my third mug of English Breakfast. Even though it's afternoon now.

Second mug of tea. But I had a foam cup of plain old convenience store coffee earlier today.

I'm sorry. That shouldn't happen to anyone.

cromag · 02-19-2014, 05:09 PM

It's okay. I look at coffee only as a caffeine delivery system.

CRussel · 02-19-2014, 05:14 PM

Ah, but for that I have my Peet's Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans! YUMMM!

Quake1028 · 02-20-2014, 07:41 AM

Gatorade, fruit punch.

Chicken cup-a-soup.
