Genmaicha in my mug. Dr Pepper with my lunch. The cuteness today was totally overwhelming

Hmmm ...

Technically, I'm drinking my first mug of tea on another late-starting day, but I did have some tea earlier.

I'm drinking some nice Chinese Oolong from the local Asian market. It comes in a canister and is one of their less expensive teas, based on unit pricing. The first two steepings are very good. I usually have a third, but that one's a little weaker. I have found, however, that with a little honey and a night in the refrigerator, it's really very good as an iced tea.

And, these days I take my walks on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I drive my son to a volunteer job at a major animal shelter, which happens to be next to a county park and natural area. Rather than make two round trips I park the car, walk for about two hours, and I'm back just before he's ready to go. And in this summer weather I appreciate a bottle of iced tea.

So, one "water bottle" of iced tea and one pot of hot tea so far today.

Little Man is Five.

Damn

Je Ju Green in my mug. Milk shake at dinner tonight. It might have some alcohol in it.

Difflugia · 06-28-2017, 10:29 AM

Foojoy black tea

CRussel · 06-28-2017, 02:14 PM

Peet's Major Dickason's Blend coffee. Almost gone, but Lion Mountain Keemun is next up.

ProfCrash · 06-28-2017, 04:38 PM

Oprah's Chai today

cromag · 06-28-2017, 06:13 PM

Second tea of the day.

astrangerhere · 06-29-2017, 08:24 AM

Hangover coffee (very hot, very black).

poohbear_nc · 06-29-2017, 09:39 PM

Well .... had an absolute truly day from Hell ... which culminated in being pulled away from a coworker before I could finish telling them exactly what I thought of their piss-poor job performance ....

A VERY large nightcap methinks ... Port Charlotte

CRussel · 06-29-2017, 09:46 PM

I feel your pain. Having had a day of 5 1/2 hours of meetings. But I think I'll go with Talisker 10yr

cromag · 06-29-2017, 10:42 PM

Oof! Been there, been disciplined for it, poohbear_nc

It was a better day up here, and it;s ending with my last tea of the day. I may stop by the Asian market tomorrow and stock up, and I'll definitely stop by a farm market for a jug of buckwheat honey.

Bleeech Pooh

We had a great night at the baseball game

Je Ju Green

CRussel · 06-30-2017, 01:58 PM

Glad to hear you had a good evening, ProfCrash. I admit, by the time I got to mine, all I was up for was watching The National and Jeopardy. Oh, and that Talisker.

Speaking of The National, tonight is the final day for Peter Mansbridge as the host and chief correspondent. He's been reporting for CBC since the 60's, starting out as a casual radio reporter in Churchill, Manitoba,58 degrees North Latitude, population <900, and becoming the chief correspondent and sole anchor of The National for last 29 years. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada, and an institution up here. I'll raise a toast with the very best single malt I have to him tonight.

Meanwhile, in my cup: Peet's Major Dickason's blend.
