Yes, men do, and the bar is their watering-place. I always laugh when this commercial of Heineken is on TV

In my cup: cider

A cup of Vietnamese Lotus Chun Mee, the last one from this sample?

Oh, it is so important to not overdose or oversteep green tea.

I love beer and I love this commercial.

I add a half teaspoon of sugar to strong black tea to minimize the bitterness.

phenomshel · 01-15-2011, 02:58 PM

I have to have sugar in my tea, either iced or hot. Doesn't have to be much, in iced, but I find in hot I use more. However, I think I'm going to pick up a package of raw sugar today to use for that, instead of the refined stuff.

Other sweets, not so much. I don't like candy, can't have chocolate, and most pastries don't tempt me much unless they have fruit in them. Even then, though, I don't want them often. I am so glad that someone (I think it's Banquet, but I'm too lazy to go look) has come up with fruit pies in pot pie size. Perfect for one, and no waste.

I love sweets! (My mom is a baker, so no surprise there.) For a long time I didn't put anything in my tea. I now use a teaspoon of honey in herbal teas, and a teaspoon of sugar in black teas.

Love the commercial ! I hate beer, which is pretty odd considering I grew up in a country that is renowned for it's many types of beer. The only kind I like to drink is Lindemans Kriek (cherries, yum

).

Coke Zero ...

Drinking a cup of TG amaretto rooibush for desert. A tad heavy on the amaretto flavoring - not sure I can taste the rooibush component.
Fortunately I have a rooibush samplet winging its way to me. [Or sliding over the ice - depending which UPS hub is handling it.]

Good morning to you! Good morning to you!
We're all in our places
With bright smiling faces!
Good morning to you!

Starting a bright, cold Sunday with a mug of my new Ahmad's English #1 and a plate of home made scones. It's late... just past 9 but we slept in this morning. Only woke up because of a craving for tea and scones, I guess. Not a bad reason to wake up!

A cup of honey lemon rooibos. I'm hoping it'll help my cough and congestion.

Pooh, you're right about UPS and the ice. I'm out of k-cup coffee for my keurig because I ordered from Amazon as usual, then the ice storm hit. I've gotten two notices informing me that weather conditions have interfered with delivery of my order. I may buy some tomorrow somewhere to tide me over, but it's usually much cheaper to order from Amazon with the subscribe-and-save feature.

It's a good thing the tea was so good, cuz I really screwed up the scones. They looked AND tasted rather like triangular hockey pucks.

Starting a second up of tea, this time the Fortnum & Mason Ceylon, and a second batch of scones. Perhaps this time I'll remember to add the baking powder, the cream of tarter, and the salt.

I found one I like!! I made the "cream" sample of the black tea from Adagio, and added milk and sugar. YUM!!! Very sweet and creamy, smells great. Everything I was hoping it would be.

Yippee! Glad to hear that you've found your benchmark.

But now we've got you, hook, line, and sinker! There is no turning back after finding the 'first one' that you really like, and the quest is on for others equally as good.

Of course, the person who believes that enough is enough, truly has enough.
