I wonder...

How many of our sick folks use shopping bags? The sort of shopping bags that we keep, i.e. cloth or non-woven plastics, rather then the disposable plastic or paper bags? Recent studies are saying that if we don't wash and bleach these regularly, they could be a source of illness, harboring many different pathogens.

I think she found out about it when she was doing a small research on the shop (whether it is worth to visit it or not), so maybe the info she came across was up-to-date.

Generally, I don't like ginger, maybe only in very small quantities in ginger bread. I will have to try ginger tea one day

Ehm. You said you know many languages, but you never mentioned your knowledge of Russian swear words

Any teas out there that act like alcohol?

Pu-Erh Toucha.
One Toucha is about 400-500ml. Resteep it straight away and drink again.
I got tipsy on about 70% of the quantity mentioned above

I think everyone in Europe uses the 24hour clock. Well, except the British of course

I am used to say one o'clock in the morning, 6 o'clock in the evening.
If I write, then I use 01.00 or 18.00.
However, British use am/pm, so I am trying to assimilate.
1am, 6pm

Anyway,
a cup of Ahmad's Hampton Breakfast.
Not bad, but not as good as English breakfast from Tea House Emporium. I think I will take the tin home for the weekend and brew it more properly at home to make all conditions equal.

Another cup of Ahmad's Hampton Breakfast

Latinandgreek · 01-25-2011, 05:30 AM

Earl Grey tea.

astra · 01-25-2011, 05:59 AM

White yogurt

Stitchawl · 01-25-2011, 06:05 AM

I'm giving that new keemun a second try. Often I notice I like the second cup better than the first, and that seems to be the case here. Perhaps on the first one I'm looking too hard...

Sounds familiar

A cup of rooibos raspberry&vanilla.
At this rate I am going to finish it over this week.
The either straight rooibos or if my wife doesn't want to drink rooibos baked apple, then I will have to finish it

Iridal · 01-25-2011, 07:19 AM

Cup of Brazilian Baia. I had lunch and then waited half an hour before making a cup of tea

Now I need to find a way to motivate myself to go back to work. Tedious work this week, and I don't think it will improve soon

. I think I'm going to march into my boss's office later today and demand a new research project.

ProfCrash · 01-25-2011, 09:25 AM

I triple steeped a Pu-Erh Tuocho at work and did not get drunl. (sigh) It would have helped too...

Pot one of Rooibo Cream Carmel

happy_terd · 01-25-2011, 09:38 AM

coffee number 2. It is going to be a long day. I have to go talk to my boy's principal today about a stupid handheld video game system he brought to school and got taken away. Seems he stole it back.

He asks me if it is possible to steal your own stuff. *sigh* He is the first of four to get closer to teenagerhood.

ProfCrash · 01-25-2011, 09:40 AM

heheheh

It sounds like you are in for a fun bunch of years.

(hugs)

I'm the second of four children, difference between the youngest and eldest is 5.5 years. If I think back on those years when we were all in our teens and what my parents must have gone through ... Good luck to you

Glass of water, only 1 hour to go before I can go home ...
