Dear tea- and other drinkers:
I've recently made a cycling and sightseeing tour in Mecklenburg, East Germany, and have posted the traveljournal of it on my blog. If you want to read it, just click on the link in my signature.

BTW: Astra, where did you get that Ahmad English Breakfast tea?

if it makes any sense. Or where you pulling his (in this case mine too) leg?

No no, I came in peace. Just thought it was a funny word. People are feverish when they have a cold?

I wonder that, too.

Our language uses a word meaning "sentiment" to express the illness "cold"

32 Ounces Rooibos Capetown

aceflor · 09-07-2011, 12:28 PM

will drop superman at the airport soon, had my first green smoothie today (thanks beppe). Was OK, but probably too much Romaine in it. First impression fruits + Romaine= weird.

ProfCrash · 09-07-2011, 01:32 PM

32 ounces of Pu erh Toucha. Working on 16 ounces of Bancha and 17 ounces of Tea's Tea Unsweetened Golden Oolong Tea. Not bad.

I love where I am training. They have a food pantry that is insane and we can use it all. I have restocked my cars emergency food pantry (Beef Jerky, different energy bars, water) and am working on the office pantry.

They feed us breakfast and lunch (yesterday was BBQ ribs and today was Kabobs). Life is good.

or just d) bis repetita placent, never has been my thing though....

Without google translator "erare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum" sounds right.
After I meet Her from high impact aerobics class, I am going to translate all 4 options

Cuppa#5 was Green Pu-Erh.

Cuppa #6

A new tea.
Bai Mu Dan Tie Guan Yin 'Iron Goddess of Mercy' Grade C October 2010
Nice tea....green oolong.
So far, I didn't find any difference between this tea and Te Ji Tie Guan Yin 'Iron Goddess of Mercy' Grade B Spring 2009

astra · 09-07-2011, 04:17 PM

Cuppa #7

Bai Mu Dan Tie Guan Yin, resteeped.
The same flavour. I think this tea is better for warm or/& sunny days though.

I think we witness a maturation process

Half a year ago, I would bet that the kittens would come first

beppe · 09-07-2011, 04:29 PM

Smoothiewise, I made a classic. 100 ml of ice cold water, 2 carrots, 3 orange wedges, 1/4 of a peach. 3 ice cubes. Too sweet, for my taste. but little daughter wanted a glass. She actually helped in manufacturing it.

Could be good for breakfast, or for dessert. But my breakfast now is rolled oats MWd in water and a pinch of salt and berries. And coffee, alas.

Next time, I'll just make carrots with lemon juice.

If I keep eating like this, and I think I will, as I feel great, and might even look great by the teasing smiles of the teachers, I should start to think of calcium supplements. Bye bye reblochon, bye bye parmigiano, even mozzarella is gone.

Tomorrow, for supper, I try my hand with raw romanesco, the green fractal cauliflower. I am thinking of eating it raw with a dip/sauce of avocado. Avocado and celery? Avocado and cucumber? Avocado and tomatoes? Think, Beppe.
