The Last Thing You Put In Your Mouth....

Roasted cashews, and cold beer.

Mug of wonderful iced coffee (one half French Roast, one half French vanilla).

Yes, of course. I've been making my own bread for years, usually though not always from recipes by Carol Field's The Italian Baker. I particularly like the Terni recipe, but I've tried at least twenty of them over the years.

I've tapered off with my own baking, and now allow myself to buy reasonably ok whole grain seed bread from the closest market. Ms. Picky sometimes flags in her efforts.

I used to follow Nancy Silverton (of La Brea bakery fame), sort of. A friend actually baked all the stuff in her book (I think the first).


On tacos, I do like them, but I make more burritos. There's a taco thread now - I forget the title.

a cup of tea with 1.5 Tavist tablets

it's high season for allergies here - everything itches

chipsssssss

Hot black tea

Also a cup of black tea. A brew of Paris from Harney and Sons.

Just plain old Lipton, here. I'll have to try some other brands to expand my tea-drinking palate.

Try this, (Liptons is pretty naff actually.) This is an old Morecombe and Wise sketch they're referencing.

we grow our own herbal teas. When I must drink something that contains fermented Assam teas, I love Harney and Sons teas. They make really flavorful teas(probably soaked with chemical essences what with the way foods are processed these days)
Still the Harney Cinnamon and Ornge with black tea needs no sugar and is vry flvorful. I assume that ALL teas are either British or SA Asian brands

Never heard of Harney and Sons. Twinings is the posh brand over here.

I think the best teas are those made for the Russian market.

Twinings is good drinking! Easier to find (grocery store wise) than Harney. I ordered my current stash of tea (shipping free) online.

One of my favorite blends was a Russian Georgian blend from a tea company that went out of business years ago. Trying to find the particulars online, I stumbled onto the fact some company exists online that claims to share the history/pedigree of that store.

Twinings Ultra Spice Chai is very nice. Not as good as the Masala Chai that was blended for Teany but definitely the best grocery-store level chai.

I discovered that WALMART carries Harney teas. (As well as a huge selection of brands Ive never heqrd of)

Thanks anyways. There ain't any Walmarts in NYC.

Starbucks Reserve Blend from the roastery on Capital Hill Seattle with 1/2&1/2.

Pancakes are next, having a late start to my day....I've been very busy with family obligations the last few as we did the grad family reunion for my youngest, who left yesterday for Quartermaster Corps training @ Ft Lee on his way to joining the 101st Airborne as an officer. He has 4 months left on our cell phone plan and then all three of my kids (born 1989-1994) will be totally on their own.

I did a good job of raising adults, I feel really great about that.

cheaper to order it directly from Harney's (just finished some price-checking on the black tea (choco-mint variety))
