KimKatt, you’re a gal after my own heart. For a farthing, you can have it too !!! I’ll be on a shoot and the caterer will say, " that one’s hot water for you tea drinkers". They use roughly the same tone of voice as that used when saying, " this corridor is for the pedophiles and book burners". So, I slump over with my cup- MY cup, the travel mug mentioned previously for those of you able to read my English ( Love ya **Astroboy{/b] ). I fill the cup with the “hot water”, and then perform my little private tea ceremony.
THE FREAKING PLASTIC HUGE THERMAL JUG WAS USED FOR COFFEE AT SOME POINT. Oh please. So, I get tea with the awful undercurrent of burnt coffee. Save me, someone. Why don’t coffee people GET IT? If we wanted a beverage that tasted like coffee, we’d DRINK COFFEE.
I’m a bit overwhelmed here, and guilty to boot for having messed up Astroboy’s coding. I’ll run this post through the Hangul/English filter and see if it does okay. I failed Algebra in Jr. High, whatever language you are seeing it sure isn’t Math Coding !!! :eek:
Fairychatmom? +++Smooch+++.
Rue yes, it’s the watered down tea. Urine may have many fine curative properties but I can’t force myself to use a medicine dropper to retrieve it once it’s in the toilet bowl.
Naw, i get that stuff too. Must be an oriental thing.
Speaking of Orient, they make a really nice tea out of roasted barley. It’s even better as ice tea. Mugi cha in Japanese. Good stuff. Trust me on this one. It’s not like I’m trying to pawn off any of that butter tea on ya. The barley tea is really good chilled and caffine free if that’s any consolation.
Never say “never” Kimo Sabe. Just the other day I found fresh dates at Bigg’s. No lie. Bigg’s. The Warehouse of Food had fresh dates.
I said “Huh, lookie there. Fresh dates. I sure wish I had me some middle eastern version of coffee.”
But, alas, I didn’t. So I went about my marketing, undated.
think, your tea is sending it’s healthful greeness throughout your disease-wracked self, right? You only have 2 1/2 weeks to get over this wretched illness.
(Snickers, you’re hot. Even in this thread. Yeah baby.)
-Rue.
I don’t drink decaf!! I merely suggested it to Astroboy! Nope, if I can’t get the fully caffeinated jolt, I’ll opt for plain water. The tea in my desk drawer and in my pantry is the real thing!
I’m not really that hot, but Rue has a mad crush on me and I don’t want to burst his bubble…
Wherever you do get the Chai just make sure that Caiata doesn’t make it for you!
As for Middle Eastern coffee in Cincinnati, I can attest that you most certainly can get it. Or you used to be able to anyway. Jerusalem Cafe (in Clifton) served it up nice and hot in those cute pointy brass pots and thimble sized cups. Jerusalem Cafe is, alas, no more but you may be able to get it at Floyd’s (also in Clifton). If Floyd’s doesn’t have it then I beleive you can get it at Andy’s Deli in Mt. Adams. And if that don’t work I have a recipe for it. And if that don’t work mama’s gonna buy you a something something.
Profuse sweating brought on by homeopathic means. Why would someone need to ask me this?
As far as tea goes, I have many, many flavors in my collection - earl gray, cinnamon stick, Lipton, several assams (including Irish breakfasts), English breakfasts, and so on. All black, and I drink them all very British - way too much sugar, whole milk, thankyouverymuch. I drink two cups in the morning (and my non-morningness is infamously known as me being “pre-tea”), and at least one cup in the evening.
Worry not, Rue, I shall be in tip-top fighting trim in short order. Well, I’ll at least be less congested, the rest is relative.
Boy, I just can hardly wait: visiting family and eating turkey this week, xxxxxxxxx xxxxx next weekend and finally, the travelling Yahoos on Parade. Maybe I’ll even get some snow in there somewhere, too! Before you know it, it’ll be present season (regardless of religion, unless you’re JW) and the New Year will be upon us! Rue &** Shibb**, your visit is like a little pre-seaon festivity, I will make sure I am well and in good working order or some close facsimile.
PG Tips is indeed the tea of the gods. They drink nectar most of the time, but when they fancy a cuppa, it’s PG Tips they turn to. Hot, brown and strong enough to trot a mouse on.
There are “fresh” dates and then there are fresh dates. The ones at Jungle Jim’s are the former.
I meant, you’ll never find Middle Eastern coffee in Cincinnati, not you’ll never find a “fresh” date. In fact, I have spoken with several younger Cincinnatian in the past few months, and at least one has remarked upon how fresh her date was. But that’s another story.
I’d love to stay and chat but apparently we’re going to the beach now. Bye bye until later.
PS. That easily takes care of the bad pun, but I don’t know if it counts as a sex joke, let me know.
While you’re there don’t forget to check out the hot sauce aisle. It’s worth the trip for that alone. There are literally hundreds of choices. Where else can you find “Cosmic Ass of Fire” right next to “Flaming Liquid Death”? Dave’s Insanity Sauce? Bah! Mere childs play next to this stuff.

Rue didn’t want all your inputs about tea. I suggest you reread the OP, because then it becomes perfectly clear what our beloved Rue really wants.
I provide this link to help you with your real problem Rue (that is once you admit you have a problem, which is the first step, but really isn’t the FIRST step, I think the first step is knowing the proper definition of problem or actually giving a hoot about anything, but thats just me). http://www.uni-hohenheim.de/i3ve/00217110/02230041.htm
You can thank me later.
