Tea

Tea
I love tea , even when I was a kid , to have a cuppa tea before bed with a little milk and sugar was one of my fave treats , it made me feel like a little lady . Earl Grey is my fave for hot tea , Twinnings is the best IMHO .
I do drink coffee sometimes but I never make it , and I only like it from fresh ground beans ( <---beverage snob) and usually only hazelnut .
When I was in England I was chidded for drinking iced tea . I get hot easy so I drink a lot of iced tea . Earl Grey is black tea with bergamot oil added , it does not make the best iced tea just as I think green tea is nicer iced than hot .
For xmas we got a large collection of Boston Teas ( I had never heard of the company before that) so I have been making a new Iced tea every day or two , some are nice and a couple so far have been awful . I will share the results of my tea experiments with you here as I try them . First I tried the chai , I thought it was going to be like the spiced chai you get at Mediterranean restaurants but it wasn't it was disgusting , I binned it . Then I tried a peach flavored white tea , that was pretty yummy . Yesterday I tried Boston's mango tea , it's a flavored black tea .I think I over steeped it a bit but it would have been better with a lighter tea , it was a bit perfumy , by the third glass I was developing a taste for it . Today's iced tea is pomegranate green tea and is very yummy . Check back to see what tommorrow's tea will be .

fetal lambskin

I could not believe it when I heard about it but it is true I have checked it out . The newest fashion trend is fetal lambskin , that's right , as sick and savage as it sounds . They literally cut the fetus out of the mother to harvest the skin/wool in it's most virgin state . No word from the senate about this heinous trend , I guess it's ok if you use animal fetuses as a fashion accessory/statement but we're all going to hell over stem cell research . Human beings suck eggs , y'know ...aborted chickens. <----sarcasm

btw New Mexico is doing very well , better than some states anyway getting stem cell research pushed through .

P.S. if stem cell research offends you or you are against it that's cool I don't exspect everyone to share my views
