In Vegas, next door to the M&M store, is the Coca Cola store. Lots of things to choose from, but three of us settled on sharing a tray of flavors from around the world.
I was surprised how many of them were some sort of tea. Alas, even with three of us, I think we only emptied about 4 of the cups. Many of the flavors were too strong with only a sip. So glad I didn’t go it alone!
Moral of the Story: A little help from your friends goes a long way.
Have you ever had a really good cookie? I mean moist, great flavor, hint of real vanilla extract, very little crumble waste, and only one satisfies.
These here cookies might be super expensive individually, but it only takes one to completely and utterly satisfy. And that’s saying something, because when I find a cookie that meets my intense criteria, I usually can barely restrain myself with only two or three.
Moral of the Story: Quality counts. Some cookies are just better than others. What are you a connoisseur of?
New International Version (NIV)
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
I haven’t paid attention to the garden in a few years, except to enjoy it’s delights. It has remained well tended by my nephews and they deliver goodies to the house now and again. This year I went out to see it and the wonder of its beauty – both with my eyes and taste buds. I ended up taking my camera every few weeks. Finally, I was able to take my camera and baskets to enjoy the harvest. It is a remarkable feast and oh so tasty – especially when shared with friends and family.
May you find tasty things to enjoy. May those tastes open up your eyes to see the wonder around you. May you know the joy of a carrot just washed from the garden or a yellow wax bean eaten while you stand next to the plant.
I am a tea drinker. I enjoy all kinds of teas, especially herbal and oolong.
At work, I desire to drink tea to avoid the pop and coffee options. However, the tea at work tastes lousy! I usually have to use two bags, and even then there’s hardly any flavor. I even use the hot water spigot to make it, and THEN microwave it for another two minutes. Still, the flavor remains flat and blah.
I hathe found the reason! Hard vs. soft.
At work, it is city water which is softened. At home, it is hard water, which has only some basic filters, but not softened for drinking. (For washing dishes and all bathroom water, it is softened – no lime build up here!)
Now I bring bottles of water from home into the office to make my tea and to enjoy straight.
The tea is so very much better! With only one bag, the flavor is divine! It’s just like the hot tea my mom and I enjoy all winter long by the pot. (I mean tea-pot, and not with marijuana pot.)
Morale of the Story: When it’s dreadful at the office, bring in a bit of home to cheer it up.
YOU are the news now...
