What Are You Ingesting?

Hot tea and some slabs¹ of cold roast beef.

¹Way too think to call a slice

[ProfessorTomoe 1,308]

Looks like it's going to be more Imodium in a minute or two.

With tea.

Damn.  Sorry about that.  I'm not sure which end of the Bristol Stool Scale I want to be on, but both ends suck.  Get better soonish.

Now that's the proper way to treat the thing that wakes you up in the morning!

I dunno. I don't feel like iPad au vin.

[mlooney 3,417]

Tea and brats.  Again, separate, not some mutant mix.

Tea-flavored sausages might be interesting. Sausage-flavored tea, not so much.

[Don Edwards 548]

Tea and obnoxious children, does not sound like a good repast.

Some time when I don't have any thing else weird going on in my life I will try that.  The first.
So, maybe 2020 or so?

A chicken schnitzel sandwich.

Malt-o-meal brand raisin bran, with a mug of tea.

I seem to have redeveloped my tolerance for the caffeine in tea.  It I don't drink 3 or 4 mugs more or less back to back I can normally go back to sleep.  And I understand that dawn isn't a time I should be thinking about that, but I am.

[ProfessorTomoe 1,308]

A mixture of one K-Cup of Marley Coffee's "Smile Jamaica" blend plus one K-Cup of Fresh Roasted Coffee's Costa Rican Tarrazu single source.

With tea. (... but that's for later ...)

Thank you for qualifying that.  Tea and coffee are two tastes that don't mix.  I have had way too many waitress in dinners auto refill my "coffee" before I could say "tea".

Butter Cookies

They are dry, but not chalky and stale.

The neighbor who, in the past, would leave us a tin of Royal Dansk Butter Cookies has not done so this year.

These American butter cookies are just too edible.  I need to choke on a tin of sawdust or it just isn't Christmas.

If you'll let me know your address, I'll have a tin of Danish sawdust shipped to you.

Right now: Costa Rican Tarrazu coffee (with tea for after).

Thursday night: grilled lamb chops with mustard sauce at Romano's Macaroni Grill in Round Rock, TX. (It was the only restaurant within walking distance of our hotel room.) Surprised to find that they were outstanding. They were $22, but good lord—they were worth it, especially for someone who gets a chance to eat lamb maybe, oh, every other year ... if that often.

The reason for the last bit above is that Mrs. Prof does not like lamb. Case in point: my son and I both practically swooned over how good the lamb chops were. Mrs. Prof took a bite and did not like it at all. I think a good portion of her dislike comes from her not wanting to eat anything cute and fuzzy. So, no lamb for her, and *definitely* no rabbit. (I grew up eating rabbit and won't hesitate to order it if I see it (which rarely happens).

[CritterKeeper 1,102]

If it helps, I'm told most "lamb" eaten in the USA is actually fully grown.  You should see if that's true where you're at.

We had lamb Monday.  We'd originally thought we'd do it for Christmas dinner, but wound up rearranging things.  We experimented on Christmas Eve with a duck, and discovered there wasn't really enough meat on it, once cooked, to feed all of us. A *lot* less meat than a similar-sized chicken or turkey would have.  Still, it was tasty and a fun new thing to try.  :-)

Canada Dry Raspberry Sparkling Seltzer Water

Isn't Sparkling Water the same thing as Seltzer Water in the first place?  Why would the dry Canadians include both adjectives?

[ijuin 572]

I thought that Seltzer water had stuff added in it?

The opposite, according to Wikipedia.  While other carbonated waters may have minerals or such added, seltzer water is usually just water and carbonation.

Tonic water has quinine in it.  Almost enough to be useful vs malaria, which is why Gin and tonics started being the Englishman not in England drink of choice.

The worst tasting booze mixed with the worst tasting carbonated beverage.

I thought that was Croco-Cola.
