Am I the only person who never buys 2 liters of soda?

ps: I did, however, purchase three bottles of Jarritos this week -- Lime, Tamarind (my fave!) and Mexican Cola.

I bet you only eat Fabergé eggs too . .

[Miss Philicia]

I really don't eat eggs very often. But I have gotten in the habit of buying 1/2 dozen every so often from a place that gets them fresh from a farm in Lancaster County, so I suppose they are AMISH EGGS.

Oh, and Jarritos doesn't contain high fructose cory syrup.

They are not Amish eggs anymore after you use use electricity to cool them in the fridge or cook them ya know . Those poor old free range chickens probably are sweaty mess without a fan in hen house .

I never buy any soda.  I went through a phase a few years back when I would drink Diet Coke like an addict (I have always detested the sweetness of "the real thing"), but for a good while I've stuck with good ol' Evian or iced tea (or beer).

I used to only drink unsweetened tea or water but have a new fondness for diet coke . I try to limit myself to two a day though but find myself craving them late at night so I'm thinking about ditching them . Diet drinks may be as bad for you as the real thing from what I'm reading .

What? No daily coffee? You're such a bad Little Brown One.

[Rev. Moon]

Heh, I do like coffee, but drink it only every now and then.  I guess I'm a tea queen --nothing like a lovely cup of rooibos for breakfast. 

[Rev. Moon]

That's what they say now.  I however doubt that drinking an empty 220-240 calories several times a day, versus having none (plus a few deadly chemicals, of course) is "as bad" as drinking diet stuff.  It's all a conspiracy from the big cola industry

Herbal tea with anti-oxidants? pft... try white mudan for iced tea

[denb45]

I gave up soda well over 15 to 20 yrs. ago due to kidney stones 

[Rev. Moon]

Herbal tea with anti-oxidants? pft... try white mudan for iced tea

Oh no, I don't care as much for the anti-oxidant schtuff.  I just love its taste, especially with some rusks.

White mudan is very good. Have you tried silver needle tea (Bai Hao Yinzhen)?

[WillyWump]

DUR!!!

We have a statistics center>? That is soooo cool !

I used to only drink unsweetened tea or water  .

I prefer unsweetened tea, Love it! I also brew it "granny style" on the stove and pour it straight over my ice.

[Ann]

We've been hiding it from you for the past four years under a nutritious, low-cal salad. If we hid it under a superdeluxextravagandacheeseburgerplus, you would have found it in four seconds!

[Jeff G]

I have always loved tea unsweetened and hot sometimes too . My family being southern are hooked on sweet tea so sweet it gives me a sore throat trying to drink it . When I was a kid is was a punishable act to drink the last glass of tea without making another gallon to replace it with . My friends in chicago thought it strange I always had a gallon of tea in the fridge and even stranger it wasn't raspberry or mango flavored , which I detest .     

[Miss Philicia]

I never sweeten my tea. And I drink it hot more than cold except at the height of summer, though I usually keep a batch of cold in the fridge.

Wanna see my fancy Arne Jacobsen stainless steel tea set?

[Ann]

Wanna see my fancy Arne Jacobsen stainless steel tea set?

You know we do!

[WillyWump]

Wanna see my fancy Arne Jacobsen stainless steel tea set?

hmm, somewhat impressive. However any real tea drinker (southerner) knows that you can't have tea in Steel  If it's not in glass, it's no good.

[Miss Philicia]

The historical significance, assuming you know who Arne Jacobsen is, is that this was designed for the SAS House (hotel) in Copenhagen in the late 1950's. He designed not only the actual hotel, exterior and interior, but also custom designed all of the furnishings from his famous Swan and Egg chairs all the way down to the cutlery.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radisson_Blu_Royal_Hotel,_Copenhagen

If visiting Copenhagen today the hotel has maintained Room 606 in it's only complete original form.

ps: I scored my coffee and tea set in used form at a flea market in Chelsea 20 years ago, with the exception of the matching tray which had to be bought new. Tis one of my very most prized possessions.

shut up trailer park boy -- you don't brew tea in that you only use it for serving

... and let me know when you graduate to brewing your coffee in a Chemex pot

Very Upper West Side Manhattan, New York City chic'    nice tea-set miss P 

[Ann]

I like the handles, as well as the over-all style. Nice score!

Gotta ask, what's that white thing behind the set, the thingy that's on a stainless steel base?

Oh, and I'm jealous. That looks like a proper marble worktop. I'm getting new worktops in my kitchen, but marble they ain't. (They will be black "marble-effect" though, but they won't be anywhere near as shiny as yours.)

I think you're looking at my paper towel holder. And please, that's fake marble I live in a rental though they just put that counter top and new cabinets in early December. It's why they jacked up my rent.

It don't matter where you live, or rather you rent or not, as long as you aint no drugged out homeless crazy person, your alright with me

Fake marble, maybe, but it's the good stuff, not the matt finish "marble-effect" stuff I'm getting.

Oh, and my rent will be going up quite a bit this April. It always goes up a couple quid each April, but this year it's going to be a substantial amount, closer to ten quid a week than the usual three or four.

My mother's kitchen is getting a total make-over, including some lovely marble top that I picked.  The cabinets were done two weeks ago; then they're doing the counter-tops this week (and the floor a month after).  It will look lovely once it's completed, but for now it is an utter nightmarish mess.

The kitchen at my own place is 100% pedestrian with white formica counters.  So not very.  My landlord is a cheap mofo who only goes for clearance items.

Does your mom have a spare room?

[Miss Philicia]

I would like it noted that dinner consisted of a negroni with salumi/antipasti, followed by ribbon pasta w/rabbit ragu and a glass of primitivo. Twas my much-delayed birthday dinner 

[spacebarsux]

Miss P, I had Mexican food last night.  At this mexican chain called Chili's. It's among the better options here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili's.

I really enjoyed it.

They go flat too quickly, if you don't finish them within a day or two it's just sugar water with no fizz.

You poor thing -- that's the kind of place suburban losers go to in the US. That's a fajita and quesadilla place, or rather a small part of their menu. IIRC fajita's aren't even served in Mexico proper -- it's an American bastard child item.

I had a NY Strip with Bake potato and spinach.(btw, no sour cream on pot, only Smart Balance spread)

I am getting ready to go get Lab results which will include my presumably stellar lipid results, I have dutifully had my Oatmeal and Banana with 2 cups of columbian this morning and am ready to get my grape sucker that doc awards for great labs.

Hopwever....in celebration of my amazing lipids (which I am sure I will have) I will be going to Burger Boy after the appt for a "BAtes Special"  http://www.sanantonioburger.com/2009/01/burger-boy.html

So suck it.

They have great Burgers (Oldtimer and add jalapenos).

[Miss Philicia]

Was a strip steak the wisest move less than 24 hours before a crucial lipid panel reading? Allergic to fish, I take it?

And I should have known you like Chili's. I think I've been in one once in my entire life.

That (along with TGI Friday's) is the epitome of middle-class pedestrianism.  When it comes to Mexican food Chili's is as authentic as Taco Hell, just a tad more expensive (and with nicer tables, I suppose).

[denb45]

oh WillyWump your so lower to upper middle-class like me, and I heart you for this, what a man, hey stud, let's find some bad food in D,C. and a nice leather gay bar, and drink some beer & play some pool, winner takes all 

[Rev. Moon]

oh WillyWump your so lower to upper middle-class like me

Wilhelmina's taste is more lowbrow hoi polloi.  Kinda cute for some, I guess 

[denb45]

nothing wrong with any of this, I like men, love to be around them str8 or gay, I'm one of the boys, I can hang with most, but I'm also one of the queers too, were all different, and to me that is what makes it interesting
don't ch' think?    wouldn't it be boring if we were all the same, that just doesn't sound like much fun to me..

that's why I HEART all of you, love the difference we all have 

[Miss Philicia]

I have absolutely no idea what you're attempting to say.

It aint that deep, so don't fret 

[Rev. Moon]

I read it as "food brings the world together."

I'm off to have lunch at my school's food court before my next seminar. Yay! 

What should I have?  I guess some "authentic" Mexican food from Salsaritas?

Yes both food & sex brings the world together  you had me @ authentic healthy & fresh , sounds good d'yum 

[Miss Philicia]

But you are, evidently, upper middle class -- you've stated so not once but twice this week. Now tell me, is that like double-wide versus single?

[denb45]

Yeah, I grew up upper middle class  in nor-cal, both parents worked, had my own room, my own car sorta (had it share my with my twin sister)   

but, I don't live like that now, not poor, just low income 200% above FPL your smart do the math 

something like that (double-wide versus single?) but not quite......lol  miss p your too funny, that's why I HEART U 

[Miss Philicia]

Yeah, I grew up upper middle class  in nor-cal, both parents worked, had my own room, my own car sorta (had it share my with my twin sister)   

How is that upper middle class as opposed to just in-the-middle of middle class?

[denb45]

How is that upper middle class as opposed to just in-the-middle of middle class?

not sure, I looked up 200% above the FPL and I came up with very few answers, only got more statics then something factual , to me it's all very vague & relative wouldn't you say? you can look @ statics all day long, and still won't find the answer......lol 

[Miss Philicia]

I would say having an educational degree above a mere Bachelors is a hallmark of the upper middle class. IIRC you don't possess one.

Did you also belong to a country club growing up?

Nope, and neither did my parents, mother was a RN and father worked for the USDA, he was a Govt. inspector of meats, so not really upper-middle-class just middle I suppose.....

Well, I'm happy that's settled and you'll halt repeatedly attempting to convince us that you deserve a higher station in life.

[denb45]

You deserve what you earn in life and what you get outta it, some do , but other don't  nobody in this forum has ever tried to do any of this, we all embellish somewhat, most queers do this, I'm one myself, but, it's what it is dear  I don't think anyone here, is trying convince anyone that they deserve a higher station in life...lol don't you think that's kinda shallow 

[denb45]

getting back on topic .....Rev.  your making this big old man hungry , so stop torturing me like this , your so mean
