Enjoy teas for a change, but haven't found an absolute favourite yet ... Good on you for cutting out desserts and coffee - way to go! I really need some of your awesome willpower! :DAnne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10690824664591296103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14030497.post-1143064684398457652006-03-22T15:58:00.000-06:002006-03-22T15:58:00.000-06:00Hi Lelia, I drink more tea than coffee, but if I a...Hi Lelia, I drink more tea than coffee, but if I am out somewhere and I can smell fresh coffee brewing, I can't resist a latte or cappuccino! I don't have any particular favorite blends, but Ken and I always make a pot of freshly brewed tea to have after dinner at night - NOT teabags. I love that canister on the right in your photo! There are some gorgeous canisters around, and I have a small collection on spare shelves in the kitchen, but I have to stop myself from picking up any more...I collect enough stuff now!Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14030497.post-1142995750823275812006-03-21T20:49:00.000-06:002006-03-21T20:49:00.000-06:00Good taste in teas, gal!

Terry has found a really yummy smelling (I haven't tasted it yet) tea from Stash called Double Bergamot Earl Grey. Not sure if it's one you would be able to drink or not, but you should just smell it. Let me know if you'd like to try it and I can send a couple of bags.<BR/><BR/>Good for you on giving up desserts! I think sugar has a lot to do with weight gain and weight loss. Congrats on finding a combination that is working for you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14030497.post-1142882554370999372006-03-20T13:22:00.000-06:002006-03-20T13:22:00.000-06:00Yessss!

Imagine: when you order some tea in a café, what do you get? Lipton yellow! Yuck!!! Can't drink that...<BR/>There isn't much choice around here except tea with berries (I am allergic too), mint tea (still gotta find a good one)....<BR/>My favourites are: Ceylan, Darjeeling, and -strangely- PG tips that I buy in bulks when I go to England. They're sweet teas. The worst one I have ever tried is smoked tea (Lapsang Souchong). <BR/>I also need to lose weight, but when I cut on desserts, I end up eating sweets...<BR/>I loved your comment on my blog about the mother, it cheered me up seeing I made you laugh!<BR/>Take care!Leelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187947747462745452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14030497.post-1142875132538486962006-03-20T11:18:00.000-06:002006-03-20T11:18:00.000-06:00I can't imagine ever giving up coffee, but I recog...I can't imagine ever giving up coffee, but I recognize the necessity. You are a better woman than I!<BR/>In the afternoon I like to have tea, mostly since I think brewing a new pot of coffee would be excessive. In that regard, I am a strict Earl Grey chick. If I run out, Orange Pekoe will do, but not very well.

It's been awhile since I've bought it, so I can't remember just what I liked about it, but now that you've mentioned it, I'm going to look for it this week! <BR/>Congrats on losing the weight. I should do the same - at least give up the desserts!<BR/>We'll have to cheer each other on in the Battle for the Bedroom with our teens! This week I have to take on my dd, who turns 18 tomorrow. It's a little touchier situation with her tho and I can't use the same tactics as I did with the boys. After writing about cleaning the boys' room, my oldest married dd called me and said she was cleaning up her room now, lol!!!Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371188658168380757noreply@blogger.com
