'Why We Fight'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Irish Breakfast tastes... well, I'm the opposite of a supertaster, so all I can say is that to me it tastes burlier. Which is exactly no help at all.
Our computer guy has bits and pieces of a dozen or so Macs floating around his office, so I'm pretty sure I could gank a workable keyboard and mouse from him and still reserve the $20 for caffeine, caffeine, and nothing but caffeine.
I love my G4 laptop, which I am typing on now. Love love love.
Still working on the Freelance Project That Would. Not. Die. I don't think it'll ever be finished; I think I'm doomed to keep working on it unto eternity, a modern-day version of Sisyphus.
Hee. Now I'm imagining a tea leaf with big arm muscles and a brogue.
Hmm. My box of English Breakfast tea says "A blend of Ceylon, Kenyan and Indian teas, producing a full-bodied brew." The Irish Breakfast says, "A rich, traditional blend producing a robust, satisfying brew." Which doesn't really explain anything. They do taste different, though.
What's the difference between English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast tea? I've been drinking the latter a lot lately, but I've never tried the former.
Irish breakfast is mostly (sometimes all) Assam tea.
English breakfast is a Keemun tea blend.
What Daniel Said. I used to love drinking Assam before my taste buds got grouchy about tannin; nowadays it's Keemun Ji Hong, baby!

AKA "More than you ever wanted to know about tea."
Or maybe "TMI about tea"
When I was on a choir tour in England I got some the Ahmad brand English Breakfast tea & English Afternoon tea. Those were very yummy.
Oh good crap, it's not too late: Happy birthday, -t!!!
I am irrationally in love with the TeaTMI page Daniel linked to. Thank you oh thank you!
Also, in T related matters, happy birthday, -t!
