I may have to try skiing..we will SEE LOLOL!

Tawnya,

My W and I used to drink tea all the time. I still do every once in a while. Anyways, we used to drink rooibos all the time. It's my mom who really started us on drinking it 20yrs ago when we went to South Africa (that's where it comes from). Rooibos means red bush.

We ordered it from this website. Theirs is really good and they have other teas that are great also. We have had the Oolong teas also. You can also get some samples for not too much money to see what you like.

Hello again...I heard tea being mentioned and being British an all, had to step in!

I am a coffe drinker, very very rarely go to Starbucks and usually stick to a plain old 'cuppa'

You've all lost me a little with the talk of red bushes!

You still sound great though and that is the main thing!

Catchya later.

{{{Sam}}} Sweet..not many people know what "rooibus" is but even Pearl has found she loves it now that I started talking about it THANK you for that link..I will definitely check it out!

{{Silva}} HA..yeah..you heard about a good "spot" of tea being talked about eh? Starbucks is good stuff..and, since I'm NOT a coffee drinker, I don't find many places that serve a good cup of tea without having to add my own sugar/milk/whatever..so I love my Starbucks rooibus!! Thanks for stopping by

Well had a work day today, a "necessary evil" as Amy called it LOLOL, and got a bunch of work done that had been in a pile as I have been working in another area and not able to do my "real job"..heading out to meet D18 to grab a bite this evening and I dunno what other trouble we will get into after that! Have a 7 am to 7 pm work day tomorrow so blah to that...but hopefully it will go quickly!

Well T, I hate to burst your bubble, but I've been drinking Rooibos for a few years now. But I hadn't tried the Rooibos latte at SB before you started talking about it.

Sorry about your 12-hr day Wed. I'll think of you while I'm baking red velvet cupcakes and doing laundry.

Tawnya--

I am going to Starbucks today and trying a rooibos today. I love tea, but am actually addicted to Caramel Apple Cider from Starbucks.

Pearl--

Put some chocolate chips in those cupcakes--it makes the cake moister, since red velvet is a notoriously dry cake. I could not believe the difference when I did it!

Living God's blessings with grace and dignity~

You are all making me thirsty and hungry....can anyone email me some tea and cakes????

[pearlharbr]

SMW - have you tried the SB salted caramel hot chocolate? It's sooooo good! I've decided I'm not a huge fan of the rooibos latte (sorry T!) but I do like the tea alone. Thanks for the cupcake tip. I will try it, but haven't had problems with my red velvet being too dry. I use a good cake mix.

Sorry for the tj Tawnya. Hope your long day is going quickly!

{{{Pearl}}} Dang..you DID bust my bubble..LOL..no just kidding, I had never heard of rooibus, but I AM glad you took my advice and tried the Starbucks one..it's really good, and Borders makes a good one as well (it's a red tea vanilla latte there). YUMMY on the cupcakes..hope they turned out great..and treat yourself to a FEW before you give them away eh? BY the way, I thought you DID like the rooibus..oh well..LOL..

{{{SMW}}} Try it and see how you like it! I LOVE their caramel apple cider..it is DELICIOUS! Let me know if you love it or hate it I don't LOVE the salted hot chocolate that Pearl suggested and, to be honest, disappointingly, I don't love any of their hot chocolates and I LOVE hot chocolate..it's sorta like eating a pretzel with your hot chocolate LOL.

{{{Silva}}} NOPE..you are gonna have to go stick your nose into the Starbucks and get a tea (vanilla rooibus naturally) and they may have some cupcakes or, if not, the lemon pound cake is YUMMO!

My day is going EH..it was going quickly this morning, it got to noon like QUICK, but now it's dragging! On the upside, we had a new doctor in the area, that we would potentially be referring patients to, bring us lunch from Chic-Fil-A, some yummy chicken salad and chicken wrap, brownies, and fruit tray..YUM

Yeah, I'm sorry Pearl, but SALTED hot chocolate does NOT sound very good to me!! But hey, everyone has their thing! Just remembered this English movie I saw a couple of months ago where a bunch of guys put brown sauce in their tea. Silva, you know what that is! It's similar to Worcestershire sauce, kind of peppery and salty. That just sounded NASTY!
