Lenten tea

I don't know. Melange could kill you...

toci subsists on only one packet?

I'm not of the religion so I have no idea how long this is for, but I it seems like an easy out :) I'm going to give up unopened tea that I don't own ;) So, if you win do you get like the VIP treatment upstairs? If you fail do you go directly to hell and not collect $200? Inquiring minds want to know.

Funny, true story: When I was in college (one semester at a private Catholic university taking some general credits) I went to lunch in the cafeteria one Friday and the usual sandwich cart where you could make your own sandwiches was covered with a tarp. Nothing on the line seemed good so I peeked under the tarp and the meats were there, fancying myself a master McGyver cafeteria creator, I grabbed some roast beef, a slice of bread, and made an open faced sammich and tossed it in the microwave. I sat down smiling with happiness at my creation to a hot meal at a table near one full of nuns and got some of the dirtiest looks I've ever seen in my life. I had no idea until later that night when I suggested going out for hamburgers and someone informed me that it was Good Friday. Doh!

Overkill. All you need for fish are the greens.

Not Melange de Cermonix. I think nutmeg by itself in sufficient amounts is bad for you, though. Toci

I think that's about 160 cups of tea, and I drink definitely less than a liter a day. Toci

I'm trying to finish the greens first. That's China gunpowder green, which makes a week of resteepings, Kukicha twigs, and Celestial Seasoning Antioxidant Green Tea, which is really another melange, with eleuthero, alfafaa, and stevia. Toci

I haven't checked upstairs for any goodies I might get. Probably about as many as my daughter who gave up wearing yellow for Lent one year. Lent is 40 days. Toci

Sorry, I took Lewis's comment as a "Dune" reference.

"The spice exists on only one planet [...]"

Very well. I didn't read the book, Dune, and it's the only movie I ever walked out on. Immediate, unrelenting, unexplained, and boring violence. Melange is French for things all messed up together? Toci

Read the book. It's not the kind of book that would make a good movie. The fact that they keep trying over and over again to make movies from it and failing is a sign of that. I recommend the book.

Wow. It wasn't consciously on my mind, but I gratefully accept your interpretation.

That book took over my life for a week when I had strong reasons for doing something else. "Gripping" would be an understatement.

March teas- I'm circulating four blacks and two of the greens. The malange and Celestial Seasoning are dropped to try again for iced tea when that time comes. I haven't gotten around to the puehr or the TGY. Marching onward.... Toci
