Stay a hard-core coffee junkie long enough and you’ll eventually want to explore the wide world of gourmet teas. Either you’ll burn out on coffee physically (some poor souls develop stomach trouble from too much caffiene), become the bug-eyed jittery type of coffee drinker who’s forced to switch to tea’s lower-caffiene-load, or, if you’re luckiest of all (like me!), someone will give you a hefty gift certificate for one of the internet’s finest online tea shops. And once you’re hooked, you’re hooked. Unlike coffee (which, let’s face it comes in three basic choices: dark, light, flavored), tea comes in more: black, green, white, red, spiced, flavored, and herbal. There’s more than that (and of coffee too), but those are the main categories. And, yes, ’spiced’ and ‘flavored’ are not the same thing.

Thursday, December 17th, 2009Behaving well almost always behooves you. That is especially true when eating out. Having spent ample time behind the scenes in the food industry, I can assure you, one and all, that if you mistreat the people that prepare and ferry your food, you run a high risk of it being tampered with. (By ‘tampered’ I mean deliberately over-or-under-cooked, spit upon, dropped on the floor, or any other monkey shines the staff come up with.) Be nice to the food handlers. They are generally overworked, underpaid, routinely disrespected, and itching for revenge.
