Inspired

So I've been inspired by schmoo999 to start getting better about my diet and lack of exercise. Panting my way through mowing the lawn on a beautiful 75F day Saturday enters into this somewhere, too

I am trying to drink more water. I think I am sort of succeeding.

I don't drink a lot of tea warm, but I have always liked the Tazo teas and I think you can get those in HEB. They have a Passion flavor that has hibiscus, and a cinnamon one.

Thanks! I'm kicking myself that I didn't write down the tea brand that one of this summer's knitting group hostesses had, because her teas were always good, even the weird herbal ones with no actual tea in them. She was at Rhinebeck Sheep&Wool this weekend, though, and won't be back in Austin till after Thanksgiving.

Adagio Tea is a cool place to poke around, plus they have excellent samples. I got my cool IngenuiTEA thing from them to make cups at a time out of the loose stuff. I really liked the strawberry kind, it was very fruity.

I'm sorry you can't drink more water. But tea is a good idea! Plus, some teas taste fabulous cold as well as hot (make sun tea -- use twice as many bags as you would for warm tea, fill jar with water and put out in the sunshine for a couple hours. Remove tea bags and pop into the fridge. Voila

I'm a fan of hot/lukewarm tea more than iced tea. Or rather, they're better for me, because I'm southern enough to think that iced tea needs a metric ton of sugar syrup in it to be any good. =)

I got some Republic of Tea blackcurrant plum decaf green tea bags today. Smells better than it tastes, but the taste isn't bad, so I'll be able to drink those. I'll have to look for those T-sac bags, because I've got loose leaf ginger ceylon that I love, but I'm honestly too lazy most of the time to brew it.
