I'm having tea right now. With one teaspoon of sugar.

Still eludes me how people can drink it with milk, like them Brits :v

Milk is delicious! There's nothing like a hot breakfast tea with sugar and milk. It's smooth and sweet.

[RedKing]

I'm partial to milk in my (hot) tea as well. I used to drink hot tea as a kid, stopped when I got to college and drank lots of coffee. Recently dropped coffee (partly because it aggravates my reflux and partly because the cheapass coffee here at work tastes like the bottom of an ashtray) and switched back to hot tea. On top of that, I drink enough sweet iced tea daily to drown a small mammal in. Like at least a half gallon a day, mostly freshmade at home.

I feel like eating crispy dumplings that are piping hot on the inside, the small crescent shaped ones, not the big fist-sized ones. Them, with rice! <3

OM NOM NOM JIAOZI. Or baozi. Or Zongzi. Or shumai. Hell, just chop up anything, wrap it in some kind of dough or leaves and cook it. I WILL EAT IT. There's a Taiwanese place just up the road that makes the most delicate, savory jiaozi I've ever put in my mouth. And then a Sichuan place even closer that cooks their jiaozi in chili oil. Soooooooooo good.

Was recently very pleased to find a Chinese buffet place near the house that doesn't suck. And they have fresh steamed no mai gai (sticky rice with bits of chicken, shaped into a small block and steamed inside lotus leaves), which are awesome.


Okay, that settles it. I'm eating out for lunch today. xD

I wanna find a place to have Dimsum. I think my town is too small for that kind of cuisine though. Maybe there's some super seekrit Chinese restaurant that does Dimsum on Sundays.

You have to look hard for good Dimsum. I've lived in Montreal and just outside of Washington D.C. and there were some amazing places in their respective Chinatowns, however now that I'm living in a smaller city I've had a much harder time finding one. I eventually asked a first generation daughter of Chinese immigrants and she told me of a nice little place. It's strange in that it has Dimsum all the time, rather than just the Sunday lunch like most places, but the quality is good and it seems authentic enough. Even has the hanging meats that make you wonder how much the local health inspector makes in bribes each year.

You know it's a good place when the restaurant grade certificate looks like it was photocopied from a cleaner restaurant. xD

Ate waaaaay too much for lunch. Miso, gyoza, and a big honkin' plate of curry rice with tonkatsu (lightly breaded pork cutlet) on top. Soooo good, but sooooo sleepy now.

I remember a Dimsum restaurant in Windsor, Canada. Damn canadians get better chinese food

Main reason I don't drink coffee is because I'm afraid I'd get addicted. I know enough people who can't function without their morning brew that makes me fear its long term effects. Tea is decent but it takes a bit too long to cool down to manageable levels for my patience. Still, we've got a cupboard full of all sorts of special tea I've bought from the local Ye Olde Tea Shoppe.

I loathe tea and coffee, I find both taste horrible, and I'm no good with scalding hot things.

I like the smell of coffee, though.

Put cream and sugar in it. Taste problem = solved. And you might actually start to pick out qualities of the actual flavor you enjoy.

I can't drink black coffee, personally. Bitterness and moisture theft isn't something I prize highly in a drink.

Thats why i take it straight, can't get addicted to something bitter as hell.

Eventually you'll become one of those people who likes bitter coffee. Then what will you do?

No no no no no. You wear a cool futuristic mask and start using coffee analogies for everything.

This house plant is like coffee *sip*, it needs water, and is best in a lightly sunny area.

This forum is like coffee *sip*, it's dark, enjoyable, and keeps me up at night.

The drink is like coffee *sip*, because it's hot, brown, full of caffeine, and made from coffee beans.


I don't actually like coffee, but he really makes me wish I did.

I like the smell of coffee, though.
