Bio
Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.
I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!
Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.
Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.
95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home
90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more
80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more
70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)
50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor
Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.

Have you tried it with milk? It makes it taste sooo much better to me. Calms down the cinnamon a bit and replaces it with creaminess..
Good idea! Thanks!
I’ve never had this and my comment is pretty much useless, but I’m making snuckerdoodle cookies right now! Mrs. Sigg’s Recipe:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cream together butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, the eggs and the vanilla. Blend in the flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. Shape dough by rounded spoonfuls into balls. Mix the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon. Roll balls of dough in mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until set but not too hard. Remove immediately from baking sheets.1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
How were they, Nightshifter? I have all the ingredients except butter (I usually sub margarine), and am debating making cookies…
Good! I’m eating a couple right now for breakfast with Golden Fleece. YUM! :)
