****************
I have skipped the first 7 questions as I do not drink coffee or tea. In fact I don't drink anything hot. In the almost 66 years that I have been occupying this planet I have taken exactly two sips of coffee. Once was in high school when a really cute girl offered me a sip. After taking a sip I decided she was cute but not cute enough to get me drinking coffee. The other time was a few years later after a really cute barmaid kept bringing me beer. I thought a cup of coffee might help sober me up. After one sip I decided being drunk was a better choice.

Do you have a favorite container for hot or cold beverages that you use outside of your home?
***The bottle the cheap beer is in.

What types of herbs do you like?
***Don't know.

What are some of your favorite spices?
***Garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and Mrs Dash.

Do you like spicy-hot foods?
***Not real hot

What is your favorite starchy food and how do you like it prepared?
***Spuds fixed all ways.

Good question. Potatoes are mostly blah unless you add something, true of most starches imo. But potato chips are da bomb. Pasta is okay with tomato sauces. I really like rice. I even started thread about it once.
I really like good bread. If I had to choose between bread and rice forever, I'd choose bread. So I'll say bread. I like rye, pumpernickel, sweet bread like Hawaiian rolls or buttery, eggy breads like brioche, garlic bread, Texas toast, cinnamon rolls, muffins, etc. Cake.

Thanks letting me work that out, Pam.

Ancient thread about rice:
Why is rice so good?

Have you used loose tea leaves? Yes, I have both a tea ball and a special mug with an infuser for my loose tea.

Do you buy coffee beans to grind at home? No. I'm currently looking at buying a small grinder, so that will be changing soon I hope. .

Do you own a hot beverage machine that uses single-serving pods such as K-cups? No, but I use one at work.

My bank has a small machine in its lobby which makes coffee, tea and hot chocolate for free. Did you ever use such a machine in a business that you visited? I feel fairly certain I have on occasion, maybe when sitting down with a bank officer or something. Oh, and at the car dealership.

Have you used a teapot? Yes, I have a small, rather flat, stoneware teapot that was given as a gift with an assortment of teas one year. I use it every winter, keep it on a mug warmer near the computer.

Do you ever keep hot beverages in an insulated pitcher? no

Do you have a favorite container for hot or cold beverages that you use outside of your home? I have one of those huge Rocky Mountain travel tumblers that I take to work. It's big enough and stays hot enough to last my entire shift.

What types of herbs do you like? So far the only thing I've found that I'm not overly fond of is lemongrass.

What are some of your favorite spices? Anise, cloves, garlic of course, and different spice blends, za'atar, harissa

Do you like spicy-hot foods? I like a moderate amount of heat, not anything that overpowers the taste of my food or causes pain or burning sensations. I don't usually go to ethnic restaurants and order the 'hot' level off the menu. .

What is your favorite starchy food and how do you like it prepared? Potatoes, any way they're fixed.


That's all for now, boys and girls. Have a totally terrific Tuesday, and don't forget to commit an act of kindness.
