Got Milk.... Tea?

My favorite drink, believe it or not, is milk. Seem strange that a middle-age baby boomer would prefer a glass of milk over a beer? Well, yeah, and I've taken a lot of flack for it, but having never broken a bone in my life, or had a cavity, and I will reap the benefits that most people will never know. I can only thank God that I'm not lactose intolerant... because I am a very "dairy" person in my food choices, and dinner to me always includes a glass of milk. Between my son and myself, we go through a gallon a day easily... and trips to the grocery store always include at least two gallons on the list, with another trip two days later to stock up again.

Of course that's not to say I don't drink anything else, because I do mix it up a bit with water and tea.... and living in the south, tea is a mainstay in your refrigerator. If you order tea in the south, you will be asked if you want it "sweet or unsweet". That threw me off the first time, because being from the northeast, you just got it hot and sweetened your own.... nobody ever asked. Well, how nice of them, I thought. Yeah, these southerners are every bit accommodating and friendlier than I thought. When a tall glass of iced tea arrived with a fat lemon on top, I was a little taken aback, but ok... I like ice tea just as much as I do hot tea.... so down the hatch. It was delicious! Freshly brewed and not that powder jar stuff. Wow, what a complete difference!
I was told by my husband, who is a native of Atlanta, that nobody uses that powdered stuff down here.... why that's a sin!

Experimenting with different types herbal teas in my teens and 20's, I've always had a love of tea. It's become my wake-up drink in the morning, as I had to cast away the coffee due to the complications that coffee caffeine gave me... and I can't quite get a cold glass of milk down so early in the a.m. So each day, I make myself a nice large cup of green tea to rev up the engine,
and fulfill my daily intake of vitamin C.... and then get out the traveler cup to take a some with me on the road.

As far a beer.... well didn't everybody try that back in their sneaking days? So did I. Never quite could acquire the taste for beer, as I'm not a drinker of anything that includes carbonates, including sodas. Just order me a Kahlua sombraro... or as it's called here: kahlua & cream....
got to have that milk!
