With the teabag in a cup of hot water, and the creamer added when it's all
dark. As opposed to the Indian way, wehere you put the tealeaves (or teabag,
more convenient) into the water, add teh milk and then boil the whole
concoction till desired strength. Add sugar when the milk and tealeaves are
added. (I think it tastes much better)

Most Indian restaurants will serve it. They add "chai masala" - ground spices
that go in the tea. (well the restaurants here will add it)  - It's called
masala chai.

A remedy for colds - before adding  anything, boil a piece of ginger in the
wter. Then add everything else. I love the flavor. Another variation is to
use cardomom seeds instead of ginger.

Milk? Creamer? Sugar? Bags? In tea? (Somebody else must brew it the
Mountaineer's way - tea (no bag) into boiled water.)

In a few hours you'll probably poop some bacon.

Re 29. The differnce lies more in the way it's brewed rather in the
ingredients. One way boils everything, the other uses boiled water. The
outcomes is very different.

Boil the ginger, let it cool, and then boil everything together?  Or use the
gingered water the 'English' way?

Boil the ginger, and while the water is still boiling, add the tea and sugar.
When it gets to a dark brown color, add the milk and boil it some more. Boil
to the desired strenghth (this takes many many brewings unless you know
exactly what you want) Darker the resulting color, stronger the tea. My aunt
boils for exact times, but I'm not sure what they are.

sine I do everything based on estimates, my tea is usually hit or miss. The
fiance makes really good tea.

White hominy grits from the Dollar STore with a preserved apricot from
Jerusalem Market, and Jim's next attempt at an omelet that won't fall apart
but did anyway.  I think he should be using less chopped peppers than egg.
I am still chasing this around the plate with a spoon (shaky hand) but finally
dumped it on top of the cereal.  Whole milk.
Lunch - salt at the U of M hospital cafeteria, in the form of a vegetable
'chimichanga' which from top down consists of a thick layer of melted cheese,
a few fried vegetables, a white flour tortilla and a thin layer of
unbelievably salty beans.  Jim ate half of it for me after I tried to get it
down with two cups of milk and a pear.  I see why people are getting 32 oz
of soda with their meals.  This is in a hospital that leaves salt out of the
patient food and substitutes pepper.  Jim's pizza was also very salty.
No more Nystatin oral antifungal treatment for a while.

Orange juice. My substitue for water

If you dilute the juice with water it has less calories.

A couple of fried-egg sandwiches, with cheddar cheese, mayo and mustard; one
on white, the other on whole wheat.
