You know what’s really great on a hot and hazy day (and we’ve been having plenty of those lately)? For me, it’s been grapefruit juice. Yes, very exotic, right? Sounds like something you might sip as you relax in those claw foot tubs.

I squeeze my grapefruit juice fresh and drink it right away. My daughter was never a big fan of grapefruit until she had a sip and now she’s hooked. We can’t buy grapefruits fast enough and they’re on my grocery list every week. How’s that even possible for someone who’s been going yuck at grapefruits all these years?

We were at Coffee Bean last weekend and my girls decided to try their Strawberries and Cream ice blended. It’s a coffee free drink suitable for kids, the young at heart or just for a change.

This Strawberries and Cream drink tastes like something right out of my childhood days. It’s creamy sweetness reminds me of candy floss and interestingly, seemed to transport us away from the familiar Coffee Bean environment of laptops and routers. Have you tried this flavor before?

Right, here’s what I drink every day. Chinese tea. Love the taste. Love the fact that it reduces the fatty effect of oily foods. Love that there are so many flavors to choose from, each interesting and tasty in its own way.

I went to a tea exposition a few weeks ago and bought 3 canisters of oolong and puer tea. I love those colorful designs on the canisters which I kinda think of as metal buildings for housing the dried tea leaves.

I brew a different flavor of Chinese tea every day. I kinda like to surprise myself, so it could be puer one day, oolong the next, jasmine the next.
