an afternoon cup of tea flavonoids
will be good for me!
(i've been reading about flavonoids*...
...flavonoid antioxidants keep cells healthy.)
...flavonoid antioxidants keep cells healthy.)
i'll sip it black or green, fancy or traditional, plain and simple,
or with a touch of honey.
or with a touch of honey.
and...
...on three days a week...
... i'll take little bite of dark chocolate
at tea time.
the dark chocolate on sale in the grocery store was this week
was Moonstruck, which is made in Portland, Oregon.
i bought a plain dark bar, and one that holds Chile Variado.
i am totally intrigued with what the chocolatier's are adding to
chocolate lately. the two bars will last two months, if it's not shared.
the new ritual begins today.
{next Monday, focusing on flavonoids and weighing in.}

So is the chocolate the flavonoid???:):) Just making fun. I love to taste the tea, I do not like weak teas or coffee...but then I do not need the strenghth of the coffee to be "truck driving strong", know what I mean. Enjoy this pretty day. Smiles, xo, Susie

What a wonderful new ritual!! May I join you? I think this is going to be just my 'cup of tea!' Perhaps a bit of quiet or meditation or maybe soft music? And what time are we gathering for this new ritual?
ReplyDeleteYou are always welcome to tea with me! <3

I think I shall set down this cup of coffee and make a cup of tea instead. Enjoy your new ritual. Dark chocolate (the good stuff) is my absolute favorite treat. xo Jami
ReplyDeleteI like this new ritual very much! I think I just may need to take this one on myself.
ReplyDeleteI don't think those chocolate bars would last two minutes around me! But I do like your ritual...I love rituals period! I sip coffee and Diet Pepsi all day long, so there is no stopping to sit and enjoy the moment. Yes, I need to change my ways!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
XO,
Jane
