Lipton Tea, The Only Tea For Me
I’ve always been a tea drinker, hot or cold, anytime, anywhere. My father’s family came from England and tea was always a big thing, our Daddy really enjoyed his hot tea with a splash of evaporated milk!
Over the years I became very fond of Lipton Tea Bags and would only purchase and/or use Lipton, nothing else had the same taste, but I did cut out the evaporated milk tradition.
A close friend collects the Wade figurines that come in the package of Red Rose Tea Bags, so I switched brands in order to help fill out her collection and I look for the figurines when ever I am at a Flea Market or Yard Sale. You would be surprised how many Wades there are out there, some go for a good amount of $$$.
Anyway, my taste buds have gone wacky on me over the past few years, nothing tastes right and I’m very discouraged because I miss enjoying the taste of foods. Maybe I really should look into breaking the habit of smoking cigarettes. I just might look around online and see how much a vape starter kit is going for. I know a lot of people that are using these types of products and most of them are stating that it has helped them to stop smoking all together. I mean it’s worth a shot. Smoking is said to kill your tasted buds and that things taste so much better after about three weeks of putting those coffin nails down all together. That is something to look forward to.
So I decided to go back to Lipton and I’m glad that I did because boy it really does taste good. I might even try drinking a cup of coffee now and then. There are so many varieties to taste and drink

Check Your Air Pressure
Walking around my truck last night I thought the tires looked a little low. The tread on the tires is really good – I have only had these tires for a little over 2 years. So I drove up to the gas station and had to pay a dollar to use their air hose. I was able to get 3 of the 4 tires filled with air before the dollar ran out. The 4th one is not so bad that I wanted to spend another dollar on just that one. But I wonder why they had gotten so low on air in the first place?
Home Made Chili
I make my chili in the crockpot, and never the same way twice. LOL
I toss in beef – either chuck or ground – and a couple handfuls of dried pinto beans to get it started. You can use dry kidney beans or even red beans, but hubby prefers pinto beans, so that’s what I use unless he’s not going to be home – and then it’s Darlene’s Way!
Then I add onions, salt, garlic powder and enough water to cover everything and still have about 1/2 inch after the beans soak up the water they need to double in size. That’s the only tricky part – because if you aren’t home to check on it, sometimes the beans soak up all the water and then you have a burnt problem. But if you learn what’s enough water, it beats having to soak the dry beans overnight!
After I get home, I add an envelope of chili mix, which is mostly chili powder with some cumin, stir and get busy fixing at the very least, a pan of cornbread. If I’m energetic, I might make a pot of macaroni noodles and have Chili Mac, or nuke 4 big russet potatoes, split them down the middle and spoon the chili over them.
Then I put out a few bowls of different toppings, so each person can choose their own fixin’s. Usually I have chopped sweet onion, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and sliced jalapenos. Good stuff!
If you have a favorite chili recipe that you make in a crockpot, how about sharing that with me? Would love to try something good if you recommend it!
I Support Yoga
The wife has all ready started her Christmas wish list and is urging others to start thinking about their lists as we only have over 300 days before Christmas arrives. She has really gotten into yoga these past couple of years and is always looking for the perfect meditation cushion and thinks that she just might have found one online at YogaAccessories dot com and sent me the link to the ones that she is seriously eyeballing lately.
I have to admit these are some nice quality looking yoga mats/cushions and I would gladly get which ever one(s) she wants. After all yoga makes her feel good and keeps her looking good, how could I not help support something that has so much to offer both of us.
Portable Microphone
It’s good to know that they portable microphone that I gave to my big sis for Christmas has been such a big hit with her and her Karaoke friends! She has been getting more and more into this Karaoke scene, which is an enormously big deal for her. Since she has been declared legally disabled her life has changed in way too many negative ways. One of the biggest challenges has been that she is not able to drive a car. A hard pill to swallow for a strong and independent woman like my sister.
