    Carne Seca …. Basically beef dried in the sun on roofs.  A local restaurant makes it, then the rehydrate it for some of the best Carne Seca tacos/burritos/tamales.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    Can someone please do me a favour and bump that thread about registering Eggs for September 30 (or something like that)? Is it applicable to us Canadians?

    Still haven’t registered them and am worried that I may miss some deadline.

    @GrateEggspectations - Yesterday I received a registration reminder email from BGE.  The message states this online registration period only applies to Eggs purchased within the US.

    I am just getting into the tea game.  I read online the proper brewing temp for black tea was 205 deg.  This was perhaps the best brew of lipton tea I have ever had.

    if you are serious about tea, you are using loose leaf. I typically have 7 or 8 on the go depending on mood

    Scottish Breakfast, Ceylon, Oolong, Russian Caravan, Aasam, Lapsang souchong, Green of some ilk. I'm sure I've forgotten some and I'm too lazy to go upstairs unless it is for a beer. 

    But if you do use tea bags (and I admit to that for a quick and dirty) use PG Tips as their bags are plant based and compostable in the backyard bin.  For years I was puzzled about all the tea bags that survived intact through the composter until I learned about the plastic levels in the bags and that when the box says "compostable" it mean in a high-temp industrial system. What you want is biodegradable which is backyard composter friendly.

    When egging in In the rainy winter I switch from beer to a dried fruit tisane that is great for a warm drink while I'm out in the drizzle/dark/chill.

    Time for that beer.

    I have only the finest teas.  Lipton, Lipton Iced, and Bigelow Chamomile, and Twinings Earl Grey.  All top shelf in my grocery store.

    Most of it is still within the Best Buy date too.

    Only six letters that matter here : PG Tips

    Get mug. Boil water. Bag in mug. Add just boiled water. Leave. Remove bag two or three minutes later. Don't squeeze it.  Add milk.  Drink,  Repeat. 

    Upgrade options : pre-warm the mug, or, leave mug on non-heat sapping surface throughout.  Full fat milk.
