Wednesday BITES!!
Wednesdays posts are about food! Yay!
We both love food. Who doesn’t? We both love eating, we both love cooking. And we both have lots and lots to share on the subject. Furthermore, we live in a great big city with not only lots of food options, but lots of really really fantastic food options. Within a few blocks of our house, we have our pick of delicious Korean fried chicken, fancy fresh pizzas, and a long list of different flavored margaritas, not to mention the numerous cafes, ice cream shops, and of course, the fancy cheeses place. Ooh, I just saw on their website they have classes. I could go on and on! I haven’t even touched on our brunch options!
But there are lots of Wednesdays ahead, so there’s no need for me to ramble on like this. We’ll be taking turns talking about restaurants, recipes, and the latest taste sensations (mmhmm, I’ve said it before, we’re cutting edge) as they relate to our lives here in Chicago.
All of that said, and now that you’re all excited, I’ve had a cold for the last few days and I think pretty much all I’ve consumed has been frosted mini wheats (aldi brand, of course) and, most of all, red tea. Or at least that’s all I can think of. Bummer.
So that’s going to be it for me today: red tea. Lucky for me, it’s delicious, because, on the orders of my supervisor at the cafe, I drank almost a hundred ounces of it at work last night in a variety of forms: hot red tea, iced red tea, red tea latte, red tea latte with vanilla, with caramel, with soy milk, iced soy red tea latte with sugar free vanilla, easy on the ice… almost 100 ounces. That’s a lot.
They’re starting to say that red tea has as many health benefits as green tea when it comes to antioxidents and lowering cholesterol and generally making you healthier, which I think is nice because I like red tea better. I did make it through my closing shift last night, if that’s any testament to red tea’s ability to keep a fever down and a person up. But I tell you what, after 100 ounces, I don’t mind that we’re out of red tea and I’ve been drinking other things. I also don’t mind not having to close tonight. Sheesh, Wednesday really does bite when you’re sick. But don’t worry, I’ll bolster up my strength and get to feeling better and post a super awesome foodie post next week. It’ll probably be about lentils. Get excited.
PS, my back is sore and I think it’s because I’ve been blowing my nose so much. Is that weird?
PPS, Mac made me dinner, some delicious sweet potatoes and Asian sesame salad with oranges and chicken. He’s the best. Who needs to eat out when you can eat on the couch? :)
