'Race me?' Channon saw the well, a quarter of a mile away. 'And the stakes?'
'A wager?' Robin's brows rose. 'I have nothing to gamble. I intended only a game.' He looked away, embarrassed.
'But every contest must have stakes,' Channon coaxed, 'else, where is the sport? The prize shall be ... a kiss. If I win.'
Colour leapt in Robin's cheeks but he smiled. 'You are bold, Spaniard! And if I win?'
'A sovereign,' Channon offered. 'I'd pay a sovereign to taste your mouth, so I'd make the wager.'
'A high price for one kiss,' Robin judged. His eyes glittered with mischief now.
Channon mirrored the expression. 'Not any kiss, Master Armagh. Yours.'
'Then you had better win,' Robin taunted as he spun the mare on her haunches and bounded away toward the well.
Afterwards, Channon would never be sure if the race was won fairly ...
(Fortunes of War by Mel Keegan)
IT'S A SCENE that could be taken from any of dozens of historical romances, except for the fact that the saucy Channon is a man, and he will take far more than a kiss from the blushing Robin before the day is out. It comes from Mel Keegan's Fortunes of War, one of a small but growing gay genre, a world in which men are men, women are - well, actually, there aren't very many of them, apart from the odd powdered doxy or whey-faced whore, and no one ever starts discussing soft furnishings and safer sex (next time, yeah?) over that morning-after latte.
Who needs the Edmund Whites and Andrew Hollerans doing their bleeding- heart numbers when you can stow away to the New World on a 16th-century pirate ship (and no SPF 15), hitch a ride with a highwayman and watch him stand and deliver, or follow the adventures of Danny Hill, foster- brother of a certain Fanny, as he struts his magnum lignum around an enraptured 18th-century England ("Your pockets may be empty but your breeches seem to be uncommonly full").
And there's the rub, of course. This isn't really a gay copy of the straight romantic equivalent - the modern gay reader has come to expect a certain amount of friction in his fiction, and the gay historicals are no exception. None of your Georgette Heyer "No sex please, we're in period costume", and a world away from the main precursor to the genre, those embarrassing Mary Renault Greeks in togas talking about Plato but never really getting down to it. The modern gay historicals are a fusion of romance, adventure and erotica.
The successful TV adaptation of Moll Flanders shows there is a general appetite for corsets to be cast aside, a yearning for a time when all the world was, apparently, a guilt-free sexual playground, and you only had to bat an eyelid for some comely wench or fresh-faced pageboy to repair with you to the nearest hayloft. One straight company, Virgin,has cottoned on to the quickening interest within the popular gay market for something more sophisticated than the usual American-imported one-hand jobs (titles such as Meat Rack and Musclebound) which have traditionally dominated the shelves of bookstores' gay sections. Two of the three initial titles in its "Idol" list - "Homoerotic Fiction by Men for Men", due to be launched next month - are historical romances, although Virgin's marketing plays up the erotic aspect of their content.
The Velvet Web, by Christopher Summerisle, is set in the 1890s at a mysterious college deep in the English countryside and follows the adventures of a hypersensitive new student, Daniel, as he explores "secret passages in the grounds and forbidden texts in the library". The King's Men, by Christian Fall, is set during the time of the English Civil War, a story of love across the battle lines. This is a potentially lucrative field, hence the interest of Virgin - straight romantic fiction remains the largest sector of the adult paperback fiction market.
Until now, the Gay Men's Press has carried the torch for gay historical fiction. Mel Keegan is very much from the racier end of its list. Based in Adelaide, he cut his writing teeth on modern-day thrillers and science fiction before falling under the spell of the historical. His stories are a gay version of the classic formula: boy meets girl, boy wins girl's heart, boy loses girl, boy spends rest of story trying to get girl back. In Fortunes of War (pounds 7.95), set in 16th-century England, Irish-born mercenary captain Dermot Channon is working for the Spanish ambassador at the court of Queen Elizabeth. On a trip to the country, he meets Robin, youngest son of an earl. Dermot overcomes - rather easily - Robin's religious qualms and is soon initiating him into that "dark rapture" which is love between men. But then war is declared between England and Spain and Dermot has to leave. The two despair of ever seeing each other again. Several years later, Robin has to travel to the New World to pay the ransom on his naturalist brother, captured by the Spanish. En route his ship is attacked and ransacked by pirates. Robin is taken prisoner. No prizes for guessing who is the captain of the pirate ship.
In Mel Keegan's forthcoming book, White Rose of Night, set in the 12th century, 15-year-old Paul becomes the squire of a Saxon knight, Edward of Athelstone. Again, after some religious shillyshallying, they become lovers. Edward, with Paul in tow, then embarks on a crusade to the Holy Land to please his Norman overlords. In an ensuing battle, however, Paul is captured and held in bondage by a swarthy Saracen captain, and again a long and painful separation ensues...
Gay romantic fiction is an idealised world, as you might gather from the cover illustrations (featuring characters who look like they've just stepped out of a Soho hairdresser - who would have thought a number one crop, or indeed highlights, would have been so popular in the 16th century?). This is a world in which hose are always freshly laundered, breath is always sweet-smelling, a place without scurvy, lice and venereal disease - although there is the occasional fever, from which the heroes always miraculously recover. Like many porn movies, they have in common all- male settings like the army or navy. Feast yourself on bucking golden limbs, six-pack abs (although no one ever seems to go to the gym), thrill to stifled cries of pain and pleasure, and of course everyone's hung like a donkey: a rather worrying "scarlet mist" fills Robin's head when he is first pierced by Dermot's "lance" in Fortunes of War, while Paul in the White Rose of Night is ridden "like Icarus" by Edward who is of course "big and fierce" where it counts, in fact reminding Paul of the "haft of a spear".
Characterisation often mimics the boy-girl set-up of their straight counterparts. In Keegan's Fortunes of War, Robin is cherubic and slender, as is the cute, dark Paul in White Rose of Night. Their lovers, by contrast, are older and bigger, more masculine, more sexually active. The protagonists' relationship is also, typically, one of man and boy, master and pupil (Mary Renault casts a long shadow). The older partner initiates the younger one: into the realities of life, the arts of war and the secrets of love- making. And, this being before the age of consent, the young ones do start quite young - lucky things. However, there often comes a point, usually in the latter half of the stories, when roles are temporarily reversed and the younger one becomes active sexually. This is an important rite of passage in their relationship and is reached when younger one has proved himself as a man and the older one has been fully cured / relieved of a deep sadness / dark secret by the younger one's love, and learnt to open up a bit.
The leading light of gay historical fiction is GMP's Chris Hunt. Like Keegan, his protagonists and their sex lives tend to be idealised, and the pace is Boy's Own, but Hunt is not as formulaic in his storylines and goes much further in other respects in pursuit of historical accuracy. Like that late, great doyenne of straight romantic fiction, Georgette Heyer, he obviously does a great deal of research; his books have masses of period detail, although it can sometimes make them seem set in an olde worlde theme park.
Also like Georgette Heyer, Chris Hunt proved retiring and difficult to get hold of, although he eventually agreed to interview by letter - which is perhaps more in keeping with the period world which he inhabits. Hunt began writing in the Eighties. His first published book was Street Lavender (pounds 7.95). Set in 1880s London, it follows the story of Willie Smith who uses his cherubic young charms - he turns his first trick when he's about 10 as far as one can gather, in return for two ripe peaches - to escape the grinding poverty of the East End slums for a life of rent- boy decadence in the salons of the West End. But he finally finds true love in the arms of a decent older man (a classic Hunt conclusion) back in the East End, helping others to escape poverty by less desperate means than his own.
"The greatest influences on my writing to begin with were the swashbuckling films which I saw as a child in the Fifties," he says. "Errol Flynn and Stewart Grainger were particular heroes. Also around that time, John Buchan, whose Richard Hannay says, 'I have always had a boy's weakness for a yarn.' Later I acquired an English degree, and was influenced by medieval and Elizabethan literature, Thomas Hardy, Dickens, various historical novelists, Mary Renault and Daphne du Maurier."
Hunt ranges across centuries, sometimes inventing whole stories, sometimes creating a fiction around famous gay figures in history. In each he tries to adopt a writing voice appropriate to the period: whether bodice-ripping, Victorian penny-dreadful or courtly. The book he is working on at the moment, The Honey and the Sting, is set at the court of the gay King James I. This will be his third British royal foray. He has previously re-created the relationship between Edward II and Gaveston ("the most beautiful creation on God's earth", with "eyes as green as emeralds, and a smile that dazzled like the sun") and, surprisingly - or not, given the genre - the ending isn't as tragic as more familiar versions of the story. He has also taken on Elizabeth I, but not an Elizabeth I we are familiar with: the thesis of The Bisley Boy (pounds 8.95) is that the real Elizabeth died in infancy, and panic-struck servants substituted her male playmate, "a pretty boy, with a dainty arse". The fictional Elizabeth manages to fool most of the people most of the time. Confronted with the evidence that she has never had a period, she claims that this is due to the constant anxiety of her life. Even her suitors are fooled, although inevitably they find out if and when "she" gets them into bed - not that they seem to mind once they do find out. The "silly old queen" of the latter part of the story will probably ring bells in some circles.
"I try to write affirmatively," Hunt admits, "and in celebratory fashion. I like happy endings and see no point in adding misery to the world with a gloomy book. I'd like to think I entertained and diverted the reader. I don't think I'm re-writing history from a gay perspective - I think the gay perspective is already there, and we are quite justified in assuming this: I'm just interpreting it."
And what about his portrayal of homosexuality? "There is no way we can tell whether I have authentically portrayed historical homosexuality. So much in the past is hidden - either by the protagonists or by the censors of the time, such as the monkish chroniclers or the family and friends of someone who was gay and whose reputation they are trying to 'protect'. Much of it is simply missed out of the history books. Given this, one uses all the historical studies available and tries to portray the situation with honesty."
Perhaps his greatest success is Duval's Gold (pounds 9.95), both because it is a cracking yarn and because of its historical insight. This is the story of Davy Gadd, who grows up at a coaching inn on the Great North Road in the early 1700s and becomes enthralled by the tales of the greatest of all highwaymen, Claude Duval. Gadd himself becomes a highwayman, an outlaw both literally and sexually, drawn into London's thriving gay underworld. Hunt admits his book draws heavily on the pioneering gay historical researches of Rictor Norton, author of Mother Clap's Molly House, which is about the gay subculture in England from 1700 to 1830. Norton reveals that there were actually more gay pubs and clubs - "molly houses" - in London in the 1720s than there were in the 1950s. There were also back rooms, cruising grounds, cottaging (and the use of "pretty policemen"), even gay weddings presided over by a renegade minister. There is a fascinating disquisition on what gay men did, sexually: "Anal intercourse was the preferred route, without refinements. One would infer that the mollies contented themselves with spit and persistence, for there are few references to the use of any lubricants other than saliva ..." And also: "All of the available evidence, however, suggests that oral intercourse, fellatio, was rarely practised by the mollies ... The English have always regarded oral intercourse as especially unclean, and even in very recent times the British gay subculture regarded such activity as an American import." These latter sexual insights have not, however, found their way into Duval's Gold: modern sexual sensibilities are respected.
"This is always the problem with historical fiction, faced by all authors including the most talented," says GMP co-founder David Fernbach, who edits both Mel Keegan and Chris Hunt. "It's the problem of how to strike the right balance between what is comprehensible to the reader in the 20th century and the way people would have spoken and behaved 200, 500, or even 1000 years ago. This is a question of artistic compromise. I think Chris Hunt manages it as well as anyone."
Fernbach is evangelical about his gay historical titles. GMP was founded 20 years ago in the wake of the Gay Liberation Movement and saw its work as pioneering. It has far fewer political and controversial books on its lists now, but Fernbach insists its fiction titles serve the same purpose of reaffirming gay identity and providing a cultural and historical context for gay people that isn't generally available. "It all helps build up this kind of tradition that isn't there," says Fernbach. "Historical fiction is one way of doing this - I think it's very important for people who grow up gay in the West today to realise that the way in which homosexuality is handled by our society in the 20th century is just one option and that around the world, both past and present, there have been dozens of other ways. It's good to give gay people wider horizons."
Interestingly, Norton insists that times really were better for gay people during the period of his researches and that the bawdy insouciance of the inhabitants of the world of gay historicals does have a basis in fact. Of course there was the risk of imprisonment or the pillories and there were religious injunctions, but Norton says that this was nothing compared with the experiences of gay men in the 19th and 20th centuries when to the idea of sin and crime was added the concept that homosexuality was a sickness, of the body and, post-Freud, of the mind.
"The theory of sin was superseded by the theory of insanity," he says, "and prejudice was enforced by the tools of science as well as those of religion. The oppression the Georgian molly faced was largely external: fear of capture, conviction and execution. But the oppression experienced by the Victorian margery and the modern poof and queer became internalised as shame and guilt - repression from which there is no escape. For many, especially the puritan middle classes, fear was replaced by self-loathing, and executions were replaced by suicides."
Perhaps this is becoming a little portentous: let's face it, we're not talking Proust here. We're talking genre, excellent though many of the books are. So who keeps this market going, and which readers are being targeted by Virgin? In response to the question, Chris Hunts says his readers are "Really nice people." One rather suspects that the readers of gay historical fiction until now have been provincial nellies who don't get out much, and Essex hairdressers who've managed to read Boyz - or any of the other gay weeklies - from cover to cover and are ready to advance to something a little more taxing.
Perhaps more and more gay men will want to escape to the past - either to connect with a pre-Aids bawdy insouciance, or in reaction against the commercialisation and dumbing-down of modern gay culture. The furore over the annual Pride celebrations is the most obvious example of this: what was once a statement of political defiance and cultural diversity has become a heavily sponsored pop concert, attracting on the one hand straight companies who want to tap into an influential market; on the other, a large, straight teenybopper audience with no interest in gay rights.
Gay is increasingly accepted and mainstream and soon, presumably, laws will be equalised, and we'll all be just another big, happy marketing sub-group. So maybe Virgin is on to something: maybe gay people will start yearning for a time when, all joking aside, we were sexual outlaws, when love really was something you had to fight for.
Let the last word go to Chris Hunt: "Historical fiction is a form of escapism, and I am all for escapism. It is curiously pleasing to be safe and warm and reading or writing about somebody else getting muddy / wet / lost / having adventures / taking risks. And the clothes were so much prettier then - why did men stop wearing lace cravats and thigh boots?"

Serves eight to ten.
For a more elegant presentation, you can make this dessert in individual ramekins. Use eight medium (5-oz.) ramekins and lay plastic wrap over each one to submerge the bread during the soaking. It's also wonderful topped with whisky sauce.
Butter an 9 x 13-inch shallow baking dish with the 2 tsp. softened butter. In a large skillet, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter. Add half the bread cubes and sauté on medium to medium-high heat until the corners are barely golden, about 2 minutes. Dump the cubes into the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining 1 Tbs. butter and the rest of the bread.
Pour the milk and cream into a medium saucepan. Stir in the sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla bean, if using. Heat over medium high, stirring once or twice until the sugar dissolves and the milk is hot. Remove from the heat. If using vanilla extract, stir it in now. If using a vanilla bean, cover the sauce pan and let steep for 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and yolks. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in another 1/2 cup, and then the remaining more quickly. With a rubber spatula scrape any vanilla seeds from the saucepan into the custard.
Pour the custard over the bread, pushing down the cubes to moisten them all. Lay plastic wrap directly on the pudding and let sit, pressing on the plastic frequently to submerge the top layer, until the bread is thoroughly soaked, 30 to 35 minutes. While the bread soaks, adjust an oven rack to the center position. Set a roasting pan, large enough to comfortably hold the pudding, on the rack. Pour in hot water to come one-quarter of the way up the sides. Heat the oven to 350°F.
Remove the plastic wrap from the pudding. To make the topping, sprinkle on the raisins and press them partly into the pudding. In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the cinnamon and nutmeg and sprinkle this evenly over the top. Dot the pudding with 1 Tbs. butter.
Set the pudding in the roasting pan; if the hot water doesn't come halfway up the sides, add more until it does. Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the water bath. Serve warm.

Clifford Hudson, CEO of Sonic, said during the firm's investor meeting on January 4 that the company will roll out a new marketing campaign in the spring highlighting the concept's five daypart opportunities.
Hudson said the company is improving its creative strategy "to create a better alignment, as we would have historically … in a prerecession environment, for a multiple daypart strategy."
The company hopes the new strategy will kickstart growth for the drive-in concept, which has struggled to regain its footing since the recession. System-wide same-store sales for the first fiscal quarter of 2012 increased only .01 percent.
"More encouragingly, system same-store sales have been positive three of the last four months," Hudson said, adding that October proved a challenge for Sonic and that the company is growing slower than expected.
During the meeting, Sonic's president, Scott McLain, said the company anticipates opening 30–40 new stores in this fiscal year. The total number of stores currently stands at 3,555, he said. The company closed eight stores during the quarter, versus 23 compared to the same quarter the previous year.
Stephen Vaughan, Sonic's CFO, told investors that commodity inflation will continue to put pressure on margins into the second quarter, and that the company had locked in a beef contract through 2012. "We now have certainty for virtually all of our food and packaging costs, with the exception of cheese and ice cream mix," Vaughan said.
Hudson wrapped up the earnings report by saying the company is in a better position today than it was three years ago, and the firm's same-store sales growth remains the primary engine driving the business.
"For the remainder of fiscal year 2012, we expect to see sales volatility, and that will persist, given the economic challenges we confront," he said. "We're confident that improvements that we have put into place will drive results in our business during the current year and longer term as well."

Thank you for your reply. The informative testimonial on the Lapgards was in response to a previous article in QSR magazine on Kelton Research's drive-thru study focusing on messy fast food. This very important study served to educate and inform QSR franchisors and franchisees on a critical aspect of drive-thru customer service. My customers love it . Customer count, frequency of visits, expanded menu item sales, and per ticket totals have all increased and created a definite competetive advantage.For information contactWalter Blackshear[email protected]

You are now able to walk into our surgery and walk out with new teeth on the same day.
Using four dental implants to support a fixed bridge, you can have solid teeth that you don't need to take in and out to clean!
Richard Brookshaw BDS, M. Med Sci performs all the Same Day Teeth implants here in Lymm. Highly experienced in implants, Richard is an honorary teaching fellow for the Manchester University. He has an MSc in dental implantology and in the last three years, Richard has successfully placed over 1500 implants.
This patient replaced all of his failing upper teeth in one day using the all-on-4 technique, four implants are used to support a fixed bridge which is much easier to eat and smile with than traditional dentures.
Implants are very natural in terms of their look and feel- they are totally secure, leaving you to eat and taste the foods you want. In addition your jaw bones do not deteriorate in the same way as for many denture users, thus avoiding the 'sunken look' that some denture wearers experience.
The implants are placed in the gum, under local anaesthetic.
The titanium peg is then used as a 'virtual root' to which anything from a single tooth to a complete set of replacement teeth can be attached.
This new technique means new teeth can be attached on the same day.
Our on site technician allows us to customise the bridge without having to send it away to a laboratory, this saves time and means you are not left with any gaps.
To arrange your free of charge, no obligation consultation with our dentist please call 01925 398502 and speak to our reception team.
A severe phobia of the dentist due to a bad childhood experience meant that Carole Hardy would avoid visits to the surgery at all costs, she was petrified of sitting in the dentist's chair for treatment. Carole's dental health had slowly deteriorated and she ignored missing teeth and jaw bone.
After the sad bereavement of her husband, Carole decided that she could ignore this no longer. Explained Carole, "I gave up smoking eight years ago, but I'd completely lost my confidence and I hadn't smiled properly since I was in my teens. I always put my hand over my mouth!"
The treatment was carried out by Richard Brookshaw. He replaced the missing teeth with a system known as 'All-on-four'. It aims to reduce the amount of invasive surgery required to replace a set of missing teeth by using only four dental implants instead of the usual six to ten.
Using the latest Nobel Biocare prosthetics, within Carole was proud to leave the dentist's chair with a complete set of healthy and attractive teeth.
The procedure requires far less visits than conventional treatment and eliminates the need for dentures or long waits of three to six months to replace missing teeth.
After the treatment Carole said: "This has changed my life completely. I have more confidence and I can't stop smiling. Plus I can also enjoy the foods I love! I should have had this done years ago."
Interested to know if implants and same day smiles can help transform your life? Please call our reception team 01925 398502 to arrange your free no obligation consultation.
This patient was initially nervous about having her top denture altered to achieve fixed teeth in just a single day, but toward the conclusion of her treatment she was calm and talkative.
The Same Day Teeth team and Gavin have been excellent throughout my treatment. I was initially nervous about undergoing treatment, but due to the self-confidence and assurance the experienced team gave me I was able to go through this much needed treatment. The results have left me elated.
Thanks guys!

I'm falling apart at the seams.
Pull the stitches and I come undone.
I'm like a ragdoll with a glass heart
wasting tears on you and broken dreams.
Broken, crushed,
This feeling is an antique.
Leave me alone with all my thoughts
And watch me bleed out my emotions.
Thinking of you and dreaming of you
Is as close as I'll ever come to being with you.
And that's reality-sad as it may seem,
But I'm too stubborn to give up the ghost.
So, I sit here,
Crying for you
And dreaming of you,
In hopes of just talking to you.

If you have not heard of Jim
Brochu, and you love show biz, you must get to see "Character Man!" It is playing in a tiny theater on West 30th
Street only until March 30! Some of my
audience may remember me reviewing his one-man show, "Zero," in which he portrayed Zero Mostel and the many facets of
the life of this great actor, who suffered through the blacklisting era. Brochu, a big man, looked just like Mostel
and the show was fascinating.
Now, in "Character Man," which Brochu also
wrote, he is playing himself. His white hair neatly combed, dressed in grey
slacks, a navy blazer, red tie and pocket handkerchief to match, he doesn't
look anything like Zero Mostel. For one and one half hours without
intermission, directed by Robert Bartley, accompanied by an excellent pianist,
Carl Haan, he sings the songs of Broadway and tells the stories of many
character actors, but most particularly his dad's best friend, David Burns.
Burns, a Tony award winner for Best Featured Actor in "Music Man" and "A Funny
Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," was Brochu's mentor. Among his many roles, Burns
originated the part of Horace Vendergelder in "Hello Dolly" with Carol Channing, worked with Jackie Gleason,
and won kudos for his extraordinary performance in Arthur Miller's "The Price." He died of a heart attack
on stage in Philadelphia on March 12, 1971. (We saw this play on that
anniversary, March 12: an emotional time.)
Burns was a kind man and
arranged for Jim Brochu, when he was only 15, to sell orange soda at the Alvin
Theatre where "Forum" had
opened. This was the beginning of his love affair with theater. He could watch
the show, and hang out in Burns' dressing room afterward meeting and listening
to actors like Zero Mostel, Jack Gilford and John Carradine. What a thrill!
The most interesting aspect
of "Character Man" is Jim
Brochu's description of his father and their relationship. Brochu's mother died
from a heart condition when he was very young. His handsome, charming dad
raised him; although he was a raging alcoholic, especially on Friday nights,
Brochu faces this with love, without bitterness, as some might. Amazingly, his
dad dated Joan Crawford for several years!
Man" is a tribute to Jim Brochu's dad and
his best friend, David Burns, and to show business at its best done with humor
and love.

4846 Tasting Notes
I am finishing up the last of my Strawberry Matcha now. Somehow… this is THE BEST chawan-full of strawberry matcha to date! As I sip this, I am sad that my pouch is empty! The strawberry is much more pronounced here, the matcha is delightful.
And now… I am even more sad that my chawan is no longer full…
Dislike that chawan is empty. That's one of the saddest feelings in the world: gazing at the bottom of an empty tea cup.
I got this as a sample some time ago, but haven't tried it until today.
The aroma is very lavender, but, I like how the bergamot comes through. It has a really pleasing fragrance – more enjoyable to me than lavender or bergamot would be on their own.
The flavor is very nice. The bergamot and lavender are paired nicely here. Sweet, floral, sharp, citrusy… very nice!
A quick glance at my tasting notes from today, and you might think I'm on bit of a chai kick – first the Alberta Street Chai, then the Carnival (which has some spice to it but isn't "called" a chai, although I think of it as such), and now this. I didn't really plan it that way, it just happened that when I opened my cabinet looking for a black tea, this is the first one I happened across… and so I decided to try it.
I am glad that I have enough of this to try again, because I think that next time I am going to try it without the latte. Not that it's bad with the frothed milk (it's quite yummy!) but with the citrusy tones, I think I want to experience without it. ha! Even the description from Drink T says don't add cream. I like it with though…
This is a very good chai. The citrus and vanilla notes give it a really interesting flavor. The spices are very nicely done here – a little peppery, a little zingy, a little zippy… but not TOO much. It's like a little bit of a lot of spice, if you know what I mean.
When Sanctuary T offered their White Tea Brownies as a steepster select, I couldn't pass it up. But… I couldn't just buy the brownies. NO! Of course not. I also ordered the Sanctuary Sampler Kit, which is pretty cool. It's this neat chipboard portfolio, with the five teas taped to the inside, and index cards that offer information about the teas, brewing, etc. It also includes a small package of T-Sacs and bamboo skewers.
I don't really use T-Sacs, I have an abundant supply of them, since I bought them bulk to package samples of my own teas in, but, I don't use them for my own tea brewing very often unless I am doing a side-by-side type of comparison or something. I just prefer my smart brewing device. But… I must say that the adding of the T-Sacs and bamboo skewers is a clever idea especially for those who are new to tea, which is who this sampler kit is obviously created for.
Anyways… The brownies were absolutely to die for, and now they are gone… but I do have more on the way, because Sanctuary T did a very evil thing and offered the discount through this past Saturday. Of course, I'm going to order MORE if you do that!
Back to the tea. This is the first tea that I'm trying from the sampler kit. It smells so nice. Nutty and spicy. I love the smell of cumin and I'm thrilled that someone (besides me) puts cumin in their blends!
This has a very nice balance of sweet and spicy. There is an underlying smoothness to the taste too. Very nice. I like this one a lot!
I'll be on Alberta Street on Wednesday to attend an art class, so I felt that this tea was appropriate.
This is a good chai. Lots of rich flavor, and strong enough to withstand my brewing method and still be flavorful.
I like this a lot better than I thought I would after I bought it, and I decided to give it a few more points on the numeric scale.
Following mrawlins2 lead, I decided to brew some of this with just a pinch of Tippy Earl Grey from Golden Moon. The result is a completely different tea! I can't believe how different this tastes with the addition of so little of the Tippy Earl Grey. It's fantastic (of course, it was fantastic without the addition too).
This cup is creamy, custardy, strawberry goodness! YUM!
I was very nervous to try this tea. I have stood by the notion that I do not like green yerba mate for a long time now… and this is pure, fresh, unflavored and unfettered green yerba mate. I was certain I wouldn't like it.
But I was wrong. This is really refreshing. It tastes really good. It doesn't have that overly earthy quality that I normally associate with yerba mate. It isn't smoky. It is slightly sweet and just barely vegetative. Very pleasant. And invigorating!
Ali Shan is my favorite Oolong. I love it so much, in fact, that I bought a Yixing mug strictly for my Ali Shan teas.
I took out my gaiwan for this (yes, my gaiwan is becoming less a gadget and more an essential brewing tool). This is a really lovely Ali Shan. The flavor is rich – pleasing mouthfeel, although it's a little lighter (less) mouthfeel than in some other Ali Shan teas I've encountered. It's still quite nice though. Buttery. Floral. Only a hint of vegetation.
A very nice Ali Shan!

I've tried to figure out what is causing this unhealthy thirst for celebrity. I think a lot of it goes hand in hand with our obsession with acquiring material possessions and wealth. What faster way to put money in your bank and your child's bank account by making them a star? I also think there's a lot of parents with low self-esteem who are living vicariously through their children.

I miss the Gong Show, too. Just an incredibly messed up assault on the game show genre. Paul Reubens and Steve Martin both were contestants (although Mr. Martin was already well on his way to success). chuck Barris' "autobiography" 'Confessions of a Dangerous Minds' contends that he was a government spy/hit man while running the Gong Show, true or not the book is a hoot to read.ReplyDelete
Excellent piece, Pam--I've been thinking the same thing more and more, but maybe the trend is dying down. I just read that American Idol's season finale was their lowest rated one ever, and that show makes a good example. For all the great talent that appeared on that show in the last decade, how many achieved real, lasting fame?ReplyDelete
But it does seem like a lot of kids today not only want fame but actually feel they're ENTITLED to it. My 7 year old niece rehearses Taylor Swift songs in her room, not for fun but in preparation for her "big break". I love that little girl like none other, but I think the kid is tone-deaf!
If these shows were the worst than we would be in good shape. What about shows like big brother or beauty and the geek?ReplyDelete
I can understand that a person want to live their passion or their art, but how is it that the main passion today is fame?
Its not that kids want to be singers - they want to be famous....Its all part of the fast, throw-a-way culture we live in.
Pam mentioned Lindsay Lohan; she seems to be one of these people who is famous for no reason. What does she actually do? She made a couple of movies--not very good ones-- awhile back and the press treats her like a star. She is all over Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood.ReplyDelete
The reality and talent shows are on for one reason; they are cheap to produce. A bit like game shows in the 1960's and 70's, but at least those were fun to watch.
Regularjoe - I saw "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind." I enjoyed the movie; not so sure I believe Barris' claim to be a spy, but who knows. Kevin Spacey tried to get on the show as a stand-up comic.ReplyDelete
Doug - Thank you, and you raise a good point about how many American Idol winners are still in the regular spotlight today. I know Katherine McPhee is on "Smash" (because I love that show) but folks like Clay Aiken have become a joke. And sadly, that's true about kids having this convoluted thinking that they're entitled to fame. Hopefully your niece will find something else that she realizes she's naturally talented at.
Ruth - the shows I mentioned were listed because the post is about children wanting fame, but the adult reality shows like the ones you mentioned are no better.
JZ - Great point about these types of shows being cost effective to make. Why spend millions of dollars on a well made drama, when a network can have five reality shows on for the same cost? Re: Lindsay Lohan, she actually used to be a child actress and had some talent and potential at one point, but addictions got in the way. Now she's more famous for her downward spiral. Paris Hilton is another person whose fame really gets my goat--she isn't famous for anything.

Ho, ho, ho …. It's catalog time
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around our house.
Oh, we haven't gotten any decorations out or anything. We usually don't get around to even thinking about that until about Thanksgiving.
No, what looks like Christmas is the stack of mail-order catalogs accumulating in the recycling pile. The first sign of the approaching holidays is when catalogs start filling up the mailbox.
On Tuesday of last week, we got eight. They tend to arrive in bunches on Tuesdays. I suppose some marketing outfit somewhere thinks Tuesday is the best day to have a catalog arrive in the home. Anyhow, on Tuesdays this time of year, I feel sorry for our mail carrier.
We don't really buy a lot of stuff out of catalogs, but we get several magazines and I figure they sell mailing lists to marketers.
But we do buy a few things through catalogs or the internet because our gift giving (other than to each other) is to relatives who live a long way away. It's easier both on us and them to buy something from a catalog or an internet site that has a branch store near them – just in case they decide to return it.
That doesn't mean it's always easy, though. Take last Saturday, for instance. Jenny was trying to help Joe buy a birthday present for his father, who lives in Winston-Salem, N.C. His father had suggested he needed a new set of sheets and pillowcases, preferably in slate blue.
Sounds simple, doesn't it? She logged on to the internet for them to look, and soon became bogged down in information overload. There were dozens and dozens of sheet sets. When she found a set that she and Joe liked, she would check the customer reviews. How confusing.
One customer would say the sheets were wonderful, while the next would complain that they split after only a couple of washings. One catalog retailer's sheets were described by one customer as "durable, beautiful and comfortable," while another asked, "How many times do I need to wash them before they get soft?"
At another web site, a national brand of sheets marketed specifically to men got reviews ranging from good quality to "These sheets never get soft. I have tried everything and they still feel like sandpaper. They are horribly wrinkled when they come out of the dryer even after years of washing."
She finally told Joe they had to pick something and they ordered sheets. The only opinion that will count in the end is Joe's father's. But it does point up the problems with reviews online: First, are the reviews honest or concocted either by the retailer or a competitor? And second, different people like different things.
We had a much better shopping experience in downtown New Albany. Jenny saw a sale-priced bird feeder at In Bloom that she thought would make a nice present for her mother, who lives in Kentucky. John Hickey gift-wrapped it in paper and ribbon that looks more expensive than the bird feeder.
Then we strolled up Bankhead to Barbara Tyre, so Jenny could see what she had for fall. After a few trips into the dressing room, Jenny and Barbara had given the merchandise their own reviews, which she concluded was far more valuable than what strangers on the internet might say.
There's a reason to shop locally – and that's it.

3 Days in New York City
First Time in the City
Insider's Guide - Personal Favorites: NY, NY
This was the third place we tried for breakfast and was the worst. The food was cold and the plastic plates and cutlery both unecological and hard to eat with. The coffee was undrinkable.
Pizza was delish! Fast and friendly staff! Would recommend! They have a big menu, but I'm in NYC for pizza:) convenient location
Oxford Cafe is to be recommended for everyone who's looking for a traditional American breakfast with pancakes or sandwiches with freshly pressed orange juice and coffee. Our family loved the place and we kept coming back during our vacation in New York.
Good. Unusual for european people - but you can eat the combination of the breakfast. Long time opened.
Hi again! So! as you know I work in midtown, Oxford Cafe has been my go to place for 5 years and just now im writing a review, talk about late loyalty. There's plenty of delis and cafes around this area where you can stop, but what makes this place the whole package is the variety of food they have...
Our hotel supplied breakfast vouchers for Oxford Cafe, the breakfast was lovely and service was great.... Also tried their Salads which were amazing
Stopped here for breakfast one day, is pricey, but the menu is huge!! Literally anything you can think of is on there, and the portions are massive. I can eat, but I could hardly move after polishing off my breakfast.
Everything seems fresh, and the staff are helpful, making sure that everything is as you'd want it. I would stop...
I had breakfast there during 3 days. The pastries were good and the juices were great.
I would recommend also their sandwiches.
A likely place to stay or to go! It was very closer my hotel so every day we went there to have pizza and cold beer!
If you are in desperate need to lose a few pounds quickly, this is the place for you. Not sure what did it, if the cream of tomato soup or the wrap, but 30 minutes after eating here and I could not walk from the stomach ache. The rest I leave to your imagination. EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!

MSNBC's Chris Matthews went after socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) for how he intended to pass his left-wing, populist proposals in Washington during an at-times contentious interview Thursday night.
Sanders, who called himself an "outside-the-Beltway guy" in spite of being in Congress since 1990, repeatedly clashed with Matthews. The MSNBC host sounded like the Democratic candidate who's sought to portray herself as a pragmatist, Hillary Clinton.
The interview, held live at the University of Chicago, was part of the Hardball College Tour.
While trumpeting his call for tuition-free public colleges and addressing high student debt, Sanders said he knew the next question would be how he would pay for it.
"I haven't asked that. I've asked you how do you pass that through the Senate," Matthews said. "How do you get 60 votes for any of this?"
"We're going to pay for it through a tax on Wall Street speculation–" Sanders said.
"Who's going to pass that tax?" Matthews asked. "The Senate's going to pass that?"
"Chris, you and I look at the world differently," Sanders said. "You look at it inside the Beltway. I'm not an inside-the-Beltway guy. I am an outside-the-Beltway guy."
"But the people that vote on the taxes are inside the Beltway," Matthews said.
"And those people are going to vote the right way when millions of people demand that they vote the right way," Sanders said, touting his ability to rally young people and their parents to emulate European countries in this regard.
Matthews asked if Sanders could name one senator who would back any of his proposals, such as Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.).
"What you're not catching on, I have to say this respectfully, you're a nice guy," Sanders said. "You're missing the point, alright? If you look at politics today as a zero-sum total … you're right."
How will that change, Matthews asked, after Sanders listed off statistics like low voter turnout and the influence of big money in politics.
"We're going around in circles," Sanders said, as the two repeatedly talked over one another. He went back to his campaign message of starting a political revolution that would build the culture necessary to enact his socialist ideas.
"The difference that you and I have is you're looking at politics in the way that it is today," Sanders said. "What I am trying to do is not just pass legislation. I'm trying to change the face of American politics, getting working people to stand up and fight for their rights."
Matthews, still sounding the pragmatic tone, suggested the people who could propel Sanders into the presidency wouldn't be patient if he couldn't make good on his promises quickly.=

Coupons make for a thrifty transition to digital for broadcast and basic-cable households
Cut the coax, cable subscribers! For the millions of consumers who pay monthly fees just to get the good reception of cable TV, there is an alternative. New digital broadcasts juice your old TV with a DVD-quality picture. The government will even help buy the digital tuner needed to get those broadcasts. That leaves your one-time cost at $10 or $20 per TV, or about one month's charge for basic cable.
Millions of Americans across the country are cashing in $40 government coupons to score converter boxes. Most of the buyers already depend on broadcast, and they are usually pleased to find the shift to digital means a much better picture (although some need a new antenna).
| More from USNews.com:
• A Half-Dozen Ways to Get TV on the Go
• Digital TV Switch Is a Signal Not Received
• Testing a Digital Converter and Antenna
But the benefits aren't limited to broadcast homes. Digital broadcast not only offers great reception but adds channels that are available free. It can also offer a cable-style guide to what's playing on different channels and scheduled to play later.
A variety of the digital tuners can now be bought with the coupons. We didn't see much difference in picture quality or reception on a 27-inch, analog set. The distinctions are primarily in the remote control or other features, such as the depth of the programming guide.
Retail stores typically stock only one model. So we've checked out five to save comparison shoppers from driving from store to store:
($60) Available from Dish Network, and later from retailers.
Pros: It has the most comprehensive electronic programming guide of the bunch, offering a cable-style grid of much of a week's schedule, depending on data transmitted by stations. The box can be programmed to switch the channel at the right hour to enable a VCR to record a specific program.
Cons: Somewhat cluttered, odd remote with no dedicated button for changing channels and a volume control that runs horizontal instead of the usual vertical. The remote cannot control a TV, leaving users to juggle clickers.
($50) Found at Wal-Mart
Pros: One of the cheaper boxes that still does a good job pulling in stations. One of the easiest remote controls to handle, with a simple, clear layout and large buttons. Remote will control volume and power on most TVs. Will work with "smart antennas" that can change their position when necessary for better reception.
Cons: No remote button for the programming guide, meaning it takes extra button pushes to check the schedule. Pulling up the programming schedule also blocks the show that's being watched. Does not pass through signals from stations that will continue broadcasting in analog, such as religious and shopping channels. Box occasionally locked up, requiring a reboot.
Insignia NS-DXA1
($60) Found at Best Buy (Almost identical to Zenith DTT900 at Circuit City)
Pros: Clean, simple set-up, including a remote control that's preprogrammed for most TVs. Metal body gives it a sturdier feel. A bit better picture than other boxes, but the difference is unlikely to be noticed except in head-to-head comparisons.
Cons: Stripped-down programming guide that shows only what's playing on the current channel and what's coming next. Small remote that's cluttered with unnecessary buttons such as "sleep" for presetting a turn-off time. One of the larger boxes, substantially wider and longer than most others.
DigitalStream DTV9950
($60) Found at Radio Shack
| More from Yahoo! Finance:
• 10 Hot Summer Gadgets
• A Device That Fetches Your Groceries for You
• Gadgets Priced for Frugal Times
Visit the Family & Home Center
Pros: Compact, rounded design that's attractive. Remote control includes dedicated button for switching to analog reception. Remote also can control TV's power and volume. Stable operation with none of the lock-ups experienced with other boxes.
Cons: Extra buttons such as "audio" and "zoom" make the remote appear and feel cluttered. Simple programming guide shows only about a half-day's worth of upcoming shows on current channel, and no program information transmitted on switching to another station.
Philco TB100HH9
($60) Online stores (Almost identical to Magnavox TB100MW9 at Wal-Mart)
Pros: Striking white case distinguishes it from the otherwise black boxes in this roundup. Simple set-up routine. Unusual "still" button on remote that freezes the screen image, perhaps for jotting a phone number. Passes signals from stations still broadcasting in analog.
Cons: Ugly remote with tiny buttons and hard-to-read labels. No buttons on the box itself for changing channels or powering down. Switching to analog stations buried in a menu, and analog reception degrades if box is off.

Best to do list.
So. my N4 is finally shipping.
Hooray for me... I am currently using an iPhone, so I will be new to the world of android (specific) apps and am wondering what the good android alternatives are.
Must have repeating tasks. (repeasts every 5 days)
Is there anything out there that lets you set the preference for your tasks as to when they are due without you having to manually set it?
I currently use astrid, but when I go to create a task, I have to manually set it to be due next week, and repeat 3 days from completion... I would like it to do that by default for every new task I make.
