Thursday TeaDay 12/9/10 December Food Preferences?

[Chip]

It is another happy happy happy TeaDay. Please stop in and share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Yesterday we discussed December TeaFlavors. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. December food flavors ... a little off the tea topic. Do you eat differently in December given the holidays many of us experience?

I am looking forward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone. Bottoms up!

[JBaymore]

Yes....... more "junk food". Cookies and candy. Not a normal thing.

[Jasmin]

Yes, but not because of the holidays. In Florida it doesn't get cold for a very long time. So I cram all the cold weather food into those couple of months. Stews and soups and roasts and stuff like that.
I'm drinking english breakfast tea with sugar and milk right now. Throws me back to my childhood

I definately eat differently, partly because of the holiday and partly because of the colder weather. More soups/stews but also more cookies candies and cakes. My step mom starts baking a little before thanksgiving and every week when i visit i get more stuff. I also get alot of goodies at work. I work at a hospital and starting in december all of the nursing/rehab facilities, patiets, doctors and vendors start showering us with junk food so it is very hard to resisst the temptation.

Earl grey de la creme again this morning.

Find myself wanting soups more; sweet things from my childhood such as Scottish shortbread, Turkish Delight, currant jelly, sausage rolls, mince & tatties.

A wonderful cuppa' this morning of MF Marco Polo, and a delicious slice of Apple Cinnamon Bread.

We work lots of OT during November and December, so quick thing to fix are what I mostly eat, including GASP fast food if I'm too tired to cook. I will also make soups/stews and throw in the freezer for later. Basically anything quick and easy.

Drinking Irish Breakfast tea today at work. Tonight it will be one of the holiday blends I have purchased from Adagio. Then an herbal with camomile just before bed so I sleep better.

[LauraW]

Yes, a bit. As others have said, more soups and stews for the colder weather, and more sweets, though they quite often are shared so i don't eat so many.

Fujian today. Going to the theatre directly after work, hopefully will get time before rehearsal for some tea, but i might not.

[entropyembrace]

definitely....more candy, more chocolate confections, more cookies....

more restaurant food since my gf and I finally have time together in the same place we go out a lot around the holidays

also for this year and last year...more Mexican food! Since I´m traveling to Mexico for the holidays

A slowwww TD on TC today.

Food has not changed much ... yet. But it will soon. Preferences however would likely be the norm such as sushi and sashimi ...

Great TD with the Mrs. beginning with Sencha 7132 brewed up in (formerly) Ambrose's "Shiggy" kyusu, so some excitement as well. Next up a gift TGY from IPT served up in fishy tasting sets. Then finished with matcha in a Cory Lum Chawan.

We don't have Christmas here, nor the candies and foods that go with it, so there's no difference to my diet during this season.

[geeber1]

Warm, savory things like soups and chili, pot roast, roasted chicken. But oddly enough, I have been craving green salads lately. I rediscovered an old Italian Dressing recipe and that has contributed to the craving!

Too late for tea now, but earlier I had a couple cups of Nilgiri Blue.

[Victoria]

Yes....... more "junk food". Cookies and candy. Not a normal thing.

+1 - A bunch of stuff at the office at this time of year. Not much change at home though.

Adagio's Jasmine Pearls the only tea for me today, busy day.

[nickE]

Yes to a degree. I do eat more cookies, pie, etc. this time of year. Eggnog is a seasonal favorite as well.

Tea today: Adagio Sencha Premier & 2010 Big Snow Mountain from YS.
