YEA, it is Friday's version of TeaDay!!! Fridays are usually hopping on the TeaDay forum. We hope today is no exception.
So, stop by as much as you can and share a cup with all of us, we never close. See what everyone is drinking and tell everyone what you are drinking!!! It's fun to see what everyone is drinking.
While you are here, remember to vote in today's TeaPoll submitted by Newbie2tea, Thanx again Newbie!!! Remember to submit Poll suggestions by PMing me.
OK, I can relate here...today's TeaPoll question is whether drinking tea ever causes you to miss a meal or simply forget to eat.
This opens up a lot of discussion possibilities such as does tea help you lose weight, is it an appetite suppressant...or do you simply enjoy your tea so much that you just forget about eating...etc!!!
So, have fun with this discussion.
And have a great TeaDay TeaChatters!!!

This morning Yunnan Golden Tips and Kaburagien's Hand-rubbed sencha.
I never skip meals. I have tea before meals, after meals and often during meals of course. Sometimes a meal can be delayed by a gongfu session.
For me tea isn't an appetite suppressant, on the contrary. Moreover tea brewing is very similar to cooking and the more you appreciate good quality tea, the more you appreciate good quality food and the more you want to experiment with new recipes.

Opening todays teaday with some Yunnan black buds, this tea never fails.
My mailman failed me again, still no Uji Gyokuro Yume no Ukihashi and Sencha Miyabi in my mailbox
I don`t think I`ve forgot to eat because of tea. Actually, a good cup of tea increases my appetite, all those tastes. I can postpone some meals though if I`m in the middle of a Gong Fu Cha session.

Real quote "It is better to be deprived of food for three days than for tea for one" Chinese Proverb(the Chinese know that they're talking about!) I think I went once without a meal because of tea.tseirPsaduJ wrote:"It is better to go three days without food, than one without tea"
I don't guarantee that is quoted properly but you get the general idea
Starting today with some Rum tea, I can't believe it's almost gone! I'm also patiently waiting for the samples that Victoria's Own sent me of Oolongs. So I'll have some of those later.
I have a tendency to get distracted and forget to eat if I am not overly hungry. Tea makes that worse occasionally.
This morning is starting with a green anji. Later this afternoon, I am going to try something interesting at the Teaosk on the way home. They sell fresh brewed loose tea out of a tiny stand in the middle of a huge mall. It is mostly Harney & Sons teas, which are pretty good.

Ohhh I am quite smitten with Harney & Sons Paris blend. A "Teaosk" sounds cool, have fun!Cinnamonkitty wrote: Later this afternoon, I am going to try something interesting at the Teaosk on the way home.

The package from Victoria came! The Orange Blossom, from Chado, smells really good. She even sent along some green tea, Sky Between the Branches, from the Republic of Tea, and perfume. As for the other oolongs I got peach and ti kuan yin goddess, from Adagio, and milk oolong from tea cuppa. So many choices I don't know where to start!
I am having some Keemun black right now, which I haven't had since sometime over the summer. It's pretty good, I think I like it more than Lapsang Souchong.
I think I might have skipped a meal because I was drinking too much tea, but only because I had milk and sugar in my tea and that kept me full until I ate. Bad habit though, to skip meals. I prefer cooking my meal with tea, so yum yum yum.
I'm loading up on black and oolong teas today cos I'm going out dancing laterzzzz...need my energy

Yesterday was travel day and I had very little tea -- a travesTEA. Today at the hotel, I have a microwave, a coffee pot (I'm not using that) and a refrigerator. Plus my 4 oz stash of chocolate tea and my 12 oz Xiu Xian Tea mug. The only tea in this place is Tazo (Zen and Calm -- like I need that at a convention?) 
Terribly dehydrated nonetheless. Drinking some tea. Today I'll be doing homework. Tonight I'll be doing the con thing at http://www.Radcon.org.
