The No Soft Drink Challenge
Froderik:
Gookin, I just made "cowboy tea" (as well as 'cowboy coffee' with finely ground blends, but i digress...) I used to go down and get the tea leaves from the Asian grocery store in Baltimore...green tea, black tea, i liked them both. I'd just throw the leaves in a tea pot or cup and let them settle. (That contraption you have looks like a good thing to travel with, though.) I got myself a wok, read some recipe books, and cooked stir-fried dishes with plum sauce, etc. I guess you could say it was an interest for a while..
I really have no desire for soda, but if coffee is a vice I'm a goner.
Inculcated:
When I first read it, I had silently wished all participants well, while deciding to opt out.

Now I’ve been home with the flu and have slept through thirty of the past forty-eight hours. I’ve decided that since the caffeine withdrawal symptoms would be indistinguishable from my current condition, I might give going without my 591.470591 cc regimen of Dr. Pepper a try. I’m drinking rooibos right now and I can augment with B-12 and green tea capsules as needed.
This might actually suck worse than transitioning to valerian root, but we’ll see.

Just a slang (used in reference to coffee only, really) for brewing without a filter.. just simmer and let the grounds (this works better when they are finely ground) sink to the bottom...
Che Gookin:
No soft drinks as of yet..
but god damn.. I'm craving a coke something fierce today.. Got these pangs for eating something sweet as well. Might go get some frozen yogurt or something to stave em off.
