still on food and drink

unfortunately discovered one exam day back in law school.  The machine was
out of my usual Dr Pepper, so I opted for the mountain dew.  20 minutes
into the exam I was having a nervous breakdown from the overdose of
caffeine.  Terrible stuff!!  I've since gone caffeine-free (for 10 years
now)."

No caffeine? Is that possible?

I have cut down on the amount I take, but like tea too much to take it out
completely (use various different leaf teas so de-caf. is not an option).
There was a time where I was drinking about 10 cups of tea a day and that
was when I was using my pint mug. Now only have three / four cups a day and
am using a much more respectable 3/4 pint mug (note I am working in UK
pints - can't remember if US pints are the same).


Me: "How can one cope without ones breakfast cup of tea?"
Ben: "Now I see why you were so irritable the other day..."

That was because I was ill. The tea, or lack there of, had nowt to do with
it.


Ben: "My mouth is watering at the very thought of stilton and digestives
(though perhaps also 'cos it's nearly lunchtime...) excellent with port
too.  I have some port, bring me the cheese!"

Stilton is nice. Can you send the port over please? Had it in a Stilton and
pork pie salad tonight.


Ben: "(tomorrow though.  Pancakes with ham and [some soft cheese beginning
with M that I can't spell] for dinner tonight.  If snow doesn't stop people
getting around that is)"

I am having my pancakes later. Have got mangoes, cream and Greek yoghurt
and intend to make some kind of fancy desert for a few friends and myself.
I also believe that someone has some Canadian maple syrup. Don't like the
stuff myself, but it would be a good addition to the planned desert (layers
of pancakes, mango and cream).


Me: "I am in now and am not a serial killer."
Ben: "But then he would say that wouldn't he?"

You've met me. You are still alive. Hence I am not a serial killer. Totally
flawed logic I know, but it will have to do!
