I'm a fan of the simple french press The responses for this are many:
It all depends on your outlook, I guess. |

Up till last week we were paying that much for a litre (basically 1/4 gallon). This week it's down to $1.15 per liter (so around $4.50 a gallon) the cheapest it's been for probably 3 or 4 years.

Master 6595 Rio Rancho, NM | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) Originally posted by laffinrock I like all of the Skratch flavors but match a is far and away my favorite. It's like having tea in your water bottle! That being said I think all of them have a tendency to settle so I do shake, or stir if hot, a lot.Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by laffinrock Originally posted by melbo55 *The tea drinker stands silently in the corner with her steaming mug of Earl Grey, trying to absorb bits of the conversation and hopes they don't realize she isn't one of them, not a coffee hound, and prays they don't turn on her, driving her from the pack pod, ostrascizing her for being the odd one out* Aw, honey. It's okay. I'll still talk to you. I'm multi-drinkual. I drink coffee, tea, chai, and hot Apple Cinnamon Skratch Labs. I even drink water on occasion. Re: Nancy's comment about coffee grounds, DH got an infuser mug from REI. It has a fine mesh filter built into the lid so you can brew your coffee or tea right in the mug and let it steep while you're driving or whatever. The only down side is that it just keeps getting stronger the longer you wait to drink it. He loves it though. The Matcha is good hot as well. You're welcome Hm. Something to consider. What does it taste like? I've been reluctant to plunk down $20 to discover I don't like it. Maybe I'll go ahead and get some, then give it to you if I don't like it. I do find that the apple cinnamon gets a weird slimy residue at the bottom. Does the matcha do that too? |

What if I say I can't stand the taste of it? I'm a tea girl, my favourite (yes this is how you spell it  ) is Twinnings English Breakfast, fresh brewed with a dash of milk and don't forget the sugar. I don't do coffee and tea might be more ridiculous. Might not be over the peanut butter comment either. |

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) So Mak chose a stroller run this morning (in 15-20 wind). It was a more strenuous workout than I had planned. Got on the trainer when home and did a shortened ride. Then my new pedals showed up and after J adjusting the cleats, Mak and I went for a short dirt ride to check them out. Not a bad day |

Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by laffinrock Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by mtnbikerchk Originally posted by popsracer that sounds like a great deal! I love my 810 - and the only reason I went with that over the 500 is for mapping. I swap it between my bikes all the time - super easy! On a related bike gear question, I've used a Cat-eye double wireless for years and it is approaching the end of its life. Buttons stick, auto pause doesn't work anymore, etc. I do not link to anything so just need good basics like speed, distance, cadence. Don't do power but would like something compatible for the future maybe. It has been forever since I've looked at what is available and am a little overwhelmed with the options. What do you think of about a Garmin 500? I found a bundle which includes speed/cadence sensor and heartrate for $199. Also, can this be easily swapped between by bikes? Looks like Mary found a 500 in the classifieds. Timely! Timely indeed. I was just talking with Alex about getting a better computer last night and stumbled across it this morning. Doesn't have a HRM but that's okay; I already have one. Guess I'll need to get a speed/cadence sensor. Given the price I got it for, I'm happy to shell out for that. Now I'm just hoping that he doesn't give it to the local guy who contacted him after I did... Yeah I wondered about that as well. So I was just playing with map my run and realized that the long santa fe run that I thought would get me about 10 miles downhill is only about 6 miles. Not as helpful for marathon training. Yippee!!!! I got the Garmin 500 for a really sweet deal!! I offered to throw in $10 for shipping so he wouldn't give it to the local guy. He said I got first dibs and he'd ship it priority mail for $5. It'll be on its way tomorrow. (throws hat in air and does a happy dance) |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) Originally posted by IndoIronYanti There would be a problem with that in our house now because there is no soy milk so you would have to have Almond milk, which might actually be worse. More than happy that you ate all of the ANZAC biscuits. I will need fair warning if you want them again because there is no rolled oats anymore either.

| 812 Katy, Texas | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) The sun is finally making an appearance here in Texas! Seems like the first time in weeks. Ok Manatees I need some mentoring on in workout nutrition. I have a 2 hour ride tomorrow, should I bring anything? What are some guidelines on when you need to refuel on several hours long workouts? Do I need to go buy those goo things or can I just bring a banana or something? |
