Fragile Bird Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Awwww, sorry to hear it - flu? cold? Eastern Europeans drink tea with lemon and spices, but years ago I saw this recipe in Prevention magazine for a cold mix I used to keep stored in a jar for consumption whenever winter sniffles appeared. I'd make a batch again, but I can't find Tang anywhere. http://www.prevention.com/health/healthy-living/black-tea-cold-and-sore-throat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an upper respiratory infection, and my ENT loaded me up with antibiotics and corticosteroids. Still, every time I reach for that Gatorade, all I can think is "Fire Retardant!" Thanks for that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hmmm, wonder if I look again - I've been looking for those foil packages Tang always came in.Sorry about the fire retardant, and now I can't ever drink Fresca anymore. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 For what it's worth, I think they stopped manufacturing Tang, so it'll be a little harder to get these days (maybe NASA has a stockpile you could raid?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably another orange powdered drink I can use in substitution for the tang.But, more important, what are you drinking? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenhair Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 FB, what are you drinking, sweetness? BLU-Ray just told us: Had Bulleit rye and Bulleit bourbon, now drinking Woodford Reserve and then going the fuck to bed.Whatever you're drinking, I hope it's better than my fire retardant.Eta: FB, I've also had a great deal of codeine cough syrup, so just ignore me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was drinking hot water with lemon, since I had an incredibly delicious, creamy Kilkenny at lunch that just wasn't going to be topped by anything else last night.

Picked up a package, now I'll mix that Prevention magazine concoction up, but without the powdered tea. You can't buy powdered instant tea in Canada for love or money, it's considered an abomination from hell. So I mix the rest of the ingredients and when I want some to drink, brew a cup of tea and add the mix to the cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm about to chill a variety of beer out on the balcony including some commemorative tallboys of Natty Boh for the Baltimore Ravens and some offerings from Six Point Brewery - Bengali Tiger, Sweet Action and The Crisp. The Natty Boh will be for the game tomorrow and the Six Point will be sampled this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the maid of woodlynne Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Sam Adams maple pecan porter - not nearly as interesting as I'd hoped. Good thing there are only 2 in the spring thaw sampler. Saving the Southern Tier imperial Pumpking for kickoff. Happy Superbowl Sunday, Westeros!

Antonius Pius Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm having the last bit of my Balvenie scotch. Might chase it down with some Karmeliet Flemish beer. Or I might pass out (there was more then enough left in the bottle before I decided to empty it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
