It has been mighty cold recently in the Bay. Look how close the snow is! If I didn’t tell you this was Walnut Creek, you’d probably think you were somewhere in Canada.
It’s also appropriate that the Safeway truck got in the picture because I was on my way there to do a pricing survey. I’m getting a new work laptop and I had to send my old one back to get the data transferred so right now I am computer-less. Hopefully it will be back tomorrow, but in the mean time, I have nothing to do. It’s a very weird feeling. Kind of like a Saturday, but not really. I felt a little better by working on the pricing survey.
While at Safeway, I bought a Grande Joy Tea from Starbucks for $1.85. See here it is on my “desk”
I sort of feel like tea at Starbucks is a rip off. I never thought about it until now, but they just stick tea bags in hot water. I felt I got a slightly better bang for my buck eighty five because they asked if I wanted 2 tea bags, so I said sure. lol. Have you also ever noticed that all teas taste the same?? I got the Joy tea and I’m not sure what makes it a seasonal special because it kind of tasted like every other tea I’ve ever drank. According to the website it says
Tazo Joy is a delicate yet full cup, created with some of the finest varietal teas available. Rare Darjeelings and Formosa Oolongs are paired with light-bodied, fragrant Nuwara Eliya teas from Ceylon. Yunnan teas from the high plateaus of Southern China and Southern India Nilgiris add texture and complexity. It’s a very special tea to share freely with friends or selfishly hoard by yourself as an exceptional holiday treat.
I couldn’t taste much after my tongue was scalded with the first sip. I came home and added some vanilla soy milk to cool it down and creamy it up. I don’t think I’ll be getting this one again. However, the Gingerbread Latte and Cranberry Bliss Bar gets the thumbs up from me.
Hey, when is my espresso machine going to get here??
