    Talking I tried something new today.

    I was at Wal-Mart last night. had to get a few groceries. I was going down the ethnic aisle, looking for barley. I can never find it..lol. Anyway, in the Italian section I came accross(is that spelled right, it doesn't look right..lol) Orzo. It was on sale $1.50. I'd heard of it before as a coffee alternative. And said, well I'll try it.

    So I get to the till, and it scans at $1. Perfect, even better. This morning, I run the directions through Babelfish(I cant read Italian). And made some. It's more bitter than coffee, so I know next time 1 tbsp for the pot will suffice. But I enjoyed it! I love coffee, but caffeine sensitive, even the decaf bothers my tummy. Cafe d'Orzo is caffeine free. It's roasted Barley. It's a little different flavor. I compared price, it's approx 1/2 the cost for the weight as the geneirc coffee, but 1/4 of the cost per cup as I can use less Orzo to make it than I do coffee.

    It is healthier for me too Gotta like that. So when I do groceries this weekend I'll get a few more boxes!

    I thought the same thing. I was thinking that pasta wouldn't make good coffee LOL
    “When you get to the end of all the light you know
    and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
    faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
    you will be given something solid to stand on,
    or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller


    “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
    there are signs that the world is speedily
    coming to an end;
    bribery and corruption are common; children no
    longer obey their parents;
    every man wants to write a book and the
    end of the world is evidently approaching.”
    — From a translation of an inscription on
    an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to know the difference    .
