Short shameful confession

[larryhammer]

Even though Trader Joe’s Maple & Espresso Tea is not great at being either a tea or a coffee-flavored drink, not to mention horrible at having any maple flavor whatsoever, I nonetheless find it addictive.

Think I'll stick to Russian caravan........... :o)

[larryhammer]

A wise choice. Wish I had a ready source for that.

[rebeccmeister]

There are far, far worse addictions to have!

This one is hilarious.

[larryhammer]

There are. It still feels pretty shameful.

[oracne]

No shame! Drink it and be joyful.

[larryhammer]

Right. No shame.

(It's something my queer and poly teen characters remind each other a lot. Need to remember it applies to me, too.)

(Speaking of which, I need to return an opening line to you, one I absconded with years and years ago and finally admitted I needed to revise out.)

[oracne]

An AWOL opening line....

[larryhammer]

When I first broke up with NAME, a couple girls hit on me. I told the truth: "Sorry, can’t. Werewolf."

[oracne]

WOW that's old. WOW.

Also, WOW.

[larryhammer]

Yeah, oooold. And it's time to deal with it once and for all. It's a great line, but it really hasn't been fitting either the plot, the character, or the tone. Replacement: A high school cafeteria looks really different when you’re a werewolf.

[oracne]

Thaaat sounds like a very different story.

I have only had one cup of it so far. It's rather odd. I need to try it again.

[larryhammer]

“Rather odd” both understates things and is almost exactly accurate.

ETA: I'm curious what the result of further taste-tests is.

does it have a suitable amount of caffeine in it? i am at the stage of my life where i have to admit that i would like to drink less diet coke, but the caffeine is medicinal, so there are so many things that i can't replace it with.

[larryhammer]

It does! Around strong black tea levels (so less than espresso proper).
