During my time at Newsweek, it seemed like someone’s birthday treat celebration came up every few days. We were either eating cupcakes or ice cream cake or grocery store cake maybe three times a week.
Trying to eat healthy was somewhat of a struggle.
Now at Deseret News, the food editor makes lots of test kitchen recipes that she shares with us. And today we get an extra special treat — promotional 50-piece chicken nuggets from McDonalds, on the house.
Though macaroons and chocolate desserts have swayed me from my detox diet, thankfully, the scent of those chicken nuggets could never. But for all who are curious, food editor reviews: “Hmm! They aren’t as rubbery as I remember.”
There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea. — Bernard-Paul Heroux

Maybe that quote is going a little far, but I sure have been drinking a lot of herbal tea lately — so much that I make a visit to the ladies room maybe 13 times a day — and I believe that the stuff has some definite life-enhancing power.
It might not be the tea itself, but the act of drinking, taking time to sip-sip-sip, is quite satisfying.
Piping hot, tea cannot be gulped or guzzled. Tea gives you time to ponder. And when you’re in good company, tea gives you time to chat. And when you are destraught, tea gives you time to think it out. And when you are cold, tea warms you up.
Tea is a cozy wintertime buddy I think everyone should befriend.
Then, with that friend in common, we could all come around the table and sip our Bengal Spice, our Peppermint or our Wild Sweet Orange, diminishing our troubles.
You write one article, and everybody assumes your an expert on whatever the topic may be … with that said, my articles on comic strips and thyroid problems have garnered up some quite entertaining responses. Such passion.
