I’m weaning myself off of the coffee. Day 1: it’s not so bad. I have made a very nice (and very large) cup of tea. I drank that most of the day and felt fine. Barely touched my one cup of coffee. This is going to be easy! Day 2: Another very large cup of tea. Half a cup of coffee leftover from yesterday’s pot. Felt annoyed at 4pm. Went to bed at 8:30pm, suddenly exhausted. Day 3: Woke up with brain cramps, sore eyes, no desire for tea at all. My running buddy says quitting coffee is physically harder than quitting painkillers. I wonder if I should try them instead. Through the haze I am making my tea anyway. Wife put on a pot of coffee. The temptress seduces!!

@PyresMagicka Wishing you the best. It's hard to quit. Sounds like you're getting through it. You've got this.

Quit? QUIT? Blasphemy! Are you people bereft of sense? How can you forgo the pleasures of the dark nectar in flavour of the Grey and bland? Nothing can surpass the joy of tranquil waters poured over the roasted and grinded, pooled in a mug representing Civilization itself. Fire up the Breville!

@BWoostersauce @SweetNovember48 I don’t stick out my pinky for nobody. I don’t even have any pinkies anymore. I ate them, hoping there might be some remnants of coffee grinds under the fingernails.

@PyresMagicka @BWoostersauce You and Bertie crack me up 😂

@SweetNovember48 @PyresMagicka Thanks. Turns out my first name is Ian as well. Suspicious, isn’t it?

@BWoostersauce @SweetNovember48 My name isn’t Ian, that’s a pen name. My actual name is Bertrand (but my friends call me Bertie).

@PyresMagicka @SweetNovember48 You’re killing me…

@BWoostersauce @SweetNovember48 Wait until you hear about the sauce I make from woosters (I have a lisp).

@PyresMagicka @SweetNovember48 Salty, I should expect. We will have to get a ruling from Denna.

@BWoostersauce @SweetNovember48 Is the sauce…

@PyresMagicka @SweetNovember48 WTH is umami? I’m such a chef that I don’t know this. Sounds like a cross between a Singapore noodle and Italian meat.

@BWoostersauce @SweetNovember48 Umami is savory. It’s the richness that comes from beef stocks, adding anchovy to your base marinara sauce, fish or oyster sauce to your Vietnamese or Chinese dishes.

@PyresMagicka @BWoostersauce You two are awesome!

@SweetNovember48 @PyresMagicka “We are here until Thursday. Try the veal.” - every Catskills comedian

@BWoostersauce @SweetNovember48 We aim to please. You aim too please!

@PyresMagicka @BWoostersauce You definitely pleased 😊
