It’s was actually used my me years ago to vaccinate our goats. Quit when doing an IM injection in the hind leg of a goat when we had a tremendous flash/boom over head. She jumped breaking the needle off. Couldn’t get it out and she lived a long life with it.
Anyway we retired this thing with the other instruments of the inquisition
Still can’t find the grinder, looking to buy one. I did find a treasure trove of foil wrapped Earl Grey tea bags. Just had a nice cuppa
I have a little bit of a museum of 'betes artifacts stored away. But I can’t find a lot of the stuff, like the pen BG meter from the '80’s. That was my favorite.
If you can get rid of the horrible bergamot taste (or is it chamomile) it’s just fine. I do drink it sometimes, when I’ve run out of everything else and it is sufficiently aged.
Earl Grey tea is like licorice and Scotch whisky. Either one likes it or abhors it. I happen to like all 3 although I seldom have alcoholic beverages anymore. Never was much of a drinker.
In my teenage years my friends would drink themselves stupid. I would end up driving them home - in their car, no vomit in mine.
Very cogent. I don’t dislike bergamot (though maybe I do chamomile I just abhor it being mixed with black tea. It is, indeed, abhorrence not dislike and abhorrence is certainly cultural; I have little sympathy for the idea that certain foods should not be mixed together so I can’t claim that argument.
Like in taste; Assam, every day without fail, Earl Grey, nope. Liquorice yes, in moderation. But not Scotch; I’ve been through much learning and originally I did not like Lagavulin at all. To this day I do not care much for the blended whiskys but offer me a malt, or a good whiskey, and I will rarely refuse (well, depends who the designated driver is.)
Someone somewhere mentioned there’s a Lady Grey. I found it and it is quite nice. Like Earl the Lady has bergamot but also lemon. As I always liked lemon in Earl Grey this is a win win for me.
