This might cause nightmares to some of the older T1s​😈👹🤣 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/0/034c940f57afe0fcd226fcf15024bc33e6a4a57c.jpeg) 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​😀 ---

That’s really cool looking! 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. ---

Just had a nice cuppa​ 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. ---

It’s bergamot. My sister in law hated it we like it. \*de gustibus non est disputandum In matters of taste, there can be no disputes ---

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. ---

> [@CarlosLuis](#): > > Either one likes it or abhors it. 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. I think I put the kettle on.
