Kombucha. It's like drinking tea farts.

It's one of those 'health' trends that caught fire a few years ago. Not sure if it caught on outside the U.S., although I think it has ran its course here and people are on to the next (gluten free? keto? CBD - everything?).

It was supposed to be good for 'gut health' and have probiotics and other some such healthy shit.

I have a box of Yorkshire Tea hidden in my desk at work, because I refuse to put it in the lunch room and let others at it. They can have Tetley Orange Pekoe, while I have the good stuff.

Sidebar: It's hard AF and expensive to buy GOOD British Tea in Canada sadly.

A local Walmart has a 'UK Foods' section loaded with what various people who would know the difference tell me is GOOD British tea.

Yorkshire Tea is entirely superior - QT, you've gone up even further in my estimation!

(Joking aside, it's a very strong tea largely aimed at hard water - so I can accept it's a bit much for some!)

I did manage to persuade some Americans once that Yorkshire tea was grown in Yorkshire and my family owned vast tea fields...

I LOVE me some strong tea. If I have a weaker tea brand I will let it endlessly steep to get it as strong as I can. So Yorkshire tea is my jam.

Someone told it to me at work and I passed it on.

Thanks for the source.

Yoga with Adriene on YouTube. It is the perfect antidote to a home based desk job. Do you think she needs a new best friend? She could join my crew with Jonathan van Ness and Tan France. We would have THE BEST time.

Never thought I'd be happy for a Pommy win in the Rugby Union ... but when it's over the Ull Blecks in a WC semi - that's acceptable.

Suck shut, bro.

"It could have been even better for Jones and Co too — after England had two tries controversially disallowed."

Yeah, nice to see it didn't go to the "Ull Blicks are a protected species" script the refs usually work from this time. I guess without Ruchie McCaw being there to serenade the ref for 80% of the match (the other 20% spent being offside at the ruck) they just couldn't talk the ref around enough to make a difference to the final result.

My wife made the first batch of chili of the fall season. She thinks its disgusting that I eat mine with a peanut butter sandwich and dip it in/use to mop up the chili.

Is this just a local thing or do others around the world do this?
