We all should've had a bowl of cornflakes to celebrate!

Oh that would be a treat. I got some cravendale milk today as well.

*arrives fashionably late*

Ah, 21 again. :flower:

Thanks everyone. There's nowhere I'd rather have a birthday than WP. :lol:


Cravendale, eh? Hmm, I've seen it but never tried it. I should give it a go.
I've cut right back on dairy because it piles on the pounds, so I use oat/plant based milk (currently hazelnut) for cereal and something called "MyCuppa" - it's also plant based and AFAIK soya, but it's really good in tea (currently Ceylon).

I used to have milk alternatives during my vegan years, and Hazelnut milk was the yummiest - tastes like ferrero rocher!

Cravendale doesn't have that horrible strong 'milky' taste to it. Thumbs up to Ceylon tea....it's so relaxing.

:lol: Yep, Ferrero Rocher - it's a really tasty drink.

I came off Assam (that stuff is strong enough to stand a spoon in it!) onto Ceylon which at first was like hot water, but I soon got used to it's subtle, gentle taste.
Another favorite is Earl Gray - but the good stuff: not the cheap versions supermarkets usually sell.

Assam is lethal!

Do you buy Tea pigs? Their stuff is smooth and clean tasting. Their Darjeeling earl grey is really nice. The strong one is far too strong for me.

Hah yes, Assam should come with a health warning. :lol:

I tried Teapigs once but I think maybe I chose the wrong one to start with (chai, IIRC) and it just tasted kinda metallic and chemically.

But I've just ordered some Earl Gray Teapigs (and was tempted by the strong version) so we'll see how that goes.
It has to be better than the "Tesco Finest" scented sawdust.
