Tea

I like tea. Hot tea. Iced tea. Tea in the morning, afternoon and night. If you got tea, you got me! (HA--how about those rhyming skills?) Truth is, I am a coffee junkie. That will certainly be an Andy Locke Likes post one day, for sure. But after a cup or two of coffee, I'm done. Unless I pop a Tums with every other sip, I can't handle anymore coffee than that. However, in the winter, or these chilly days of late March, I still would like a hot beverage when my coffee mug runs dry. Enter tea.

My favorite flavor of tea has to be mint. If you find yourself dragging in the late afternoon, say 3:30 or 4:00 PM, and you know the last thing your stomach wants is acidic coffee, try mint tea. Whether it's caffeinated or caffeine free, the mint aroma can awaken you from any post-lunch drag you find yourself in. And if mint isn't your style, try green tea with its anti-oxidants or the trusty old stand-by--black tea with lemon (well-known cure for sore throats, too). And if you're feeling extra brave, try some Mr. T.

On the flip side, iced tea may be the best beverage to accompany any Sunday dinner. The greatest iced tea mixture while growing up was at my grandparent's house (everything is better at grandmom and grandpop's, am I right?) Even to this day, my grandmom has the best iced tea and I won't have anything else when having dinner at her house.

Tourney Update: So I went 3 for 4 with my picks yesterday (Pitt is lucky to have won). Of course, the only game I have my eyes intently on is Oklahoma-Syracuse Go Sooners!.
