mayogi Iced tea is sooooo good! I haven't had that for a long time now. I like iced coffee too, with lots and lots of crushed ice, it's almost like a slush puppie. Oh, I haven't had one of those for years! I think I'll make some this weekend. Thanks for the idea!

mayogi Yes, you're right. Tea is known to improve your health, specially green and white tea. Do you drink a lot of tea? I do..... Maybe too much. I guess that's not good, no matter how healthy that is.

mayogi Ok, then I like white coffee too. *lol* In Spanish we have an expression to describe it - "leche manchada", "stained milk".

mayogi I understand you perfectly well. Morocco is so different, it can be heaven and hell at the same time and all you can do is go with the waves. I love it here and I don't think I'd ever move away. Ok, maybe back home to Spain.... But then I'd be coming back here...

mayogi ooops, I just found it! It doesn't show until you click on "Not a US resident". So now my account information is updated and I just have to wait until I get my first payment (like in 3 or 4 months from now....).

mayogi Ok, so then you have a lot to learn. *lol* Since you came by ferry from Spain there is only one Moroccan city and that's Tangiers. There are 2 Spanish cities in the north of Africa, Ceuta and Melilla, but they are not Moroccan. Casablanca is a very famous...

mayogi Do you drink coffee when you want to go to sleep? Oh, that's strange. People usually drink coffee in order not to sleep. *lol* You know what, you're not the only one.... If I don't want to fall asleep i have to have my coffee about 10 hours earlier, because it...

mayogi The bad thing about both coffee and tea is that they are diuretic, so we all should drink a lot more water, specially if we're "addicted" to tea or coffee. Or at least that's what I've been told.

mayogi What is white coffee? Like coffee with milk or something totally different? I like coffee with cream, white chocolate, white chocolate syrup and cream. That's DELICIOUS!!!

I'm curious about how many people have actually TRIED the stereotypical "yucky" foods. I know that when I was a kid certain foods were "yucky" even though I never actually tried them. Broccoli, liver, prunes, spinach, cauliflower,...

mayogi I think you're right! Over-cooked vegetables are nowhere close to tasty. You have to know how to prepare them so they are "al dente", like the Italians say about their pasta. Done but not over-done.

mayogi Raw Brussel sprouts? I didn't know you could eat them raw..... I haven't had them grilled either, but that sounds really good. I wish I could get Brussel sprouts around here but I've never seen them on the market. That's a pity....

mayogi You can add broccoli to salad. *lol* That's a great dish. Salad is so much more than just lettuce. You can add basically almost anything to a salad.

mayogi You're welcome. :-) When you buy ink for your rubber stamps look for acid free and archival safe inks. As far as I know the embossing powders are acid free but just in case, only buy a well known brand and ask in the shop, just in case. I've heard that...

mayogi My favorite song at the moment is "Relax". It reminds me in some odd way of The Cure, I don't know why.... *lol* I really do think Mika is the best artist around at the moment and he has a wonderful voice. Not many singers can go that high. *lol*
