Supposedly there are safe ways to make tea in the sun, but I have always done it the "old-fashioned" way. I'm now curious as to how on earth making tea from sun is dangerous? What's the principle behind that? Using the typical "Sun Tea" method the water gets warm enough to steep tea, but not hot enough to kill potential harmful bacteria which can spend hours multiplying in an environment that bacteria like. I don't claim to know what level of danger this poses -- I'm sure it depends on the bacteria that take up residence -- but tea making in this manner is not safest practice.

I started with pudding and had a 4-egg omelet and oven-baked "fries and carrots". And ketchup and vegan sour cream... a little less sparingly than usual.

Half a teaspoon split 21 ways) a pinch of salt, and some sweetened shredded coconut. They will be glorious!

Hmmmmm I find this fascinating, because Subway oatmeal raisin cookies only JUST came to the Middle East and are advertised as a brand new thing. So they lied to us?!

Been around forever in the US. I'm pretty sure I had them in my 20's. So, 20 years ago or so.

When I was a kid, we only had three flavors: chocolate chip, double chocolate, and white chocolate macadamia. Two new additions (something about raspberry and white chocolate and then the oatmeal raisin) only showed up in the last two years. What other flavors are they hiding from me??

Raspberry cheesecake - which are pretty darn good! - and frosted sugar cookie are all I can think of. I don't buy their cookies very often, though. I don't even look at the case when I walk by, too tempting.
