Green Tea

I think Kimmie, our fabulous link keeper, and most of my tea friends who live in the northern hemisphere would agree there isn't a lot of green to see lately, especially this last week in February. Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I picked up some greens. No, not those kinds of greens, but a pear and an avocado. Actually, I picked up several of both. I was so hungry for this combination, that I immediately came home and made some green tea from China called "Lung Ching Dragon Well," and enjoyed it with my "greens."


Yesterday's lunch was at my dining room table. I was pleased with this combination, to which I added some Chinese Cream Crackers from the Oriental market. I ate every bit of my meal while sipping this delicate green tea.

I truly adore winter pears. They are the best and filled with dietary fiber, as well as Vitamins C and K. And avocados are known for their anti-inflammatory benefits, especially for persons with problems involving arthritis. So greens truly are possible, as well as healthy, even though it is "sort of" winter in my part of the country. I hope you have a green (or even green tea) kind of Tea Tuesday.

Tonight my friend Sally and I are going to a new steak house. Her idea, of course. Not the best choice for a vegetarian like myself who is trying to eat healthy this year. Let's just hope I can stay away from the very fattening and artery clogging french fries I love to eat when I go to one of these places.
