I drink both tea and coffee and enjoy both- Yes, it is definitely possible to develop a discriminating pallette for tea. There are many varieties of tea-oolong/green/black or red tea/white/pu-erh tea/scented/herbal I have been drinking tea for the past 2 years and have broaden my knowledge base as well as my taste buds- so many countries and types to choose from- if any one would like some suggestions on on to begin your tea experience- bibliography, online wbsites-etc i would be happy to share my knowlege- just ask Joanne

My son and I finished a bottled of Chas. DuBoeuf 2003- very good-

I drink both tea and coffee- I appreciate the separating tea and coffee out as a special group of its own- I will be traveling to Fort Lauderdale and would like suggestions/recommendations for tea! Joanne

what did you have?

I guess I am a little old fashioned but I did not appreciate the bunny cup- and I do not post here to get offended!!! I have a variety of tea cups and coffee cups- several of which can be found on www.allteapots.com my favorite cup is the butterfly from franz porcelain and also losmonov cobalt net teamaker that can also be used as a coffee cup-

Besides drinking tea- I also drink coffee- I use a Krups blade grider and brew coffee using mellitta filer cone and paper

I have eaten at Kretien but there are also several other restaurants on Palisade Avenue- I live i n Teaneck so I also recommend many of our town's restaurants- I especially enjoy eating at East -a Japanese restaurant There are kosher restaurants on Cedar Lane which close for Shabbos(Friday nite at sundown to Saturday). They are open late Saturday nite. On Queen Road is Hatikvah an Israeli Restaurant which has great Mid-Eastern Food. There is also Palisade Park-Broad Avenue where there are many great Korean Restaurants. Joanne

Christian's Continental Cuisine I stopped by this new restaurant in Teaneck this afternoon- 368 Cedar Lane I picked up a menu-the place was empty- I don't think they have been doing well-not enough publicity- The waitress said they were changing the menu next week and adding venizo, rabbit,etc Has any one eaten here- there were 6 main entrees dry aged ny stip steak au poivre seafood bouillabaisse pan roasted veal chop semolina crusted grouper australian herb crusted lamb rack sauteed french cut chicken breast salads boston bibb baby field greens with tomato classic caesar salad

My son and I just came back from Montreal and a short tent camping stay in Schroon Lake-we only spent one evening in the city- We did eat at Rosalies's and had a wonderful meal- Sunday evening, I had their tomato soup, crab meat salad and oysters- My son had the seared salmon- Without wine the bill came to over $130- We sat outside and people watched, etc. It was noisey but fun anyway. The service was good-attentive We stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn on Peel-It was one of the few places available without reservations for under $125 usd Our main purpose for our trip was shopping but unfortunately, all the stores were closed on Labor Day-a good reason to return again.

I have not tried their falafel- tomorrow i am going to go to the pizza cove for lunch- joanne

I usually eat at Chicken Kebab- I order the salad plate, pita, and sometimes spinach boreka- The sides are not overly spicy(I think the they need some spicing ) and stuffed grape leafs are home made. I have not tried the other two but I will ,so I can compare them. joanne

I am happy that Balthazar Bakery has made an apology- I did call the Health Department on Monday to explain what happened on Saturday- The health inspector read the report to me and I of course was very satisfied that any violations were minor and were fixed. She also explained to me some of the problems that businesses have when they open a retail shop in conjunction with a place of manufacture- Credit should also be given to the Engllewoodwood Health Department- My purchases were delicious and I will return Joanne

balthazar outlet bakery had appeared in the record health checks- first conditional and then satisfactory- i was there this afternoon and bought some bread-white sourdough, pain au chocolat, and baquette- i decided to ask why they were on the list- one of the owners-don't know his name a gentleman with irish brogue came out from bakery and very nastily told me i didn't have any right to know why they had made the list- he refused to tell me what the violations were besides something to do with large doors- he said it was none of my business-i told him it was and he refused to answer any more questions- i had already paid for my items otherwise i would have left-i will not return there were no other customers in store- joanne

i have found my favorite iced tea - rishi-tea www.rishi-tea.com rose melange blend which includes white tea, roses, peppermint and lavender- (the company changes blend so read label) the fragrant leaf-www.rishi-tea.com rose bouquet-this is basically the same tea different company- the rose fragrance is not overpowering and the peppermint gives tea a refreshing taste. i enjoy this tea also hot- rishi teas can be found at whole foods in edgewater, nj joanne
