I discovered a delightful thing this morning--white tea is naturally almost decaf. And it has a lovely tea taste, a slightly smoky aroma that's miles away from too-sweet fruit and herb teas or tasteless decafs. I bought the White Peony and Silver Needle from Adagio, and hope that one cup in the morning will leave me still able to sleep.

Burmese food is pretty good, too. Very similar to Thai and Vietnamese, but not the same. My rice salad, for example, was topped with perfectly sauteed slices of garlic--crunchy like toasted sliced almonds, but with the taste of roasted garlic. Very yummy.
