    Mrs T, good work! I have been trying to follow some of your guidelines. I just can't bring myself to drink green tea though...

  2. Gina,

    Thanks for the encouragement! It's neat to know that you are trying to stay on track in some of the same areas. As for green tea, have you tried Candy Cane Lane? It's one of Celestial Seasonings' holiday teas and should be appearing in stores any time now. (I keep a stash on hand.) It's a decaf green tea with peppermint, vanilla, and a touch of orange. Delicious. Some of the Lipton Superfruit green teas are pretty good, too. Hope you find one that suits you!
