Who knew!
I barely sweat. My dad does t sweat either. So we dont loose heat fast enough. Summers are miserable for us.

As Shiro tells it, in Kentucky the sweet tea they make is a supersaturated liquid; they heat it up, keep adding sugar until the near-boiling liquid can't contain any more, then let it cool to supersaturation.
How anyone could drink such a substance is beyond me. Of course, I don't even care for sodas because I find them too sweet.
And yes, I take my coffee "Freehold Style": Strong and black.
genial and open, but with a powerful burst of intense flavor deep inside, thats me.

Jasmine tea is drunk without milk and sugar. Also the sort of thing you'll get in Chinese restaurants here.
If you wanted a green tea with milk and sugar, you should be going for this.
But my opinion is that if you do that it loses its ability to help you digest better, since the milk makes you full.
*Looks at Mort doubtfully and wonder if she's been "digging into" the catnip again…Tea without honey and milk?! shakes turtle head. Scowls and makes a 'Yuck' grimace at the mentioning of green tea*

Nope it really is true here. Chinese tea. Now what sugar?
However, when sipped as a daily beverage, Chinese people tend to use a special personal tea bottle, in which water is allowed to infuse with tea leaves for hours, and sipped continuously. This method, which is more prevalent in day to day Chinese life, involves the repeated use of the same tea leaves throughout the day.
So yeah you brew the tea all day long.

For me its more like tea with honey and milk is...?! Though Gong Cha serves black tea with milk and sugar, while adding tapioca pearls, cold and call it pearl milk tea.
Though when I was a kitten I used to take English tea with sugar, then gradually I cut the sugar, and now i take without sugar. I find that sugar actually hampers you from tasting the true taste of the tea.
At the end of the day I am an eat everything cat pretty much so yeah I eat most stuff. I mean I wouldn't take Lutefish, Blue cheese, anything too bitter, or spicy, or too sour but other then that - anything goes.
For Woran's benefit:
Yes, I ate fried grasshoppers before. And a scorpion in a lollipop(even took pictures, it too me an hour to finish the lollipop).

lisamarlene |

I still have trouble with the idea of eating grasshoppers or locusts, even though (a) I absolutely love crawfish, prawns, lobsters... which, when you get right down to it, are just a kind of undersea insect, and (b)I understand all the ecological reasons why they are a more sustainable protein source. If I were to make a recipe with a strongly-flavored sauce, substituting one protein for the other (locust saganaki, for example) I would probably not be able to tell much difference.
And yet...

As Impus Minor put it, "That was the STUPIDEST ending to an AP, EVER!!!!!"
It was... hilarious.
And Impus Minor doesn't get off the hook:
Whingey Wizard wanted to know whether summoning worked in the area, so he summoned a brownie.
Shiro's goblin, seeing a cute small female creature appear, started flirting with her. Diplomacy 33.
Brownie, being fey and being hit on hard by the goblin, obliged him... at least for the 15 rounds she had left. Meh. Goblin.
Impus Minor: Well, i guess that brownie came out of an Easy Bake oven...

When we gamed in the Troll Hole, we went out of our way to buy bugs and serve 'em up:
I suppose if you de-legged them they'd be fine, but who's going to build a grasshopper de-legging machine?
So nope... don't like 'em.

Haven't really tried all the bug stuff…
Tried pan seared ants a long time ago, a touch too bitter for my taste though. Might be better if you caramelized them instead, to balance the bitter with some sweet they would go down a little easier.
Then again my stomach complained from even trying the ants…could just have been a coincidence though (crosses fingers that his shellfish allergy doesn't somehow magically include terrestrial Invertebrate).

Once Queen Ileosa knew her furies were done for, she started buffing herself, and the party could hear her. Instead of racing up the shaft leading into her room, they moved slowly, buffing themselves as well, giving Ileosa time to position the taniniver so that it could breathe on the entire party as soon as they were all in the shaft. The goblin, satisfied that he'd led a good life, would have none of that, so he flew up and used a Force Cage bomb (or whatever it's called) to trap the dragon, but a full-round attack from Ileosa sent him to over -100 hit points and that goblin fireworks factory in the sky.
So, I was really excited because both Ileosa and the party wizard had Spell Turning up, and I was looking forward to a massive explosion. Instead, the wizard just flew up to within 10' of Ileosa and cast Antimagic Field, causing everyone to plummet to the bottom of the shaft and fall prone.
Unfortunately, a level 20 bard, even with all the applied templates, was utterly no match for a level 17 fighter grappling (and then pinning) her, so one fighter grappled her on the ground while the other beat her with Serithtial as the cleric walled in the entire antimagicked combat area with Wall of Stone to make sure the queen wasn't going anywhere, even on a lot of lucky rolls. Instead, the NPC assassin, who'd been studying Ileosa, strode up and assassinated her. Ileosa's save? A natural 1, of course. Ileosa died rather ignominiously.
To make matters worse, once Kazavon started coming through the portal, the party immediately knew to throw Serithtial in there, but the fighter failed his Fortitude save and was stunned, so that same NPC assassin made her save, made a massive Drag roll, and dragged the stunned fighter with Serithtial into the portal to end the campaign.
Yep. All in all rather silly.

Considering you know me the best of all the people on these boards and have hung out with me god know how many times, none of what you watched should be a surprise to you.

Oddly, enough it's not quite that bad here in TN, but... McDonald's does that just about everywhere with their "sweet tea" so... If you want to know what that tastes like...

I must be making it wrong - probably put too much tea in.

Yeah the south Likes everything super sweet. They seem to hate bitter with a passion.
Speaking as a born-and-raised southerner, yes. There is very, very little as far as food goes that could be defined as "bitter" that I care for. Meanwhile I have a runaway sweet-tooth and am quite aware of it.
Though I prefer sugar substitutes to real sugar. Real sugar does not dissolve properly or evenly into cold tea. (Hot may be better, but again, I don't care for hot tea.)
It's not as bad as it used to be, though. I tried Mountain Dew a few months ago and found I simply did not care for it as it was far too sweet; ten years ago I practically breathed the stuff. Likewise straight sweetened tea is a tad too much for me, I prefer it with lemon or lime juice. Unsweetened at all however is too much in the other direction.

Orthos |

** spoiler omitted **...
Yeah there are reasons I have made extensive plans to change that particular encounter significantly when I run this for my group.

McDonald's here serves tea unsweetened. (Unless ice lemon tea). Help yourself to the sugar at the side.

** spoiler omitted **I've got a couple more years of Savage Tide left to run first though, so I've got a while to figure solutions out.
I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum and am extremely loathe in tampering with the AP even with the players cakewalking through the AP. I will change monster tactics (anyway most of the time they don't give listed tactics).
If they are likely to have difficulties with random encounters I will reroll on the table saying,"Nope, it's not fair, I'm not throwing that on you."
Fixed encounters I'm more of the line of,"Sorry, AP said what the AP said, sux to be you."
I will consider very carefully before I even think about making changes to the AP.
Of course if you ever saw me tweak the AP in a non CR appropriate way, it means I'm really, really pissed.
I've got this really sore spot about people abusing NPCs...
