If there's anything I like better than the beverages of coffee and tea, it's the food that's prepared with either of them. Now, rather than try to convince you that I know anything about cooking more than the average household food, here's a video from SmashMouthonTV:

SmashMouth on TV

Finding the SmashMouthonTV channel on YouTube was pretty easy after Allyn Hane shared the information about SmashMouth TV. Allyn is a pretty familiar face, being the popular video blogger at Blogger Illustrated (never mind the fact that he's whacked nearly all of the content there due to… umm… discontent, I think).

Anyway, I think Allyn is doing all of the videos for SmashMouthonTV himself – probably in return for a frequent feast. Heck, I'd do it too if I knew anything at all about doing videos (and I don't care to learn, really).

I've actually been asked the question: Why do I prefer to drink coffee and tea instead of beer or wine (or other alcoholic beverages)? I know people who will not drink anything but beer or just plain water. I also know people who will only drink wine and water. Every person has their own preferences and mine happens to be coffee and tea and I'll explain why.

I Over Indulge

Of course I drink more than just coffee and tea. I drink water, fruit juices, Tanduay rum and on occasion, Red Horse beer. I drink coffee in the morning and iced tea during the hot parts of the day. I drink Tanduay rum during outdoor get-togethers and I'll drink Red Horse beer when there's nothing else to drink (except water) during a get-together. I don't even like Red Horse beer and I haven't found a local wine that I like enough to drink even once.

The problem I have is that when I drink alcoholic beverages, I tend to over-indulge, almost reaching the point of getting hammered. I don't like being hammered, so I tend to avoid alcoholic beverages EXCEPT on special occasions.

Only the Best Beer

Honestly, I would drink beer if I could weed out the best beer from all the rest. My son likes Heineken and I can't stand it.

My friend Allyn is showing me some of the best beers at his new Big Beer Blog. Unfortunately, the majority of the beer he reviews isn't available outside of North America (and I'm in the Philippines). If I find a good, stout or hearty beer locally, I'll be sure to tell him about it.

My relatives, the ones living in my compound, are fine with being stuck with Red Horse. Perhaps because it's cheap beer but I'll never be sure. They do sell other brands here, such as Colt 45, but they don't seem to like it at all.

Coffee and Tea

Unless you add an alcoholic beverage of some kind, coffee and tea contains nothing that would cause me to get drunk. I have to admit, I'd drink Kahlua (a coffee liquor) if I could find it here. There's nothing quite like a good "mudslide".

No, I'll stick to coffee and tea as my primary beverages. It's the safe thing for me to do.

This blog is all about coffee, tea and anything (and I do mean anything) related to either one.

I have been drinking coffee and tea all my life (which started in 1960) and I prefer them over any other drinks, even plain water. You can ask me if I'm a coffee lover and a tea lover, a coffee addict and a tea addict, or a coffee fanatic and a tea fanatic and I'll reply with something like "all of the above".

I drank coffee and tea before I joined the military in 1978, while in the military, and I continue to drink them in my retirement years.
