By

Think you can’t live without that cup o’ Joe in the morning? You might think again when we tempt your taste buds with tea. That’s right. You might discover a tea drinker inside you who wants to duel with the coffee drinker side. It’s okay, there’s room for both in your life. Check out some of the flavorful, and amusing, varieties we’ve uncovered.

As they boast proudly on their webside, they are “NOT Aunt Mabel’s or Grandma Hattie’s tea.” They hand craft their teas in small batches and you’ll be amazed at the flavor combinations they’ve come up with. Here’s a small sample: Napalm Ferret Green Tea. Butterbeer Tea, Smaug Tea (ingredients include things like cinnamon chips, cayenne pepper and magic), and an OYGFIB blend which stands for Orange you glad Frank is bananas?

See, you had no idea tea could be this tasty or this much fun.

Manteas

You’ll also find an assortment of Manteas at Zoomdweebie’s and there’s bacon involved. We knew that would get your attention. Sip a steaming cup of smoky bacon or chocolate bacon tea. It will make a believer out of you and you’ll soon wonder why you were so clingy about your coffee. Other blends include RadioactivitTEA, Mayan Chocolate Chai and Maple Bacon Black Tea.

Yogi Tea offers a special blend called “Men’s Tea,” which has a roasted spice flavor that includes ginger, ginseng and chili. The company based the creation on Ayurvedic principles for an active and productive life. We also found a tea designed to promote male fertility and sexual vitality. ViriliTea is crafted from a wide mix of flavors and herbs such as ginger, cat mint, cinnamon bark, stevia, ginseng, mulra puama, epimedium, goji berry and more.

Marbling is everything: A guide to decoding steak like a butcher
Marbling is fat and fat is flavor
Wagyu steak on grill

If you’ve ever found yourself lingering a little too long at the butcher counter, eyes darting between rows of glossy steaks like you’re choosing a bottle of wine for a first date, you’re not alone. Maybe you go for the thickest cut, the brightest red, or — let’s be honest—the one that’s on sale. But if you're aiming for a steak that melts under your fork and makes your guests raise their eyebrows in delighted surprise, there’s only one detail that truly matters: marbling.
Let’s slice into it, butcher-style — blade to bone. Because marbling isn’t just a buzzword for foodies or something chefs say to sound smart. It’s the secret handshake between flavor and tenderness. And once you know what to look for, you’ll never blindly grab a random ribeye again.

Why Licor 43 is one of the most intriguing liqueurs on the shelf
Everything you've ever wanted to know about Licor 43
Licor 43

If you ever find yourself perusing the aisles at your local alcohol retailer, you’re bound to run into a few mysterious-sounding liqueurs, bitters, and other cocktail ingredients. One of the most intriguing is the golden-hued, very mystifying Licor 43.

If you’re anything like me, the first time you saw this Spanish liqueur, you were scratching your head and wondering what exactly it is. I’ve been writing about alcohol for nearly two decades, and I’ve come across many random liqueurs. Few were more mysterious when I first laid eyes on it than Licor 43. In its futuristic, brightly colored bottle, it resembles something that would be the backdrop of a science fiction movie, such as ‘Blade Runner’ or ‘Demolition Man.’

The Las Vegas breakfast spot that might just ruin all others for you
Start your Las Vegas morning the right way
La Fontaine Las Vegas

I've always loved going out for breakfast or brunch since I was young. Maybe it's that I'm a morning person, or perhaps it's that I love breakfast food and coffee. Either way, there's no denying that breakfast is my favorite meal to dine out for. Interestingly enough, however, I feel that breakfast is also the meal that seems the most "hit or miss" when dining out.

In my opinion, breakfast experiences can be divided into three sections. First, you have the truly terrible dining experience (don't ask how hard it is to mess up eggs, because the answer isn't what you think). Chances are you've experienced this -- no matter where you live or dine. Secondly, there's the mediocre breakfast or brunch experience. This is the category most restaurants fall into.
