The Toilet And The Grafitti

Using the restroom in a city bar can be full of surprises.

But no  restroom surprised me more than this one.     I could not believe what my eyes were beholding.

 All over the restroom stalls, not sure if the owner of this bar thought this was art and the graffiti was something of importance.  But the toilet was infested with grafitti.   What an eye sore this toilet was.  I couldn’t help but think that it has been a long time since I have seen a toilet such as this.

I then made a mental note as to why I would not be having a drink or have anything to eat at this bar because you know what they say about restrooms.

The restroom is a reflection the kitchen…UGH!

StarKist Tuna #Savortheflavor #SpringForStarKist @StarKistCharlie

We all had  our fill on ham and beef this weekend, but a girl still has to eat.   My latest favorite StarKist ready to use pouch tuna is Gourmet Select Thai Style tuna. I top it over my favorite salad for lunch at work. It’s that simple because it is perfect the way it is!

Here are some  other amazing StarKist ideas to enjoy Spring and all year long:

·         Citrus boost – Recent research from Johnson & Wales has shown using lemon juice and lemon zest helped boost flavor and cut back on the amount of salt used in meat, grain, soup and salad dishes. Try StarKist’s Sweet and Spicy Mandarin Salad for a flavorful lunch.

·         Don’t have a snack attack – Don’t forget to pack protein filled snacks when you are on-the-go. Say no to greasy foods and power up with StarKist Tuna & Salmon Creation pouches.

·         Return to the basics – Never worry about throwing the box instructions out with your StarKist snacks – go simple by topping a rice cracker with tuna or munch on some Spicy Salmon Mango Tortilla Boats for your Game of Thrones marathon night.

·         Plan your week – Don’t just scramble to throw together a healthy meal, StarKist has a ton of recipes on their site favored by everyone from Hungry Girl to Pro Golfer Michelle Wie. The best part: almost all of these meals take under 30 minutes to prep and cook!

·         Be a fan of convenience – Try a quick and easy recipe that’s fun for the whole family, packed with flavor and doesn’t take the wind out of you trying to prep – How about Bacon Ranch Wraps?

You can find something special for every child from Little Me fashions and for each Little Me item purchased, Little Me donated one item to Baby Buggy. Very groovy.

One cup of Rishi tea is all you need to change your perception of tea.

Rishi spent years  seeking the richest tea varieties, working with very top growers fine tuning their best blends, and designing a special knit tea bag that won’t hinder the flavor and aroma of the premium teas.

Rishi ‘s  teapots for brewing the Rishi Tea is a must have.

The Simple Brew – Loose Leaf Teapot is a great way to enjoy a cup of tea at home or at the office. The glass pot allows you to watch your favorite teas infuse, expand, and dance. The built in strainer keeps all of your tea in the pot for future steepings. The Simple Brew Teapot is also easy to clean, simply unscrew the filter from the lid and wash. Brewing Rishi’s loose tea in the loose leaf teapot is a tea leaf experience. 1

Turmeric Ginger Chai is a different blend of tea. Turmeric Ginger Chai is a naturally caffeine-free botanical elixir highlighting the wonders of golden turmeric root.  Rishi has adapted a blend to make this authentically spicy and zesty concentrate, which is designed to tap into the creativity of home baristas, mixologists, and culinary explorers.

Turmeric Ginger Latte
1. Mix 1 part Turmeric Ginger Chai and 1 part milk of choice in a steamer or saucepan (we enjoy whole cow’s milk and cashew milk)
2. Heat using an espresso machine steam wand or bring saucepan to a simmer on stovetop, stirring occasionally
3. Remove from heat and enjoy!
For a refreshing iced latte, skip the heat and pour chai/milk mixture over ice.

It doesn’t have to be 4 o’clock to have a cup of Rishi Tea…

Rishi helps a tea lover, like me, discover new blends of tea.
