Move over Senseo

senseo_thee.jpgOk, first of all, lay your head on your left shoulder and you will recognize the picture.  hehehehe.  And if that did not do it….it is a red Senseo with the tea pad holder(green).  Lately I have been enjoying the tea that Majong sent me.:)  It is a whole box of assorted teas that are kinda fancy and I just love them.  I have been trying to get off aspartame which is in diet pop.  Mirjam’s words keep ringing in my ears every time I take a sip of diet pop.(she gave me a major lecture on diet sugars).  So, I have been enjoying tea.  Tea does not really turn blips on but he HAS reduced his diet pop to 1/3 of his normal.  Anyway, I take the string off the bag, shake the tea until it is missing from the corners of the bag.  That is necessary so there is a seal on the green holder or it leaks.  Then I carefully place the bag so the four corners will catch the seal when I close the lid.  Push the two cup button and walla…..a wonderful large cup of tea in seconds.  So, move over Senseo, I don’t need your expensive pads!

    I think it’s real inventive off you, even over here the original pads are quit expensive. It should become better priced because the pattent on the PAD is no longer valid, so every fabricant can make them without having to pay Douwe Egberts.

    Brilliant idea! You know, Mirjam and I were strolling through our local grocery store the other day and suddenly she stopped in her tracks…Senseo has arrived to Jönköping!

    hahaha… this is really funny. First of all.. I dont remember a long lecture. Cant really think of the diet sugar speach at all. I sort of wonder what I said. It makes me laugh a bit. Sam says I can be really serious about small stuff and I sound very convinced. Second, I just love and miss your craftiness! Your solutions always amazed me! :)

    @Mir:
    ok, this is the third time I have typed this and it gets shorter every time. grrrrr I hope it posts this time.
    The lecture lasted about 10 minutes and consisted of a talk from you where you did not let me get a word in. How rare is that! So, I knew how serious you were. It included such words as brain tumor, liver cancer…..etc. And I kept it always in the back of my mind, so you made an impression on me. So, for now I am content with water with a little lemon and tea. Of course, I have my one delicious coffee in the morning. That is required! And healthy too, I hear from a very reliable source.
    I have lost 18 pounds. I think you can see it in blips blog on packing. Rather I think you CAN’T see it….hehehehehehhe.
    btw, I miss our talks and an occassional lecture from you!
