What ales you?

tea

We were doing some shopping this weekend… And ended up at Nick and Willey’s in Peoria.  Its a hit with everyone in the family. 

Right next door they have the natural/hippie food market filled with all kinds of hormone and preservative free foods…  They also have some tea there that I like…  Licorice Root. 

When I was decaffinating over the past few years… I drank a lot of this.   Its really good… But its not really tea. 

Anyway… Long story short…. I get up in line… And the guy, who is genuinly nice, starts talking about my tea…  Then he asks me why I am taking it.  My first thought was… “Oh crap!  Do I need a prescription or something?”  I kinda stumbled around and basically answered that I liked the taste.  He then started talking about people who drink it for medicinal reasons… And how he thought I must have had a condition if I was drinking it….  Apparently talking about your medical conditions is normal there? 

So, here is a list of things I dont have to worry about since I am drinking Licorice Root:
