picked up some green rooibos with black currant and cardamom. drinking some now, really very good. so many teas, was close to going brain dead reading labels. it's happened to me before. saw another rooibos, oxidized, i think, lots of red on the label. had a moment of weakness, ate two chocolate pecan cookies. had a nice conversation with a clerk about all the bulk oils like argan, pine nut, etc. anyway, i don't know what kind of experience others have in grocery stores but i find some shoppers can be so oblivious. so, there i was, reading tea labels, i stood to let an older woman by, she parked herself and her basket between me and the teas where i'd been squatting to examine the little containers. she locked me out. basket plus her, that's like about 60"-70" width of grocery shelf lock-out but i'm so, so nice. i waited for her to finish her oblivious wandering through the landscape of grocery land. i hate my niceness. thx to peggy for mentioning rooibos.
