Kombucha Tea

Kombucha - Soft Drink for the 21st Century?

Popping the cap off a bottle of Kombucha — or "mushroom tea" as it’s known by some — is a complete sensory experience. There’s the snap, crackle, fizz of carbonated bubbles, the mysterious slimy globules that slow-float like a psychedelic lava lamp throwback, and the sharp vinegary tang that hits the nose like a slap.

While fizzy, vinegary and slimy are not exactly the most tantalizing food descriptors, this trendy tea has a peculiar allure that’s winning devotees nationwide. At Google’s California corporate headquarters, the cafeteria slings upwards of 100 cups of homemade brew a day, and GT Kombucha, one of the most popular bottled brands on the market, reaps annual sales in the millions.

To clarify, Kombucha is not a mushroom at all, but a symbiotic colony of yeast and beneficial bacteria that grows in sugar-sweetened black tea.

Long used by bo-hos and hippies, mushroom tea finally reaching the Google cafeteria, but actually "jumped the bong" when it became corporate several years ago. This concept has a lovely synchronization widely appearing in the news.

Yer Granny's Blues

ME: "I wish I had had more children. In my twilight years I've always wanted to be the matriarch of a large family. Sitting on the front porch with guitar in hand, supper on the stove, a long, grey braid across my shoulder, and oodles of grandchildren all around singing along off key. Can you picture it?"

FRIEND: "I can hear it now:"

Granny Susan: "...come on kids sing louder on the chorus this time
SHA DOOBY SHATTERED SHATTERED
SHA DOOBY SHATTERED SHATTERED
......that's it! you got it you got it!!"

After a day of running errands I return to find that sweet Anathea had sent me some delicious truffles and I didn't waste any time diving into them. I'm eating a honey-almond one in this picture.

My dog, Buddy, came over after he smelled chocolate but I didn't give him any of it. Thanks again, Anathea, and Happy Friday everyone.
