Reese's Pieces

I am an odd cat. Truly odd..ask any of my friends.

When I travel, I bring with me Reese's Pieces. They are my comfort food. When I can't find any food that hits the spot and I want that sweet something that reminds me of home..I turn to the pieces. The oddity is that I don't eat them at home...so why would they remind me of home. I sincerely do not know.

My other regular is a cup of tea. It reminds me to chill. I am not much of a coffee drinker. The Africans laugh at me. They drink coffee more than tea and do not understand why I don't really like coffee. In addition to not really liking the taste, I think I also like tea more because it feels more calm. You drink coffee to put caffeine in you and to wake you up...get you moving. You drink tea to unwind at the end of the day. To feel some calm and peace. As a rule I enjoy the calm and peace more than the up and movement of caffeine rushing through my system.

Of course, I do drink caffeinated tea and soda at times...so I am also a slight contradiction.
