The caffeine or the children?  <grin>  I'm actually not much of a caffeine
addict, don't drink coffee, don't drink an excessive amount of soda.  If I'm
semi-addicted to anything right now it's roasted hot green peas (aka "wasabi
peas").  They're hard to come by and a little steep at about $3 for a 4.23
oz (120g) bag at the local Asian grocery store.  I felt like I won the
lottery a few months ago when I was at an Asian grocery called Lotte in
Fairfax, Virginia that had them marked down to $2 for a 9.9 oz can (I nearly
cleaned them out).  I'm looking for a distributor I can buy from in bulk and
a recipe so I can make my own.  Carrie, if you ever show up at Befriend with
a piece of paper with that recipe I'll probably have to close shop for the
day to make my first batch.  And it's very kind of you to thank me.  I'm
glad to help on the list.  IMO it's one of the friendlier, more interesting
technical lists with an actual community feel to it...and I've been involved
in a lot of lists.
