Thanks, R. I was trying to think of TEA as some abbreviation. Duh! Sorry for being so dense. Yes, Tea is always better than alcohol when one feels like a drink. And I can eat thrugh a mountaun of scones. I'm used to the sweeeter pastry ones. But at a function last week, I had some savory ones. Yummy. Aa.
