Bombilla Gourd Mate’ Tea

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Last week, I was busy running errands all afternoon. I was feeling cranky, hot, tired and thirsty- a bad combination. I had several more stores to go to, so decided to pick up a healthy snack and a cold drink from Whole Foods. My eyes quickly scanned their refrigerated drink section and a […]
