In Pursuit of Tea - It may not yet rival coffee, but sipping a cup of tea is catching on in North America, and it's a decidedly different pleasure, bringing calm instead of
jitters and a slow, luxurious pace instead of a quick hot swallow.
In Pursuit of Tea is an aid to North American tea drinkers, who may find that
cultivating their newly acquired taste is a bewildering quest. For those
who don't know the difference between oolong and green tea, the site brings
rare teas to us from remote growers worldwide, describes the art of
growing teas and their special characteristics. Only "true" loose-leaf teas
are here, and the selections are pure and unblended, promising "a new
journey, full of wonder and peace."
The Phobia List - all of us have fears. If your bank account is sparse, you may have
Plutophobia - fear of wealth, or if you're a light sleeper you may suffer
from Oneirophobia- fear of dreams. Whatever your phobia is, you can find it
here.
Deja Sears - It's 1971, and All in the Family premiers on TV, soft contact lenses
receive FDA approval and polyester is really, really big. Thumb through the
Fall 1971 Sears Catalog for evidence: Fortrel, Dacron, Orlon, Acrilan,
Kodel and Celanese. It came from the 1971 Sears Catalog is one of those
sites that just happens when someone finds something so remarkably weird
they just have to share.
The Internet Public Library - when you need to find a computer/Internet related term,
Webopedia is the site to visit. However, when you need

particular, you'll enjoy browsing the library anyway. It
has everything your own local library has--except books and
noisy children.

Polkas and Pierogies
- A jaunty polka tune greets visitors to Mrs. T's Pierogies, where the
Eastern European traditional dish of potato- and cheese-filled pasta shells
reigns supreme. At this cheerful site, originating from a Pennsylvania
family restaurant, users learn all about pierogies, join pierogie clubs and
chat rooms and, of course, get plenty of pierogie recipes.
Toaster Museum
- They call you crazy if you collect toasters, or so says the collector
himself, whose only problem is that he has hundreds of them. The Toaster
museum shows off 183 toasters in the collection, from a rare 1920s German
4-slice device to a beautiful red Dutch model called Molly. He's looking
for more, to buy or sell.
