Singer/songwriter and Oakville resident Janice R. Moro will perform a mix of country, folk-rock and gospel music at the café Friday, March 26. "She's performed here before and she had a lot of people come out," said café owner CJ Martin. "She really interacts with the audience and sings songs that people really connect with and she's a beautiful singer." Moro is a classically-trained musician who has studied choral, instrumental and vocal music. Her introduction to music came in the guise of classical piano. Now she's a music teacher and involved with the not-for-profit sector raising money for education, homelessness, foster children and families facing poverty locally and internationally. "She likes doing music as a community service such as singing for fundraisers and just connecting with people," Martin said. Martin added the performance will be intimate and attendees will have time to socialize with the artist and amongst themselves. Some food, desserts and coffee will be served throughout the show, included in the price of the ticket, and there will be a halfhour intermission during the performance. "People have time to socialize," Martin said. The performance is part of CJ's After 8 o'clock series, which features musicians at the café. Tickets cost $20 and parking is free behind the building.

Should I drink tea or coffee after dinner? (NC)--A cup of tea has many celebrated health benefits, but if you want to sleep, both tea and coffee are likely to keep you awake--unless they are decaffeinated. Caffeine in tea however impacts the body differently than it does in coffee, a fact of nature that could make a big difference to your wakefulness. With coffee, the body receives an immediate jolt, whereas with tea, the stimulating effects cover several hours. Here's why: The tannins in tea bind together with the caffeine and this acts to slow the dissemination down. In coffee, with no tannins, the caffeine is free. It penetrates from the stomach into the blood vessels and reaches the brain almost immediately. Tea takes much longer because the tannins-caffeine-complex must be broken up in the intestines first. This is why a cup of coffee has a stronger effect than a cup of tea at the same volume. The caffeine effect from one cup of coffee normally lasts less than one hour. On the other hand, the effect from one cup of tea can last more than three to four hours, with a slightly lower impact. The decaf solution "Tea continues to fascinate researchers with its potential health benefits and while waiting for conclusive reports on such findings, it's good to know that top-quality decaf tea allows you to drink as much as you like," says Alan Hargreaves at one of Britain's leading brands, Typhoo Tea. "Indeed, safeguarding our reputation for superior taste was of utmost priority in the decaffeination choice," he explained. "And we achieved this with the most advanced techniques, with precision, and just as importantly with far more tea leaves per cup. "Too little tea in the teabags makes the brew watery, weak and unsatisfying. Instead, in the decaf development stage, the Typhoo researchers insisted on the decision to pack as much tea into the teabag as possible. By comparison with other decafs in Canada, this is up from the average of 2 grams per teabag, to ours at 3.12 grams." Now Open! Serving Breakfast 9am - 11am, Lunch 11am - 3pm, And Dinner!
