Tea time

[skyring]

I'm a teabag man. Always have been. For convenience and cleanliness, you can't beat a tea bag. Besides, I'm usually making tea for one, given my odd hours.

Kerri dabbled in leaf tea a while back. She likes it. I even got her a little tealeaf infuser thingie, bought at the marvellous National Building Museum shop. It has flanges that fit over the rim of a cup or mug, you spoon the tealeaves in, pour in boiling water, and when it's the right strenght, lift it out carefully and place it in its own little stand. Great design!

She switched over to Earl Grey a while back, so we had most of a pack of normal leaf tea in the cupboard. Rather than waste it, I've been making my way through it, using the infuser, trying to use it up so I can get to the pack of teabags also sitting unopened in the cupboard.

The end is in sight - only a few cups left.

Yesterday Kerri did the shopping, buying my favorite breakfast cereal, bless her heart. We ran out and I bought an emergency packet on Friday night. So now we have two packs.

She also bought a new packet of leaf tea, "because you've been really going through it lately." Aaarrrghh!

Sorry, Pete. I'm a tealeaf girl all the way. Although, having said that, teabags have some good advantages. If I'm looking for a really strong cup of tea I'll use teabags. Particularly those ones the Countess brought back from Buckingham Palace. I swear you could stand a teaspoon up in it.

Happy drinking! :D
