    Tea = mug.

    Pot of tea = cup and saucer.

    The soap dish we have above the sink at work is really old and corroded and the soap itself is nearly always dirty from the tradesmen who use it to clean up. I noticed that there was another bracket on the wall next to it, so one day I got a brand new, shiny soap dish and installed it alongside the old one. I then raided one of the housemaids' cupboards and piled it high with fancy soaps and mini mouthwashes. As a finishing touch, I got some paper and cellotape and labeled the old one "Proletariat" and the new one "Bourgeoisie".

    For three days no one touched the new soap dish. On the fourth day when I came into work, the soaps and mouthwash were gone and the dish had been ripped out and thrown onto the roof. The old one is still there and still in use.

    ive been drinking an ungodly amount of green tea latey. i hate coffee and trying to quit soda.

    i usually drink either yogi or tazo brands.

    a friend of mine told me that black tea/green tea mixed together is pretty good.

    anyone ever try that?

    I just finished a nice glass of tea. My wife bought an infuser (wire basket you put in your glass, that has a rim to hold it there) for Christmas, along with a canister of loose leaf Earl Grey.

    I just drank a blend of Rooibos, mate and something else a friend gave me about a year ago.

    you can't make tea in a microwave right?
    something about how the microwave boils the water i think
    makes it taste kind of bland or something
    or maybe that's just a tea snob thing

    would it be an acceptable alternative for someone who doesn't have stove or any other way of boiling water?

    Just boil the water before the teabag goes anywhere near it.

    I know plenty of people who use a microwave to reheat their tea once it gets cold. I've never done it myself but I'd imagine the thing tastes bloody horrible once you've reheated it.

    one of my favorite things about living in Granada were the teterías (Moorish tearooms) which were amazing

    I only took one picture inside of one which is remarkable for the amount of time I spent hanging out there

    I found one tiny piece of cat poo in the hallway

    Now I know that can't be the ONLY piece in the house, but the rest is nowhere in plain sight.

    Guys. It is time for a cat poop scavenger hunt.

    Likely just a clinger from the last trip to the cat box.

    "Make it into tea" would be the on topic response.

    so if these electric kettles only have settings for green and black, how do you know what to put it on if you want oolong or white or something else?

    An electric kettle should just heat up water.

    That's it.


    They have kettles that come with built in tea settings? Really?

    I'm not aware of electric kettles that have different tea settings. Can you really get them?

    Most just have an on switch that starts boiling water.
