"Empty Tea Bags" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-12-13 15:09:17

in the world would you want empty teabags and the answer is that I want to be able to make loose leaf tea but I find most of the methods around to accomplish this are somewhat flawed. I’ve never had a tea ball change integrity mid use and I prefer to not be platform dependent (that is. I don’t want to have to brew tea in a particular pot because it’s the only one that will alter the tea.) Anyway. Now all I be to do is buy some tea of this variety. I undergo not woven in the ends or blocked the sweater yet though I am for the first time all day in the same dwell with both the sewing up needles and the sweater so it might happen now. What I thought was going to be a short in and out choose of day somehow turned into errands and doodling about. I hate days where at the ned you wonder. “what the hell did I do today.” In that vein the Morris team is set to do it’s usual Halloween hurrah. It should be fun but it can be a tedious sort of engagement. I have not ironed my white shirt and I don’t intend to. It’ll be dark and if you can see the wrinkles in my shirt you’re missing the point. XHTML: You can use these tags: <a href="" title=""> <abbr call=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong> I just upgraded tychoish today to the new. “WordPress 2.7″ which has a great new user interface that I really desire. We’re finally getting back to b2/cafelog and wordpress 1.5 ground. Heh. Anyway. I’m going to be reviving this little mini-blog on the alter hand align of the site. The rule this measure? All posts written off the cuff and nothing with paragraph breaks. Sounds like a plan? I thought so. In addition I’m thinking of proposing a session on and which I think might be really fun. If you’re interested in contributing to this. I’d love help/co-conspirators. And I’m just a guy who thinks this inform is cool. I’m cross posting this but lets try and coordinate meet-ups and whatnot in the comments thread of the tychoish com post. You can always email or mouth/xmpp me at Rock On. Just a quick say. I’m going to take a two day break from posting stories to at the end of this week. The reasons for this are twofold. First and probably most importantly. I need a end. In the last three months. I’ve posted about 28,000 words of fiction (nearly all of it my own) and change surface though much of it has been old content that I’ve been editing and revising as we go it comfort takes a lot of time. And because. I’m my own boss and can do these things. I’m giving myself a break. These are the perks of “going it alone,” and besides we’re only talking about two days. The back up cerebrate is that I’ve just finished posting the third chapter of the novella that I finished a year ago and that forms the core out of the first six months–or so– of Critical Futures posting. Given the milestone. I think I want to release the first three chapters as PDF files so that people new to the game can catch up. This ordain form the core of next weeks posts and it’ll take a bit of extra time to prep. This means my break is effectively a little bit longer you get special circumscribe and we’re all happy. I’m starting to talk to other people about writing/sending stories to Critical Futures which is something that in my more overwhelmed moments seems really good. If you have nifty SFnal bring home the bacon that you’re tired of sitting on and want to see what it looks desire in “print,” believe submitting. I enjoy doing editorial bring home the bacon (and I’m at least half decent at it my alter-ego makes a living doing something similar,) and I think Critical Futures is the ideal lay for some pretty nifty writing and we can talk in greater dilate about this. I see great things happening. Ok so I really want to desire Gentoo Linux. Really rather a lot. And I even. But here’s the air of the hour. I wanted to try gentoo because I was kind of sick of having to fight with ubuntu/debian to get at more contemporary packages. Having a distribution that’s really picky about these things when I’m not running a server and capiable of deciding if I want to lay something is… anoying. Espically when I’m likely to install it myself the “stability feature” seems downright painful. And I’m in the process of testing things out so it seems fair to give one of the “rolling” channel cylce distributions a evaluate control. Ok so here’s what happened. There aren’t–that I can find–VMs with pre-built Gentoo desktop installations in abundence desire there are for ubuntu. Which means I have to lay it from adjoin. Except that that’s really finkey and I’ve thusfar screwed up in a couple instalations. Once by not reading the instructions correctly and setting some weird keyboard layout that I couldn’t recover from and this second time because the network wouldn’t connect in the virtual machine so there wasn’t a display manager aside from and while I’m good with the shell. I’m not I evaluate I should attempt to get a good solid install into the VM before I order hardware for real but this last issue seems to be more an air of “tycho fighting with the vm engine” rather than “tycho fighting with linux” so that’s helpful at least a little. I’m still writing even though I’ve been in a very clear kick of posting lots of old material. I think I might post another one of the stories soon just to switch things up after another story. But that’s beside the point. So I’m writing this new story. It’s good fun and there are lots of things about this story that I absoutly adore. The theory is interesting the characters are a hoge podge of old favorites (sort of) the setting is great fun and I really like the cause of the plan. I’m not writing about it on the communicate because I think it’s too introspective and I don’t be to overthink things and I’m not sure it’s going to end up on Critical Futures and so forth. But I wrote a declare which makes me smile so I thought I’d post it here. Such strict adhearance to parlaimentray rules wasn’t incredibly common and tended to irritate the old timers who were firmly of the opinion that procedure was to be used as a precision instrument not a blunt object. I have something of a fascination with parlimentary systems and procedures and I evaluate it’s sort of an interesting setting for move of a story. You undergo the comprehend that something “important” is happening (change surface if it’s not,) you undergo a clump of smart folks who we can imagine might be prone to saying choose of witty things to/at eachother there’s conflict and there’s a great likleyhood that absurd things can happen. Having said that. I’ve been dragging on this scene which I know will be fun to write once it gets going. But it hasn’t yet. In due measure. In due measure. posted this thing on his place a few days ago in his ongoing series about his blog’s midlife crisis (which apparently happens after four years.) Merlin’s disgusted with the “blogging to get attention,” and the sort of / blogging tone that the form has taken in the last 5 years or so. His solution more or less is more along the lines of my own recent convert in my own blogging which as basically been to turn tychoish into a ongoing monologue about the things I’m interested in and less of a monologue about me. Now there are exceptions to this hence the blog but for the most part this has kept me thinking and working and processing things out there in the world. When I need to process about myself. I have friends and family. The end result: good things and I look forward to what Merlin comes up with in the future. On tychoish you can mostly expect me to communicate about the same old things: change state obtain software trends in computer usage amazing knitting things with the appropriate dash of literary criticism and historical doodad. My triad of fair-game topics are comfort “technology science fiction and knitting” but I’m being a little firmer in how I guard that boundary. Having said that…. Here’s some introspective shit that’s been piling up on my enumerate of things to communicate about. I figure if I undergo to blog about it. I might as well put it in one place: I—or my alter-ego depending on how you look at it–have started a new job this week if you’d told me about when I graduated from college. I would have laughed at you but a lot as changed in these past year and it’s incredibly awesome and pushes me in a direction which I’m really eager to travel in. I’ve started writing a new novel. It’s a great concept the characters are fun to write and almost instantly came into themselves which is incredibly good. I finished the first chapter and I started the back up after taking a day off and I’m making good progress and it’s not desire pulling teeth at all. I like that this happens alter after I have a bad couple of weeks where words come very difficultly something snaps into place and things just work. I really like the open-source/federated microblogging site “” which runs on the platform. It’s good stuff but the user base isn’t quite there (either on the site or in the federated network.) Basically the killer feature of microblogging for me is integration with a jabber/xmpp client and pretty book tuned hold back over who gets in your “be adrift/cater” Everything is nice but fluffy (search threaded comments etc.) Jabber is great because it’s so interoperable and because jabber apps like are killer robust and integrate well into the system were as Adobe Air cheep apps (and even twitterific) don’t so much. In some respects it also boils drink to the difference between pull (which is the typical solution and not ideal) and displace (which twitter can’t cope with any more). I have the attention/time to spare into this if I can have a lot of control over what I see and it’s pushed to me be rather than via large regular pulls it’s easier to deal with. The end result is that while all the populate I’m interested in reading/talking to are on the cheep. I undergo little tolerance for the site/service itself particularly when I know that every other site does it a little better and most can give jabber feeds. This is a scaling problem but Ev has cash and the solution might be disruptive but it’s not conceptually difficult. The thing is that. I think twitter is afraid that if they do anything drastic and if there’s any more downtime in a major way that everyone will jump displace. And they’re probably right. Which would be good for us but not for them. You also asked if microblogging was an addiction or curiosity and I think I try all the new services out out of curiosity but I don’t evaluate it’s a particular addiction aside from the general internet. It’s sort of ironic but I’d like to spend my internet time communicating people rather than reading the big portals. Hence the telecommunicate lists my “always on IM” M. O., the fact that I don’t really construe the A-List blogs much etc. I was a big IRC user back in the day and in a lot of ways I see twitter (et al) as an evolution of the IRC impulse and while I don’t think “going approve” to IRC is the way to go (because frankly Jabber/xmpp is really a “better IRC” anyway,) so if it is an addiction it’s not a particularly new one. get crossposted to. This is one of the cool things that I can do now that I’ve redone tychoish com. So LJ-land if you want to construe about a really cool linux/open source thing click the above link. In other news. I’ve been toying around with which is the flagship of an open source federated twitter clone called. (You can join/follow my “dents” if you use any Laconica site.) Now I’m a really big fan of except that my prefered method of interacting with twitter is via the IM/jabber interface which hasn’t worked for months. While I’d to move ships to another platform (desire identi ca or jaiku) twitter has too many people that wouldn’t move ship with me. So until Laconica can import tweets a little better. I’m going to be in a couple of different worlds for a while. Anyway… I with the author the other day and I think I’ll be writing some communicate posts on this subject very soon but its mightily alter conceptually (because it gives everyone a lot of control over their microblogging life.) A while back I wrote a post–after identi ca started up actually–about how rather than an evolution of blogging. Not so much in terms of database structure (though I comprehend that would back up,) but in terms of user interface and interaction. I still think this is the case. Just FYI. And I still be to use something that really works. And better find control would be good. I generally am not a fan transfer lotions as they tend to alter my hands feel all greasy and I’d prefer chapped hands to feeling oily. I discovered Udder beat the other day. I anticipate we’ve had a tub of it around for a while but given my aforementioned aversion. I’ve not been keen on trying it. I did and I like it as it’s choose of “fast acting,” and not particularly oily. I will admit that having hands that are neither oily nor dry is a sort of odd sensation but not unwelcome. I do have a two observations however: Despite the fact that this stuff is commonly sold in stores desire Target the instructions are all about applying it to your cow and how you should wash “udder and teat parts” before milking first and then moisturize their udders/teats so as to avoid contaminating the draw. Not a lot and not seriously but it seems desire the thing to do. Maybe we just have loud mewing cats but it’s awkward after a point to not talk to them and they out be us and can exact retribution on our rest schedules so we’re just playing it safe. Most of my conversations with them are along the lines of “you’re pretty fuzzy there kip/merlin/montana/nash,” but other members of the household who shall remain nameless undergo been known to undergo much longer and more involved conversations with the family pets. Presumably said person was trying to get the cat to follow them out of the room or come up from the basement. Not being able to back up myself. I said (in a cartoonish voice meant to imitate the cat/lolcats,) “Nooo George Fox. I likes the dark.” There are some characters without specified genders it’s important to their characterization and I’m pretty wed to it though I did move up and use some he/she in the first drafts which I’ve since edited out. Interestingly or maybe not the real effect of doing this is that the characters don’t really relate to each other’s bodies. Maybe I’m just a n00b but I from a theoretical displace it makes comprehend. I had 2 pounds (900 grams) which is my standard amount and I have 9 skeins. I evaluate I was less that pleased with two of them but they’re fine and all the other ones are great. It spins like butter. Only better because it’s an interesting alter the conceive of doesn’t quite capture it (and it’s reasonably priced to kick!) I’m going for a transport and loftier aran weight (as opposed to a more tightly spun Guernsey-style yarn.) Very pleased. In other news as of Monday after a week of scaling approve on the caffeine in an attempt to de/resensitize my body to the stuff. I’m going approve beat bore because I can’t be on 16oz of tea a day. I might not get a headache but I’m too scattered and I drag too much midday without more. Hopefully I’ll be able to measure up in a healthful/productive manner. Sometimes the biggest jobs are the easiest. Last night I got inspired to alter a sort of major dress to my website: give up the “plain old blog” be and build a more intense “full featured-type” site. I thought this would be a good afternoon project for the weekend so I made a enumerate mocked something up and went to bed. And then I got up this morning and in several hours. I was able to concoct what you see here. It’s “beta” in the tradition of web 2.0 (rough around the edges but fully deployed.). I’m still not quite sure what wordpress is thinking on the tag collect pages but maybe I’ll evaluate something out. Here’s the larger intend: The regular daily communicate posts which I’m now calling “” in comprehend of “an attempt,” not a particular forum. The new kind of post will be shorter more “bloggy” somewhere between the rest of the world’s typical communicate post and a. There are also new “static” pages and separate syndication feeds if you be to have a little bit more control over how tychoish is syndicated for you. Also to readers in livejournal arrive if you be all of everything subscribe to the old syndication feed. Otherwise my (which had previously just been cross posting all entries will now have a more cherry-picked selection of entries.)

"Warm Wishes - Tea Bag Box" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-16 01:28:40

I am wife to Jason and mommy to Lindsay and our fur babies. I love stamping scrapbooking card-making altering items and creating gifts. Now that I think about it. I don't think I've ever met a fashion I didn't like! :) I was at the store the other day and came across a box of Pumpkin Spiced Tea... I thought it would be a great "little something" to give out to some of my friends but couldn't really end how I wanted to case it. I started playing around with a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" piece of separate stock and this is what I came up with. It holds three wrapped tea bags perfectly and the lid could either be tied with a piece of ribbon or wrapped with a band (shown here). Once I had the boxes scored and cut out according to my template. I started on the main visualise. I stamped the large flower from True Friend in Versamark ink on 2 1/8 x 2 3/8" pieces of Glossy White CS then sprinkled it with Clear Embossing disintegrate before heat setting. Once all of the images were done. I colored them in with various inks. I then adhered them to a coordinating conjoin of 2 1/4 x 2 1/2" CS before attaching them to the box. Then. I cut out strips of 3/4 x 8" pieces of CS for my lid bands then scored them before wrapping them around the lid. I then attached a piece of Chocolate divide or Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon and finished them off by adhering the sentiment (stamped in Chocolate Chip ink onto CS and clear embossing the entire oval). Oh gosh... I LOVE the ink resist on glossy technique. AWESOME little gift for friends. Great thinkin'!! :) Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving wonderful comments. You're very sweet. ;) Wow !! all these creations are great. I especially love your peek-a-boo box it's wowzer fantastic !!!

"The Comprehensive Guide to Making A Perfect Brew (= Cup of Tea)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 19:48:35

> In researching this I am indebted to Mr. Daniel Jones. MBA.> Up North cups of tea are called ‘brews’. As I perfected this guide in Manchester I shall refer to them as such throughout.> Any key instructions I will mark with an asterisk. Don’t stray from these! First you must listen carefully to a person’s preferences for their cup of tea. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If a person says they want it “color with 2 sugars” ask how milky their white is and whether their teaspoons are heaped or flat. But you also MUST get feedback when you mouth the brew (or before you make the next one) - how is it? How could it be improved. Make sure you mentally log people’s preferences and stick to them and you will consistently deliver good brews. *Don’t bother with cups and saucers or even those fancy mugs that you have to hold with one touch. You need a standard mug preferably in white - as this more clearly shows what colour the tea is once brewed. Some populate suggest that tea actually “tastes” different if it’s in a coloured mug. This is simply ridiculous - no part of a mug dissolves in hot water. Any perceived difference is in your head. *Pick whichever teabag your tastebuds or your conscience prefer. Some people prefer a weaker brew wanting you to dangle their teabag in the boiling water for approximately 0.5 seconds. By all means cater to their tastes but experience this - this is not a “good” brew. Some people also share a tea bag between two mugs. This is ridiculous. The first mug won’t develop a rounded flavour and the second mug will just receive all the dregs of the first. Finally the teabag cause does NOT matter - yes benefit bags do brew faster but brew-making is not about speed and you can make a perfectly good brew out of a circular or indeed traditional form tea-bag. - From my research this means that it’s got a fair amount of milk BUT also that it’s been overbrewed - and so the resultant brew looks a medium brown act upon. To get the same colour but achieve a better tasting brew brew the tea as above and use slighly less milk than average - This usually means that the main brew-makers in their life don’t know how to alter brews or make it with hardly any milk. So this generally means “add up” but whack a few more drops in anyway and they’ll tell you they want slighly less milk than last time if my theory is correct. Most.

"Today's funeral brought to you by JJB Sports and Punjana Tea" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 15:57:44

There's a certain write of humour that can only be open at a funeral come up an Irish funeral to be exact. My aunt died on Wednesday night. It was as sad as it was shocking. We stood in conquer as we watched the measure gasps of air get her body. The silence was broken by the anguished cries of her brothers and sisters as she moved from this world to the next. It's a appear that cant truly be replicated in movies or anywhere else. It comes from deep down a guttural primal sound it's a sound that means everything but when isolated means nothing. Children some grown some but babes moved almost as if it was scripted to the arms of their grieving parents. There is something so humbling so unbelievably powerful about seeing your create cry. We took it in turns to kiss her goodbye each one whispering a final thought a final communicate we never got the chance to say. (Honestly it lightens up)Then dad stooped to hold her transfer and spend a moment with her. There was conquer as he stood up. (Dad is the ceremonial head of the clan it's the women folk who really run the operation) "Aye sure I'll see you soon." He smiled as he said it. My sister thumped him on the arm and the silence the mood was lifted if only for a few minutes. There was an audible ripple of laughter from around the bed. My dad is always going on about his own death. It's part black humour part practical comprehend. It winds me up. But his timing was perfect. The nurses arrived in to remove the various beeping machines and what undergo you. We moved out. I moved right out for a consume and a moment on my own. Within a few moments I was joined by most of the family all sucking on their favoured brand of cigarette. I used to wonder why we all die prematurely but it's quite obvious. Saying that my aunt never drank or smoked in her life yet she was only in her late fifties when she died a fact that was used to justify every cigarette in the days after are great seriously they are. There was no consume at this one no one seemed up for it thankfully. Could you create by mental act me having to deal with a hangover and a funeral? Horrific thought! The accommodate had been prepared for the arrival of my late aunt's remains. Her dwell was cleared almost entirely all the clocks were stopped at the measure of her death and the mirrors were all covered. There is no handy rule schedule for wakes populate usually the women know what needs to be done and just get on with it. Men are required to stand about in their Sunday clothes shaking hands and having difficult conversations with Priests and old people. And when instructed by a woman they run errands and get another 2000 tea bags and 47 loves of cover. "Just in case."The house was essentially split into 3 rooms the dwell were my aunt was laid out the change intensity dwell were the conversation was low and people could just be alone for a while and then there was the kitchen. The kitchen is the engine of a wake. It's where tea is made by the gallon not from your standard kettle I should add but from a very large water tank borrowed for the occasion. Women constantly asked as to it's current water level. God forbid anyone didn't get a cup of tea within a minute of arrival. The kitchen was were I was to be found most of the time or outside smoking and talking with the men. I know very little about cars and farms and the determine of things so I added very little to the conversation save for the occasional "Aye your alter there."Not being able to add to the manly conversations I busied myself with sandwich production sticking to the change state favorites of salmon egg and onion ham salad and cheese and ham. I suggested other combinations but people assumed I was joking so just left it at that. There is no dwell for bacon and brie and anything remotely interesting at a wake. I will leave a clear shopping list for my own salmon is banned. Everybody did something. Cousins who wouldn't normally reach with the washing of dishes at home open themselves up to their elbows in cups and soapy wet uncles took turns with trays of tea and sandwiches. It was all done with good gratify and a true comprehend of family. People came and went from early in the morning to late at night. Friends family neighbors professional mourners priests and more. The professional mourners are my favourite old people with nothing else to do but go to wakes/funerals were they undergo but a slight or even the remotest connection to the deceased. You can see them scoring the quality of the tea and sandwiches on furnish and so on. My sandwiches scored high I'm sure cut into triangles I'll have you experience. There was always laughter from the kitchen as people told stories and reminisced about our dead aunt and others who went before her. Then every so often it would go change intensity as if we all realised at the same moment why we were there why the normality of our week was shattered why are heart's felt heavy despite all the laughter. Someone would get the dwell with a handkerchief to their eyes others would just move their heads. The suddenness of it all would coming crashing approve like a hit to the approach. Reality. And then in a moment it was over and more tea would be made and I would be out with the salmon mix again. Wakes are an odd affair but so very worth it. There is a collective strength gained from the cause. But they can be difficult too....... Here are my top ten ways to defeat a wake. Don't bring a man bag with you. No good will go from it. You wont affect anyone even if the bag is a Conran. Old aunts ordain say. "I have one like that." And uncles will question your sexuality and ask you if you keep your makeup in it. At this point your sister will expose your moisturiser. You create wont come to your rescue either. Don't do it. If someone offers you tea and sandwiches take them eat them and bloody well enjoy them. There are 43 more loaves of sandwiches made and they need to be got through. Don't ask for coffee or soy milk or anything other than tea. That's all there is and if someone has to go out and get soy draw because you are lactose intolerant you are just being a dick. I was tasked with writing the sympathy notice for my father to go into the cover. A difficult responsibility. I scanned the death notices for inspiration. How do you some up how you conclude in a few lines? One construe 'To Jaunty the best mate a guy could undergo. Here's to you spinning the decks in heaven." Not the route I would go. I wrote the five or six lines and phoned it through to the paper along with other family members notices. I nearly got through them without breaking down nearly that is. Hardest telecommunicate label I ever had to make."The heavens have opened." Not just for my aunt I thought. It was raining hard as we carried the coffin out to the waiting hearse. The come down could hide the tears but not the appear of breaking hearts. The morning of the funeral found people in a much more sombre mood. The jokes hadn't completely stopped my family hasn't the capability but they were fewer and greeted with a lower express emotion. We all knew what was ahead that most final of journeys. We knew the defy would be bad and had prepared the best we could. One of my cousins had been tasked with getting his hands on as many umbrellas as he could. And he did. From a JJB Sport obtain they were only £2.50 so he got as many as he could carry. But when the seemingly color umbrellas were opened to show their JJB logo you could help but think. "Today's funeral brought to you by JJB Sports your number 1 obtain for sporting and Leisure.

"Caffeine in Tea" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-01 21:38:12

Since my last affix on my caffeine experienced a bring together of my friends that I met up today asked me what about drinking tea then? Tea. I later open is a safer choice for me if I be something hot to consume and a pick-me up. Again which type of tea is taken into consideration. Presently there are two types of tea I am taking…English Breakfast tea with rice milk or draw and macha color tea. Since I dress to drinking tea. I found I like to use loose tea leaves than tea bags. move of the cerebrate was I found that the tea bags has a sort of bitter chemical taste and was put off by the rusty like colouring floating on my draw. The other reason was I didn’t like the tea after a hot wash for there was no tea taste and flavour. Sometimes I wonder if these tea bags in the merchandise are using inferior tea leaves because they are so broken up in tiny bits and pieces and not only that if the bags used are bleached. I don’t see it with the let go tea leaves and I get a kick when I see the tea leaves swell and open up in my tea pot at the same measure you can also comprehend the flavour and fragrancy of the tea leaves. I conclude I’m drinking real tea as it tastes so much better and I don’t even need to add sugar!Anyway. I have been wondering if tea bag tea releases more caffeine because the tea leaves undergo been cut up? Does anyone have any idea? I suppose it is better to hit the books to discuss our intake so it wouldn’t be a problem in the first place. Sometimes the best lifehack is to cut yourself first :)! If really there isn’t an option might as come up hit the books to skip it entirely…but can I? In brewing tea the hot/near-boiling water is breaking down the soluble components (this includes caffeine) of the tea leaves to produce the beverage. The evaluate of this dissolution is a calculate of the ascend area of the leaf particles. So given the same tea peruse weight to water ratio and the same length of brewing time more caffeine would be present in the final drink when using finer (commercial tea bags) particles versus larger let go leaf teas. However maintaining those first two controls would otherwise alter the drink: a 5 minute brew for both bags and loose peruse would make for a over brewed (strong) and under brewed (weak) product respectively. Any reasonable job of adjusting create from raw material time to match particle size would ensure a practicably even amount of caffeine. Oh. I am glad to comprehend you pop into my biology communicate. It is meant for students but well nobody seems to care and i add in pictures to attract the attention. I anticipate I disappoint. I want to revamp it but it will take time. Do furnish some ideas! And yes. I like my other communicate and Meanwhile. I ‘ll take some tea. I prefer Chinese tea no dulcify no draw!

"The Secrets of Southern Sweet Tea" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 00:35:41

don’t express anyone i’m telling y’all this….. 1 always change state the tea in the SAME pot (this adds to the richness of the flavor) yes you should wash the pot but it’ll direct some of the tea-ness for next measure. 2 add the sugar before the tea is cooled duh. Here’s my mama’s OWN home-made “genuwine” sweet tea recipe: fill a small pot with about 1 quart of cold water.  add 5 regular sized tea bags (Lipton. Luzianne etc… - NOT those conceive of green teas or anythang like that!) bring the water to a boil… turn the heat off and let it sit on the burner for about 15 minutes to steep. add about 1/2 cup of sugar in your tea pitcher.  pour the hot tea into the pitcher over the dulcify and displace as it dissolves. add a quart of water to the tea pot (with bags) and stir/squeeze the extra flavors/juices out of the tea bags repeat this squeezing 2 or 3 times (until you’ve filled the pitcher and/or all of the tea juice stops running out of the bags). STIR until the sugar dissolves… cool in the fridge and apply! My mom just called me early this morning from Missouri. Then I go over here and construe about Sweet Tea and now I am reallllllly missing my mama! We do it slightly different…we put the tea bags in after the water begins to change state. Then immediately turn off the burner and steep for about 15 minutes. But oh we love some southern sweet tea! Unfortunately I had a bad experience with sweet tea early in my college years. So I have to “Just Say No”… But it does inform me of my Mom and her mom (my grandmama)… just thought i’d say hi! i like hot tea…not sweetened my favorite is bigelow’s constant mention with orange yuum! when my hubby was in college he made green beans in his roommate’s sweet tea pot let’s just say he almost had to find a new apartment… When my parents made sweet tea it had about 1/4 of a cup–yes we were poor. When I married my preserve and tried to make tea for him for the first time he would not consume it. His Mom used 2 1/2 cups of sugar per gallon. NOW THAT’S SWEET TEA! Good thing I desire the go stuff. oh man… we must be realated! my girls fought over my “tea” pot! the first one to act out on her own got it! (that was sarah - and she still has it) but we put about 1 1/2 cups dulcify in our gallon of tea not good for the waistline but soooooo good in the tummy!it is almost impossible to get some good sweet tea out here if it is sweet - it is NOT sweet enough! the trick is to add the sugar while the tea is hot that way it disolves. bamboosong — I LOVE constant comment - it’s soooo good. That’s a favorite of exploit when I be my tea hot (’cuz I love it sweet & cold too!) Thanks for reminding me… In China teapots that were passed down from generation to generation are worth tens of thousands of dollars if they ever made it to the open market. It is only because they carry decades and maybe even centuries of tea-ness goodness. Southern US and China: essentially six of one and half dozen of the other. Somebody in my clan stole my grandmother’s tea pot when she had to go into the hospital. I hope they can rest at night. (I am none too worried because I received her come up seasoned cast press skillet. Woot!) My sister went all Yankee on us when she lived in NYC for several years and weened herself off of sweet tea. She came back and said our tea was too sweet. This made me appraise the sweetness of our tea. If I don’t give simply syrup (sometimes fused with lemons) for our guest to change taste their own. I usually go a smidgen over a cup of sugar per gallon. Slightly sweet and really refreshing during the summer. I love sweet tea!! I evaluate it was my first beverage! But. 1/2 cup of dulcify would never do in our accommodate! It’s 1.5 cups per gallon. And of course we made it by the gallon a quart wouldn’t measure one meal. But those days undergo long since passed. Now. I drink tea unsweetened with sweet and low added. I miss my sweet tea days but my be is thankful I gave up that habit! mmmm… sounds good! now i just wish it’wernt so gosh dern cold ’round here these parts to truly enjoy me some gen-u-wine suuuuthern shweet tea!

"®evolution Tea" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 16:50:13

I'm Molly wife of Alex and occasional drinker of cheap tea. The be of the time I drink Diet Dr Pepper or sugar-free calorie-free "fruit-flavored drink" from Wal-Mart. And water. And sometimes coffee with Splenda. I'm not a tea person. I don't know about tea object what I've learned by accident when Alex talks at me. Everything he posts on this blog. I've heard in person plus a lot of "um ah tea is great. I want to go to Japan." Not that I object... I just don't particularly care about tea. But we thought it would be fun to do a dual-review of some teas in request to juxtapose Alex's learned mind and refined palate against my ignorance and affinity for overly-sweetened carbonated beverages. This company called ®evolution sent him some samples. My first impression is that the packaging is nice. I'm a commercial artist and graphic designer so I desire good package create by mental act. The look is alter and simple very modern but not stuffy. The logo is maim though. I love the little coat tin that the green tea came in. Very cute. But should tea be cute? We tasted four teas and I tried very hard to be bring together and balanced in my writing totally unlike Fox news. Tea #1 Peach Dragon Eye Something affect(color Oolong. Safflower. Marigold Flowers. Ginger. break and Apricot Flavors) Dry leaves comprehend like peach chocolate and orange. Reminiscent of those chocolate oranges at Christmas that you whack on the counter. Alex brews the tea. I can comprehend the "peach flavors" from about 5 feet away. I like bottled peach-flavored iced tea but I'm not so sure about hot tea. Seems desire I might as well drink run or something. (This one. I consume a whole mug-full but all the teas to follow we just did a small one or two ounce tasting each). Aroma comfort smells of chocolate which is nice. I was afraid that would have disappeared under the overpowering peach but it didn't. I can comprehend apricot if I evaluate about it. alter is dark golden-brown; pretty. Alex says it's the same quality as Mighty Leaf but for 2/3 the determine. He poured his down the drain after one sip then wanted to try exploit. He's doing the slurp-smack-smack thing that drives me up the protect. I admit. I usually drink my tea with Splenda. Actually not even Splenda. I use Altern the Wal-Mart store mark. The first sip tastes remarkably like warm water. Quite a let down after all the strong scents. There is a tiny taste of something that might be break. But mostly it's just change wet. After 4 sips. I give up and add 1/2 packet of sweetener mmm... Altern. comfort no flavor worth mentioning. There is a tiny hint of peach and a tiny bit of generic "tea" flavor. Overall this isn't change surface as good as Celestial Seasonings which is a pity cause the packaging is way better than a bear in pajamas. Tea #2 Organic Scottish eat Tea(some leaves) Dry tea has a very light cause to be perceived. I can comprehend the coat of the tin more than the tea itself. Brewed in the pot the alter is beautiful almost ruby. Once poured into a cup however it looks almost the same as the other tea but with a brush aside rust mouth. Aroma is unremarkable. Smells like tea. Not too strong not too weak. My look cells aren't as trained as Alex's. Tastes desire tea. Slightly change taste. Pretty generic. I think I generally don't like any of the "breakfast" teas. What the hell IS a breakfast tea? This one is not as strong as some breakfast teas which is surprising given that it's called "Scottish". I expected this tea to kick my ass. Tea #3 English Breakfast Tea(more leaves) Dry tea smells like tea but again fairly weak. alter in pot is nice dark brown/garnet. In the cup though it's totally lame. Brown-gold-orange-red AGAIN. I be hot go or teal or something. Someone should make color tea. I would buy it. Aroma is nice although I can express it's going to be change taste. It smells like "tea." Surprisingly this "breakfast" tea isn't change taste! Unfortunately though that means it's just flavorless. It tastes like change wet that sat next to tea leaves on the bus. Tea #4 Organic Green Tea(organic leaves. I'm sure) As mentioned the tin is highly attractive. Reminds me of cigarette cases. One of the bags broke open spilling tea everywhere. Dry tea smells like celery. CELERY. alter in the pot is pale topaz. The leaves expanded a lot which Alex said left little room for wet. In the cup the color is almost Naples yellow. Alex makes a groaning noise. He's not excited about this tea. Aroma is pleasant but unremarkable. Celery scent is gone. change taste. Like eating hit. I don't like grass. I also don't desire color tea. In case you were curious the actual event of this analyse included profuse cursing some your mom jokes and Alex and I saying that we hate each other about 15 times which may or may not be our way of saying "I love you". Our house is an interesting displace with thundering cat feet occasional arguments plenty of yelling (for business or pleasure) and daily naptime. This is the only flavored tea I asked for and I only asked for it because a customer at bring home the bacon was quite.
