Decided to pull this out for this evening’s tea. It is darned cold here so I’m wearing a pair of handknit wool socks, a flannel granny nightie and my heavy robe. I’ve spent most of the evening sipping tea and knitting while I watched the Packers/Cardinals game. I was born in Milwaukee, so you can imagine how tragic I think the Packer loss is. Sigh. It was a heck of a game even if we did lose.

I have enough of this tea left to make one more cup. maybe tomorrow night. I’m not sure I can force myself to drive to church tomorrow. The wind chill is -38 F now, and is expected to be between -45 and -50 tomorrow morning. There’s not enough tea in the world to keep me warm outside tomorrow.

OMGsrsly

Your weather = a big NOPE from me! :)

It never got that cold! When I drove to church it was -26, but the wind was only 3 mph, so the wind chill was only -27.

Yeah, I guess “only” -26 is pretty silly to say. But it IS better than -40 wind chill!

Nope! :) It’s hovering around 5C here. A fridge is 4C. That’s cold enough for me!

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
