Yesterday afternoon, as I was driving home from the dentist (a cracked tooth will need a root canal and then a crown. Ouch!) I got caught in rain. Not a little rain. No, it was a deluge that would have caused Noah’s Ark to capsize. I couldn’t see the front of my car. I managed to pull off into a fast food place parking lot and wait out the heaviest of the rain. I got home and by the time I walked from my car to the apartment door, I was soaked. I left wet footprints all down the hall to my apartment. I made a pot of this old favorite. So warm, so tasty. I really do enjoy this one, and with low caffeine I can drink it around supper time and not worry about not being able to sleep. Let’s hear it for “comfort teas”!

Tea is a must after getting drenched.

By the way, I have a chicken named Maddy! She is one of my favorites and is quite the rascal. She gets out of the pen all the time – I am sure she is flying over the tall fence, but she always trots obediently at my heels and goes back in when I tell her to she must. Her real name is Madeline because she is a French Cuckoo Marans. She is sweet and adorable little doll even if she is a rascal.

Maddy sounds like a sweetheart! I’ve never heard of a French Cuckoo Marans. I have friends who have Rhode Island Reds. That’s about the extent of my chicken knowledge! LOL

Bio

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.
