Sorry you didn't get more posts from me this week, but we've been sick. Sick. Sick. Sick.
Lily started to get snotty on Monday, and it's gone down hill from there, with me feeling really super yucky all day Thursday, and Friday. So needless to say I haven't really been feeling like posting. Or even reading, or doing much of anything really.
All I want to do is drink tea.
I pretty much stink at making tea though.
You would think, that I would be capable of boiling water. But a few weeks ago I actually managed to put a kettle on the stove to boil... until all the water boiled away. That's right, it all evaporated. But the stove was still on, and so I managed to burn my kettle. You could say I managed to burn water.
And if that doesn't seem unbelievable enough. I've done this, not once, but TWICE, since then.
And yet, I keep attempting to make tea. Especially right now, when the warm goodness makes my throat feel so much better.
Why don't you just microwave it, you ask? Well, there's something so much tastier about tea when the water comes from a kettle, all Martha Stewart-ish and such. (Even when the kettle is now somewhat yellowish in color, with permanent burn marks on the bottom.) And besides, I hate having a screaming hot handle on my mug when I microwave it.
So I'll just keep putting the kettle on. And forgetting about it. I figure I make tea an average of one or two times a day, so I've only burned it about 3 out of 30 times.
Those odds aren't all that bad.

If I didn't use my kitchen timer I would burn everything...including water. I actually have two timers now; one for the stove and one for the oven in case I have both going at once.
doesn't your kettle have a whistle?
I make my hot tea in my coffee pot.
4 tea bags in the basket for the coffee and 8 cups cold water. Perfect tea every time.
