Not my cup of tea...

[autographedcat]

So this morning, having finished my first cup of tea and still feeling somewhat hung over, I shuffled into the kitchen for a second. There's a ritual to this, more mundane than the Japanese ceremony variety, but a ritual none the less. Put the kettle on to boil, fetch a teabag from the PG Tips box and drop it into the cup. Pour the boiling water into the cup and let it steep for a few minutes. Take the cup over to the counter, two teaspoons. Milk. Start to walk back to my desk, sip.....

Choke.

I really don't think that hot salted tea is going to be a taste sensation that is sweeping the country anytime soon. Good grief, I was really out of it this morning.

I remember my Grandmother doing much the same. Except it was the whole sugar-bowl. Us kids got told off for complaining that our cereal tasted bad, until one of the grownups tasted what was in their drink...

Heh. I really don't see where I could have gotten mixed up. The sugar is in a big quart-sized canister. The kosher salt is in a small glass bowl with a lid. They aren't remotely similar.

Ohhhh sweetie. *grin* On the up side (?!?) I bet you were quite awake after that.
