I tried this earlier and found it a little too sharp/sour so I decided to make the rest of the pot into iced tea. Just spent half hour preparing tonight’s dinner (mushroom potato bake) and the weather is very muggy which is making me sweat, though this has only been fridged for a few hours I decided to have it anyway. Anything moderately cold right now will be a saviour. Plus I’m a little P"ssed at my husband, he showed no appreciation towards me preparing dinner at all, conversation was “What’s for dinner?” “I made mushroom potato bake, took half an hour of prep time but uses up some potatoes at least”. He looks at the bake before I put it into the oven with a very blank expression and says “ok”, then he turns around and goes to his laptop. :/ Plus I did several lots of clothes washing and drying today which was another “ok” reply, no thanks or anything. sigh.

Anyway the tartness is softer now it’s cold making it preferable. Also the fruit seems stronger.

Pff! Underappreciation for sure. If someone could come here and do my laundry and fix dinner for me right now I would probably weep out of sheer gratitude.

Anna, I feel the same way!

In my household I cook if someone does the dishes. I don’t have to do dishes much though as I am the one who whips the meals up. No recipes just try to create. Kitty sometimes us old men can be a little preoccupied with things and therefore don’t always at the moment appreciate things. I am sure he will come around. We are just a strange breed us men are…

Anna

We’re all human. Men don’t have more of a right, nor a propensity to be ‘preoccupied with things’ than women do.

Agreed Anna we just take longer to let it surface sometimes:).

No offense meant to anyone.

Anna

None taken, but I still don’t buy what you’re saying, nor that men or women would be different ‘breeds’.

He thanked me after he ate dinner and said it was very nice. He even offered to make a pot of tea afterwards so he probably sensed I was non too pleased with him. Things worked out in the end :) Now my focus is on my driving lesson later today. Very nervous!

Anna

Aww, <3 Good luck today!

In my house the boyfriend-creature and I each do our own laundry and split the cooking and cleaning chores – might be something to consider in the future. :)

Hope the driving test went well!

Profile

Bio

I’m 34 years old from Leicester, England named Kayleigh.

I started off many years ago drinking herbal and fruit teas which over time peaked my interest in trying new types. Eventually I began to import and sample many different teas and cultures which I still do today. My life goal is to try as many teas and ways of having tea as possible.

Tea wise my cravings change constantly from pu erh one month to jasmine green to the next and so on.

I also enjoy watching Japanese Anime and horror films.

I am always up for tea swaps so if you see anything in my virtual cupboard then please contact me.

A short list to help swapping with me easier though honestly I am not fussy and am willing to try anything. Plus the notes below are usually, sometimes I love a tea that has an ingredient I tend to dislike and other times I hate a tea that I thought I would love.

Likes: Any fruit but especially melon and orange, vanilla, all tea types (black, green, white etc), nuts (any), flowers, ginger, chai.

Dislikes: Licorice, aniseed, clove, eucalyptus, lavender.

My rating system
I have my own way of rating teas that makes each one personal. I have different categories, I rate each tea depending on what it is made of. For example: I rate green teas in a different way to black teas or herbal teas. So black, white, green, Pu Erh, Rooibos, Oolong, blends and tisanes all have their own rating system. That way I can compare them with other teas of the same or similar type before for an adequate rating. And when I do give top marks which is very rare I am actually saying that I would love to drink that tea all day, every day if possible. It’s a tea that I would never turn down or not be in the mood for. So while I agree that no tea is 100% perfect (as nothing is) I am saying that it’s as close as it comes to it. After all, in my book the perfect teas (or close to perfect anyway) are ones that I could drink all the time. That is why you will find a high quality black or Oolong will not have as high a score as a cheap flavoured blend, they are simply not being compared in the same category.
