April Sipdown Prompt – enjoy a Rat Lunch! Grilled cheese and black tea

Today was the day for rat lunch, enjoyed outside before doing a bit of seed planting and gardening. Sandwich was a combination of Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar and plain old orange grocery store cheddar for stretchiness. Bread – Dave’s Good Seed.

This tea is so good. There are so many flavors listed, but as usual the French are great at combining many elements and getting a final product that isn’t muddy. This is fresh and elegant, so when the cheese sandwich was all gone, I finished the pot with Fortnum & Mason Florentines that were a birthday gift last month. The tea goes equally well with meals, sweets, or as a stand alone cup.

I bet that Dave’s bread made a good grilled cheese. I don’t do sipdown counts, but that prompt might be too good to pass up!

That’s far too fancy for a rat! You should upgrade to guinea pig or adorable hamster.

A local bread outlet sells Dave’s for $2 a loaf. I was one happy camper when I found out! We watch for Tillamook to go BOGO and stock up. So…a penny stretching rat!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
