Anonymouswizard's Random Banter #227 and Free Cup of Tea

[Peelee]

Ain't nothing like I nice warm fragrant cop of tea when you're having trouble sleeping or having a spell of anxiety.

Agreed. And, in that same vein, ain't nothing like a nice glass of ice-cold sweet tea when you sit down in a nice chair to relax or just finished working up a sweat. One of the best little joys in the world, I tell ya.

True, but over here we tend to like our tea to have a good taste.

[Peelee]

If you like it to have a good taste, then why do you drink the stuff you do? Is it like Xykon, you like good tea but you always drink bad tea because it makes you remember what good tea tastes like?

were is "over here" and what is your definition of good taste?

That...is an actual reason to drink sweet tea.
wonderful, I now have a way to insult my southern friends properly about their diabetes juice that they insist on calling tea.
I do seriously wonder about such thing...like how snapple became a thing which I presume is derived from an attempt to mass market such a beverage.

The reason I put sugar in my tea is because without it it tastes like dirt

Imean, if you call "i am rubber you are glue" a "proper way to insult people", then sure.

Oh, also, if your only experience to sweet tea is Snapple, then I can kind of see where you're coming from. That's like eating McDonalds and saying "how can people claim steak tastes good, I've had beef before!"

If you claim to like tea, why do you instead drink a glass of sugar with a small amount of water?

[Bartmanhomer]

Ooh, I love the bullystopper archetype

I know right. If alignment were real I would be Chaotic Good. I just can't stand bullies.

Look, there's a reason that one of the most famous and popular examples of British cuisine is food from India. Y'all can't make edible concoctions good on your own. Don't make me come over there and open up a barbecue restaurant. Or a fried chicken restaurant. Or a cajun restaurant. Or a creole restaurant.

Where do you think the tea comes from?

Tea comes from the ground;)

British cuisine is amazing...well was...lots of herbs saffron, careful roasts, game, gravies, etc.
etc etc...

It also basically nuked itself in the industrial revolution when purchasing power fell through the floor, industrialized food was invented, and all the food and water was seasoned with human waste and needed to be boiled to prevent your GI track falling out, running away, and possibly attacking a Frenchman or saucy sheep.

thank you for inserting this horrible image in my mind

[Peelee]

Imean, there's knowing about it, and then there's making it your own. British tea is definitely British. It's like if you fed a British person seafood, and they went home and said "that was great! We should have seafood. Clearly, the best thing to do is pair it with potatoes. Like, a lot of potatoes. More potatoes than seafood, that's what the people really want when they want seafood. They want potatoes."

I mean I like black tea without sugar.

We're getting better, and some organisations have made massive efforts to rediscover and preserve those old recipes. I have a National Trust cookbook devoted to showing the variety of English food.

Plus, desserts. We have some amazing sweet dishes to the point that the Americans tried to claim one without altering it. Plus the only desert to sound like an STI that I know of. But we need like, thirty more years to get good savoury back.

Well what carbs would you pair with sea bass?

All this talk about plant life that you may or may not be silly for eating got me peckish, so I went to go buy groceries. On the way I took... many pictures of flowers, cause my home is ridiculously cool about putting up flowers everywhere.

Here is a sampling: https://lazodiac.tumblr.com/post/622...%C2%BD-flowers

Those familiar with my book might recognize the general feel of "flowers just kinda everywhere", hehe

Isn't that fish pie?

To be fair, there is no such thing as "too much potato".

Beyond the great ice wall there's a floral wonderland?

Huh.

So... Your home has a hellish day-night cycle, but is also covered in beautiful floral arrangements?

You live in a strange place. Not bad strange, but... strange.

We get near 24 hour sun in the summer, so it isn't hard to make flowers grow quite plentifully!

Yup! As a specific note, almost every lamp post has those big buckets on them, and almost every building has the big boxes in front of them. The commercial area of town is covered in flowers and it's kind of great!

Regarding tea – I tried iced tea without sugar and it wasn't great, though I never put sugar in hot tea. But it's too hot these days for hot tea.

Sounds like it would drag on

I'm off to bed, for some reason. Probably to set of I can get that sexy dream about [redacted] again.

Also, because it came up in conversation with my girlfriend(? I need a better term than 'woman in dating'( earlier, I should probably actually watch The Crying Game. Still longing for the days where we can meet up and do that thing people do on the First of May (although inside).

(back in the '90's my use of this term had one of my riding buddies laugh and say "You sound like a '70's R&B singer!")

That's a terrible description of Styx!

[...]because it came up in conversation with my girlfriend(? I need a better term than 'woman in dating')[..].

Off the top of my head:

"lady love",

"paramour",

"my intended",

"my sweetheart",

"my honey"

"my sweetie"

"my lady"
