(Now I sound like an old dog, huh?!!) My mom always put a pot of tea on the dinner table and will make it every morning too. We had to drink our milk first, then we could have some tea. I don't know why I didn't continue that tradition, but when it gets cold out, I occasionally remember to put the kettle on and it is so comforting!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529749426074359749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029086259913464331.post-38567823411135256072007-10-12T16:46:00.000-04:002007-10-12T16:46:00.000-04:00Wow, I guess I've been in the dark.

Bleeeeck! He's on target for most of the other advice except for not liking tea from China. Since tea originated in China, it is odd he was so critical.
