How do the British Make Tea? Absolutely Not Like You Think We Do
Love this! This is how I make a cup of tea! As a Brit living in the States I do have to laugh at the multitudes of "British" teas available, as well as contraptions for making the perfect cup. While my tea bags do have the strings on them, ...

How do the British Make Tea? Absolutely Not Like You Think We Do
Oh no no no no milk before water ;) If there is more than two people drinking tea, I use a teapot to save on teabags and sometimes if I know I'm going to be drinking a lot (like when I used to pull allnighters).

Dustytoes - Dandelions are a terrible diuretic, but very healthy in other ways. Plus you can make coffee out of them. Good choice!

Federal Judge Rules the Death Penalty Unconstitutional in California
I had considered that particular nuance - and was going to discuss it with you when you were back - so it's good to have it confirmed. :) I thought it was all indirectly leading to that too.
You've quite shocked me with the laissez faire ...
