I looked all over Boise (sort of) to find a new tea pot. We drink a lot of iced tea year round. With the holidays coming too, I needed a bigger one. After getting very frustrated I found one online! It's BIG, 75 ounces/9 cups and I found it here- Englishteastore.com It arrived today, perfect, well packed, along with a few other goodies- 2 big mugs, with the corporate logo ($2.00 each), some Scottish breakfast tea, and a pack of English cookies. I really like different black teas, so this is a new one. I LOVE the tea pot!!! It's no-drip and has an extra loop (on the left) to carry the heavy pot-
Anya liked Dave's choice of cold beverages :)
Record Cold-
This morning it was 4 degrees, a record low for this date. Thankfully no wind at all. I was dressed in thick socks, a warm sweater and cord slacks at work. Toasty! Other people complained about the cold in very fashionable, thin clothes and warm weather shoes. Really? I guess you can't tell people- dress for the weather. And driving? The road has what I call crap snow- hard packed, icy s**t that's not level, but lumpy bumpy. Lots of fun to drive in to work :) The HIGH today was 14. It's supposed to warm up a bit over the next 3 days, with another 2"- 4" of snow Friday night. Once it hits the upper 30's this will hopefully melt. I'm off on a furlough week all next week, so whatever happens I'm good! Now if I could just scrape the frozen chicken poo off the roosting area. Pretty gross looking, but at least they're laying!!! I have so many fresh eggs, it's great...
Your new teapot is simply beautiful. Makes me wish I were a big tea drinker - but it is coffee for me! Don't wish for warming up - after hitting -19 here, we are warming up and it is a mess. 14 inches of snow melting into slush that refreezes at night - you know how it goes...
ReplyDeleteWe too broke a weather record. I wonder what next winter will be like.
ReplyDeleteI love that teapot! It is so nice having the extra handle. And Scottish Breakfast tea is my favorite. OMG, you are even colder than we are! I am not ready for that kind of dip in the temps. Hope you all stay warm.
ReplyDeleteIt's warming up a tad, with more snow tomorrow, then in the upper 30's this weekend, a tropical heat wave! I think it may be a colder, snowier winter. But I like a "snow day" now and then :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blue teapot!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
