Day 80

August 15th, 2018 at 09:22 am

Payday. I have decided to make Thursday my shopping day (in case there is a delay in my benefit going into the bank) so will withdraw money and hit the stores tomorrow.

I did give a koha of $1 at the Knit Squad today. We meet at the community rooms and today the community gardens had put a box of leeks there for people to help themselves. I didn't want to be greedy so only took one and made leek and potato soup for dinner which will last me 3 days.

I have been occupying myself with finding out how many cups of tea I can get from one teabag. I take it without milk and sugar so don't like it too strong. I can get 3 cups by putting the teabag in the cold water then heating it for 3 minutes in the microwave.

    Good plan on using what you can find. And reusing tea bags is an economical way to enjoy your brew.

    If you like tea, you might enjoy the tradition of making tea English style. The details are on You Tube but in a nutsshell, start with heating water, swishing it in a tea pot to warm the vessel. Add tea + hot water to steep, reaching the depth of flavour/color preferred. Depending on the size of the pot, you'll get at least 4 tea cup sized servings. It's enhanced with a thin slice of lemon . Green Tea [not actually Green] is purported to be very healthy.
