For those of you who know me well, you are quite familiar with my great dislike for the warm tasteless liquid known as tea. I have never liked the stuff and have always said I never will. However, having a cold has apparently destroyed my tastebuds and in seeking comfort for my sore throat, I turned reluctantly toward tea. I am pretty sure all of our food money for the year is being spent on tea because we have a whole cupboard full of different kinds. I decided to try the apple cinnammon flavour because I quite like apples and cinnammon and thought it would be the least tea-ish. So I made myself a cup with a reasonable two spoons of sugar and I prepared for the worst as I tasted it...but...stop the presses...I liked it!!
That cup has been followed by at least one and somtimes two each day. Now the jury is still out as to whether this new found appreciation is only because it is soothing or if it is a genuine love of the stuff. On one hand, I am sad that tea is starting to taste good because in a weird way, I have prided myself in disliking it. When the table was set for breakfast, my spot was always the one without the mug for tea. Now I will be just like all the other tea-loving people in the world! (I would like to point out however, that I have only tried three kinds and Earl Grey is still thoroughly disgusting) On the other hand, if I truly like tea, this will allow me to avoid potentially awkward situations in the "adult" world when a host will ask me whether I would like tea or coffee, and I will no longer have to force a third option which they did not prepare for.
My cold is almost over and I don't know if I will crave that tea taste once my throat is no longer raw. I will keep you posted. But for now, I have joined the tea drinking ranks. Mom, if you are reading this, you are probably proud that I have learned to enjoy your favourite drink. This is officially my first act of becoming more adult now that I'm not at home. Just let me ask for juice once in a while.

Lindsay,
I will gladly set a cup for you when you are home and perhaps we can even take in the Jasmine Tea Room! Get well soon. We love you and miss you. Say hi to Jordan, too. Stay close to God and know we are praying for you everyday.
Love Mom
Now we can go to tim horton's and get tea together!!lol
It's about time! Now I am waiting for the post entitled, "This one's for my brothers and father - how I learned to love fish." It only took you 19 years to like tea, and I know that you secretly like mushrooms, so maybe for your 40th birthday I'll take you out to Joey's Only.
Jordans Dad just bought a new state of the art tea pot from cuppers....we will drink tea together... except he bought organic Black Tea!? YOu will have to taste it for yourself. Take care and have fun at the dance!!! Miss your smiling face.
Jordans Mom.
Lindsay I am waiting the day when I will read a blog titled "This ones for you Dad", and in it you extol the virtues of coffee drinking. This would be a sure sign that you have truly arrived in the adult world.
Love Dad
