Just right...

Driving home from the gym today I got a craving for iced tea.  So when I got home, I boiled up a pot of water with 2 earl grey bags and 1 overly sweet pomegranate bag.  Steeped it for something like 15 minutes, let it cool a bit, then diluted it out and added ice.  Stuck it in the fridge to cool completely.

(Sidenote:  you know you have a toddler when you check the pitcher for crayon marks before using it.)

The verdict: near perfection.  I probably could have gone with another pomegranate bag, too.  The flavor is pretty faint.  I tossed in a small spoonful of splenda and I am a happy monkey.  Or fairy.  Or grownup, depending on the whims of my child.  (If I dare to say "Arrr!" to her, she declares, "No, you're not a pirate!  Daddy and TRex are pirates!  You're a grownup!")

I give...

I admit it...

I am weak.

I turned on the air conditioner.

It's 89 degrees outside, and 83 in the house.  Not supposed to get below 70 tonight, supposed to be 90 again tomorrow.  It will go off again Wednesday night or Thursday, when the highs drop back into the mid 70s.
