I never went to sleep last night. Drinking copious amounts of tea kept me wired all night long. This morning at 5:00 I drove downtown to wander around. The Republic of Texas bikers must’ve had one hell of a party, 6th street was covered in plates and cups and other trash. The street sweepers were out vacuuming it all up in huge swaths. I went to IHOP for breakfast, it’s been so long since I’ve had bacon and eggs. Pancakes too, for that matter.
It seems I have two winning solutions to iced tea. The teabag-in-cold water was a nice deep caramel color this morning and tasted nice. Apparently the trick is to let the stuff just sit for several hours. The slight bitterness of the hot brewed tea disappeared too. I’m not sure how I can improve upon these yet, these are certainly acceptable. They go nice on a warm day like today.
