I read, a lot, of almost everything. Sci-fi, fantasy, history, science, cookbooks, biographies and anything that catches my eye.

I play RPGs, both table top and LOTRO.

I like to cook, but I love baking.

I crochet. In fact, I belong to a crocheting guild and have recruited others to join. No, I don't make sweaters. I make household goods, almost exclusively.

I like some TV. Cooking shows are probably my favorite. I have a not so secrete crush on Alton Brown. But it's okay, I think my very straight husband does as well. British sci-fi is also great.

Oooh, RPGs are my favorite video games and I used to play tabletop RPGs once upon a time.

British Sci Fi huh... might Doctor Who be included in that?

I am in the most funnest band in the universe (it says so on our business card).

I like to make websites. Lots and lots of websites.

I love writing and have written some really great books, short stories, poems, songs, etc.

I really enjoy listening to people. In college I used to go to the Non Traditional Student Lounge or the International Student Lounge and just listen to random strangers and coax their stories out of them. (learned a lot more than I ever could have from all those professors and projects)

I have tried with only limited success, to convince those on this side of the pond of the miraculous powers of tea, not just for personal benefit, but also for solution of various problems of society....

Tell me - milk before or after pouring, or no milk at all?

[dakid]

the thing about milk comes from the days when tea was drunk from fine china cups, having been brewed from loose leaves in a pot. the china was so fragile that if you poured boiling-hot or just-boiled water into them without milk already in the cup they would crack or shatter with painful consequences. the rule "milk before tea" stuck around long after people stopped making tea that way, though, as it became a kind of etiquette or class-snobbery thing.

personally i rarely use a pot, and even more rarely do i use loose-leaves or fine china cups. on special ocassions, but very rarely.

i use teabags, and large (one pint if that makes anything to you?) mugs so its not such an issue. i prefer not to put the milk in for a good five minutes or so because i like the tea strong and once you add milk the teabag tends to stop giving out tea for some reason. also because i am impatient and it cools quicker if you wait before adding the milk.

i use oat or soya milk these days since developing lactose-intolerant irritable bowel syndrome, and no sugar. you?
