The only thing I can think of that is funny now is a visit with my in-laws about 10 years ago. My sister in law pulled out her lovely "huge" and apparently "bottomless" teapot and beautiful tea cups all excited about her new favorite tea. It was raspberry tea, as we sat there visiting every time I took a small sip there she was pouring more in even though I said several times "oh no thank you, I'm fine". Add in the fact that she had left the leaves in the pot and it got stronger and more bitter as the days went on, ok,you caught me, I'm pretty sure it only felt like days. Now I didn't want to hurt her feelings or my sweet mother in laws by saying I didn't like it because they were so excited to introduce me to a new tea. So I slowly sipped, she added and so on and so on until finally the gallons of tea that kept coming out of her pot were gone. By the time we left I was queazy as all getout and to this day I can not drink or eat anything that even hints of raspberry. I know I should have been honest and told them "this is not my cup of tea" but they are so dog gone sweet I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings for anything.
This morning I am drinking a simple black tea out of a Shelley Spring Bouquet tea cup. Have a good rest of the weekend everyone.
