I love Iced Tea in the summer. And I love it with some sugar and fresh squeezed lemons. Since the weather in IL has been rainy for the last month I haven't been able to make sun tea. So instead I heat up water for tea in my cheery red tea kettle. I like having the tea bags in the kettle while it boils so I get every last drop o' tea out of the tea bag. Frugal yes....smart....well I thought so, until this happened.
While cooking a lovely dinner I asked Sweet Husband, "Do you smell that? Does it smell like something is burning?" Sweet Husband sniffed the air and agreed something was burning. I checked the oven. Negative. I checked the pasta I was boiling. Negative. Then I looked at the tea kettle....the papers on the tea bag were on fire. Sweet Husband came to the rescue and put out the fire for me. Lesson Learned: keep a shorter string on the tea bags.
