In deference to dear 'ol Dad, and his Discovery Channel-worthy episodes on his Tea, I thought I'd do a little 'research', and put together a who's-who list of famous folks who share Dad's enthusiasm for the rich dark stuff ...
Perhaps the recipe was passed down from the 13 Lamas that came before him. Who knows? In spending a good chunk of your life in meditation, I'm sure you can come up with some very interesting stuff. A stout cup certainly is enough to get the robes flowing in the morning.
She has no doubt found a place in many a man's heart (and stomach) as she brought forth yummy 30 minute meals with the speed and demeanor of a chipper chipmunk, but perhaps the secret to her gravitas lies in something a little more off the trail. You know those Food Network types - always trying something off the wall, or maybe in the ground?
Some folks just like to have it on the go
Perhaps The World is not Enough for this strapping chap. Here we see him grinning as he gulps it down by the Goblet-ful. I'm sure with all the worldly travel he's done On His Majesty's Secret Service, he's sure to have picked up the love of a delicacy or two. After all when you have A License to Kill, you can Live and Let Die all those nay-sayers. And what's with the Lion on the forehead, ole boy?
Speaking of Her Majesty, might I suggest a spot a lemon with that?
Ehh - just goes to show you have to know when to say when. When you start looking like a worm, you know you've had to much.
And it truly would not be a Tea Party without this guy showing up.
Uh, yeah - soooo appetizing. Might have been brewed for a bit too long (like four years too long).
MIke, great account of some past and present tea enthusiasts.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I noticed a passive support for the "Wild-Cat" strike currently underway over at Manual-Mater-Maker. I see no mention or photos of maters in your posting. Have you crossed over to the Dark Side in opposition to my recent mater-lacking photo postings? Or is this a coincidental sudden interest in famous tea drinkers?
Don't be lured into thinking that the Mater-Master is down and out. Today is the "Great Unveiling" of mater meets worm tea potion. An episode of captivating video produced for your viewing enjoyment. Certainly a documentary you won't want to miss.
It will mark a new phase in "The Great Tomato Race." Heads will turn, eyes will roll and it will strike fear into the hearts of the race competitors. But most of all, it will give my maters the "super-powers" of Mamma Nature.
