There is big blog news to be announced soon! Yippee!

The Nectar of the Southern Gods

Growing up, I never liked iced tea.  It was never really around like the oh-so-familiar sodas and juices. 

Then, I moved to The South and BAM!  Iced tea is EVERYWHERE! But I was quickly corrected by a waitress – “You mean sweet tea?”

Right.

I still never really ordered it, but the boyfriend did.  I occasionally would take a sip here and there of his tea, and before I knew it I was hooked!   That stuff is awesome!  And I can’t get enough!

Then something very serious happened.  I witnessed a waitress making a batch of sweet tea.  It went a little something like this.  Water + sugar + sugar + more and more BAGS of SUGAR!  I knew there had to be sugar in it to be sweet, but I never knew there was THAT much sugar!  It was a sad, sad day in Sweet Tooth Town.

 Mmmmmm 

Then, I was let in on a little secret. Half sweet/Half unsweet.   Just as delish…but is this considered a sin in the South?  Just don't tell Paula Deen....

 "Oh no you di'nt, y'all!"

I can now move on with my life…one half and half Nectar of the Southern Gods at a time.

White-Out

Since I work in the medical field, white-out is a no-no.  I needed to make a correction to a printed document before I made a billion copies, so I was on the hunt.  Word on the street was that one of the managers upstairs had some.  So I went into her office and the conversation went a little like this:

ME:    Hi, do you have any white-out?

HER:  What?

ME:    Do you have any white-out?

HER:  Do I have any what?

ME:    White-out?  Like the white stuff you put over mistakes on paper?

HER:  Ooooh, White-out!

ME:    Yeah!

HER:  Honey, where are you from?!

I’m pretty sure she thought I was speaking Chinese.
She says, "whyyyyt-at".  Next time I will ask for, "liquid paper" or maybe "correction fluid"?
