Water in the MW. I use a clean smooth sided glass jug (1/2 liter) and I watch it from the window while I train my patience. I stop it the moment I see a bubble. I know that it is keeping most of the gases inside because when I put in the thermometer, tiny bubbles form, as in a pot over the gas. As I will get an electric heater soon, I will compare. With MW it is slower because MW can pump about 1kW while electric heaters arrive to 2.5. That is why I decided to have one more item to clutter my kitchen. To day I will also have the task to find a place for the new tea packages that for the moment are resting in the original plastic bag, hanging from a kitchen chair. The packages that have been opened are sporting a clothespin. I was thinking of a shoe box that would keep all the packages neatly arranged. Of those, thanks to Wife, there is no shortage. To do that I have to empty a corner cupboard and rearrange everything in it. With the pilotBob's diet I have changed my eating habits and ingredients, obviously (the pastas and the rices have reduced to almost nothing as I do not eat starch anymore, just a couple of packages for the girls). I imagine that, when things start to go steady, there will be a metal box or two for the teas that I will use more commonly (a black and a green I imagine), plus a number of little packages holding curiosities or special treats. But there is time for that.

G&G (girls and guys). Learning to drink tea in your company has been very pleasant. I still have a number of things to go through, and hopefully a whole wide world to explore (the masala chai that AM has mentioned twice recently, for instance). I will do it draping over me that British aplomb that does not belong to me but that seems to be a useful scene costume while enjoying the brew. Noblesse oblige.

I am taking the liberty of karming you for your competence and kindness. Have a good Sunday, all of you.
