Sounds like a good reason to me. I know I like Newman's Sockarooni
Spaghetti Sauce because of his blue eyes. ;-)

resp:218 I do that all of the time. I have liked eating oatmeal since I
was child because it's fun to pretend it is the gruel served at the
Lowood School in Jane Eyre. Of course Paul Newman's eyes could sell just
about anything. :)
resp:219 Whenever she talks about drinking red bush tea, she is talking
about rooibos tea. I always found the little arguments between her and
Mma Makutsi about regular tea vs black tea to be very amusing.

I wonder if there are any new books out in the series that I haven't
read yet. And yep, red bush tea is the same as rooibos tea. :-)

McCall Smith seems to put one out every spring. I am actually a couple
behind and have not yet read the two most recent installments:
Tea Time for the Traditionally Built
The Double Comfort Safari Club
I might have to see if the library has either one available.

There was one season on TV based on the first few books of this series.
If you missed it, then check it out from Netflix. :-)

I've just finished watching it. I thought that HBO did a nice job
capturing the spirit of the books. I liked that they filmed it in
Gaborone too.

I was in Hyde Park a few weeks ago. The temptation to have tea at the
Orangery on the Kensington Palace patio overcame us. That was, until we
saw this supposedly posh lil scam's layout. What an overpriced joke.
Tell you what...just buy some black tea across the street from London Tower
and take it home.

I am sure there are plenty of reasonably priced tea shops in London
though.

It is hard to beat Irish Breakfast (a black tea, pekoe cut, with a large,
malty, complex flavor, and decent caffiene content) brewed at 180F in a muslin
bag (yes, I can be anal about some foods).

I like Irish Breakfast tea though it's been awhile since I've had any.
Though I had an English version the other day.
