We declared our independence from England and kicked their butts in the war. Maybe they should be learning something from us. I've found nothing stimulating about the English and their stiff upper lips.

Funny thing about the English Muffins, they aren't from England. Jan had never seen or heard of them until moving to the states.

OK now you've made me curious...had to look it up. Interesting.

English Muffins - Food Reference Food Facts

I love them toasted with peanut butter on them for breakfast.

I'm sure that your wife also knows the difference between "high" and "low" tea...it drives me nuts when people think that "high" tea is "high" class an that "low" tea is for the plebeians or whatever. I think that people are really stupid sometimes. In some places in the states they even serve "high" tea because they are trying to be all uppity and such. I truly do despair.

I'll have to ask when she gets home, but I had to look it up. She does call dinner time "tea time", that goes right along with the "high" and "low". High tea for sitting at a high table and low for, yep, a low table mainly in the afternoon in a sitting room of sorts. This goes back to Victorian times.

Yeah, I knew it had to do with the height of the table and not some weird idea of "high" and "low" social bs.

Speaking of tea...Sweden and I hit this open market last saturday in Jönköping. This vendor had a killer selection of loose leaf tea's. I smuggled home a few pounds of the stuff. Apricot, grapefruit, blackberry, blueberry just to name a few. We also bought fresh strawberries. We went home and each ate a bowl of berries with a dab of icecream and a cup of low tea (which I've never heard of until now).

"We" being settled colonials ... kicked the Kings mens butts back to England. Please get it right.

Of course everyone knows the real reason the English went home was because theres way too much grass to mow over here !!!
