If someone says, hey, you know, this long weekend, let’s go skydiving – I would say, no, are you nuts? I’d just as soon sit down and have a cup of tea.
I love a good cup of tea and you can never have too many mugs. Even better if it’s homemade pottery, inspired by ‘The Great Pottery Throw Down.’
Humour has always been my cup of tea.
I use Stevia instead of sweetener. I add it to coffee or tea instead of sugar – you can even cook with it. The vanilla flavor is to die for!
It’s important when you’re married not to forget those things you used to do when you were trying to get her to marry you. You can’t send flowers and buy gifts then, when you’re married, say, ‘Right, get my tea on’. That doesn’t go down well. So you’ve got to keep that level of interest going.
I am not religious, but I still feel there is a sacredness about Mothering Sunday, even when I’m just enjoying a lie-in and a cup of tea from my boys.
My favourite Korean food is delicious black five-layered pork belly, cooked over a charcoal grill. And Jeju chocolate, in citrus fruits and green tea flavour, which is famous throughout Korea.
On the issues the Tea Party cares about, I land right in their bull’s-eye.
My perfect day starts with putting on the teapot. Then I have tea in my favorite ‘Golden Girls’ mug and watch ‘The Daily Show.’
I don’t possess a filmi temperament. I do feel sometimes that it is not my cup of tea. So I stick to people who I vibe with mentally.
Green tea is my main source of caffeine, so I drink it every day.
In London, love and scandal are considered the best sweeteners of tea.
I pretty much only drink water, Tazo passion tea, or coffee with half and half, and it’s an ongoing joke in the office that I never have less than three glasses of water and some form of tea or coffee in front of me.
The Tea Party movement itself is maybe 15, 20 percent of the electorate. It’s relatively affluent, white, nativist. You know, it has rather traditional nativist streaks to it. But what is much more important, I think, is the – is its outrage.
First of all, just because the Tea Party people appear to be generally uneducated, ignorant about the political process, ignorant about economics, confused about their own platform from the beginning, and indelicate when it comes to the craft of diplomacy, doesn’t mean they’re wrong.
I always take a teapot with me on tour. I suppose it’s only natural that I’ve just written a song called ‘Where Would We Be Without Tea?’
There’s absolutely nothing irrational about me; insane, yes, irrational, no. But my dumbest fear would be spinning in the magic tea cups. Who the hell wants to pay to spin around like a bent yoyo for laughs?
I received endorsements from Tea Party to moderates alike. And I think that’s unique, and that’s something I’m proud of.
Those who use tobacco, tea and coffee should lay these idols aside, and put their cost into the treasury of the Lord.
I make homemade juices with whatever is in season. I rarely have coffee, but I drink lots of tea. I start with a pot of tea at home and sip on herbal teas throughout the day at work.
I was raised Catholic, and my grandmother taught me to stay. As a teenager, I thought if you went on a date, you should stay for a couple of years. I didn’t realize that if he wasn’t your cup of tea, you got to leave.
Everyone has a different opinion when it comes to caffeine during pregnancy. I work full time, and with the extreme exhaustion pregnancy brings, I need a little boost a couple of times a day. On days when I can’t stomach coffee, green tea has also proven to be very helpful and soothing.
Nothing chills out the soul like the comfort of tea and a potato.
At one point I was putting 17 sugars in my tea. I know it’s unbelievable and I do wonder sometimes what my mum was thinking to allow it. The weirdest thing was that if I had 18 teaspoons it was too sweet.
I do a lot of vocal exercises and drink hot tea, which I hate.
The Tea Party doesn’t like politicians.
If 2,000 Tea Party activists descended on Wall Street, you would probably have an equal number of reporters there covering them.
I love home, any home really – my mum’s, and of course my own. I love eating food there and chilling in bed with a cup of tea.
His track record of pragmatism, depth and candor all speak to a person who would find the Tea Party simplistic, opportunistic and misguided. Reagan was surrounded by some very smart people who gave him very sound advice. They were not wondering where certain countries are on the map.
In London, love and scandal are considered the best sweeteners of tea.
I’m a morning person so I like to be up by 6 am to wash and pray before the sun rises, and then have a tea at the kitchen table.
I was often very, incredibly naughty, and if I didn’t come home at tea time I used to be sent to bed without any dinner. But people used to bring me things: I was better fed in bed.
I came up the old-fashioned way – tea boy, cutter, focus-puller, cinematographer – but I wasn’t myself old-fashioned.
I’m a southern boy raised in Gainesville, Georgia, so it’s natural for me to want fast food and sweet tea, but those are the things I’ve had to cut back on.
My mum says I never had tantrums. I had elongated and very complicated tea parties in my cot, and I was sort of talking, I guess, quite young, and I would say, ‘Oh, how lovely to see you, do come in!’ I’d have these theatrical tea parties by myself with my imaginary friends.
I ran for office originally as part of this Tea Party Movement because we were upset with Republicans who’ve doubled the debt. We were upset with Republicans that bailed out the banks.
Make no mistake about it. These are not ‘kookie’ birds. Right now the greatest player, the big tent on the political scene in America, is called the Tea Party movement.
Caffeine is hard on an empty system, so I try not to do it unless it’s to get my heart rate up. If you drink caffeine 15 minutes before the workout, it can make it more effective. So I’ll do tea or coffee after breakfast.
As in nature, politics abhors a vacuum. Without a strong voice for more moderate leadership, the Tea Party is filling that vacuum.
I feel like I see more and more Neapolitan style, that I call ‘fancy pizza’ – that’s not my cup of tea; I think it all tastes the same.
I’ve long thought that Marco Rubio would make a strong G.O.P. candidate for president. While he was brought into office by surfing on the Tea Party wave, he has proven himself not to be wedded to the frequent lunacy of those folks.
I have never had a pair of knickers sent in the post. I’ve had jams, lemon drizzle cakes, West Ham football shirts and footballs and books. I’ve had pillowcases with my face on, tea towels with my face on, face flannels with my face on, towels with my face on.
China’s a big tea culture.
I love Melbourne and South Yarra’s perfect for high tea.
I haven’t acquired a taste for green tea, and I don’t intend to. I like my coffee black with a little sugar, and it keeps my metabolism up! I don’t mind the occasional Gatorade while I’m gymming.
Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It’s no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It’s a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.
Many reporters have gone to Tea Party rallies looking for expressions of bigotry. What they have tended to find instead is a constitutional fundamentalism that argues that Washington has no right to tell individuals or states what to do.
We all need a big cushiony telly show to fall back on. Like the pair of slippers after you unexpectedly went Christmas shopping in your work shoes. Like the cup of tea when your deadlines are making you cry. Like the hug off someone who matters when it’s cold and you wanted to look nice, not warm.
Much of what Tea Party candidates claimed about the world and the global economy during the 2010 elections would have earned their adherents a well-deserved F in any freshman economics (or earth science) class.
Tea Party people know that I stood against the Wall Street scam from Day One, that I voted against TARP, that I voted against repealing Glass-Steagall Act that kept these guys under some control.
The tea party movement sprung from plain old disenchantment, disappointment, and outright anger at being fleeced by a government who mistook their primary job as being ‘spend cash mon-nay’ rather than execute the Constitution.
I love essential oils – there’s one for every problem. It’s kind of like nature’s answers for what to put on your skin. I had acne when I was a teenager, and I did a pretty intense tea tree thing. You dilute it in a base oil, like carrot seed oil, which is good because it gives your face a little glow.
Tea, though ridiculed by those who are naturally coarse in their nervous sensibilities will always be the favorite beverage of the intellectual.
You know, the Tea Party is a – first of all, it is a significant movement, and I think the media and some pundits have tried to write it off as a bunch of cranks or something. But, in fact, it’s really a very legitimate and fairly significant swath of voters out there.
There are good people and bad people in all organizations fundamentally however, when you look at the basis of the Tea Party it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with an economic recovery. It has to do with limiting the role of our government in our lives. It has to do with free markets.
