Quote of the day:
Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world…would do this, it would change the earth.
William Faulkner
Hey LJ Readers, I hope this morning finds you all doing well.
I’m awake way too early and I’m not sure why. I’m so tired but for some reason I am unable to sleep anymore. I suppose it’s because I’ve got too much on my mind and don’t know how to shut off my brain long enough to allow myself to drift off. I’m hungry too and that’s never a good thing, way too early to eat breakfast or make coffee. Hmm, coffee. Might be a good idea after all? I don’t know, I can’t think straight. Sleep, yes sleep. I need more sleep. Ugh!
My appointments went well yesterday and for that I am glad.
I’m still waiting to hear back from my job interview from Tuesday but that will be early next week I’d think since they will be making their final decision either today or tomorrow. Hoping I get a yes, I could really use the extra financial boost, it would definitely help us with getting out of this area we are in now.
A little recipe for those who love their iced tea, I do but this one sounds a bit too sugary for my taste buds.
Lipton Brisk Iced Tea
INGREDIENTS:
3 Lipton tea bags (regular size)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon Kool-Aid lemonade unsweetened drink mix
DIRECTIONS:
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the tea bags and remove the pan from the heat. Let the tea steep for at least 1 hour. Pour the granulated sugar and Kool-Aid drink mix into a 2-quart pitcher. Add the tea and stir so that the sugar dissolves. Add additional water if necessary to bring the tea to the 2-quart mark on the pitcher. Chill well before serving.
Makes 2 quarts.
Personally, I think that there’s way too much sugar in there for just two quarts, some like their sugar though so to each their own. For me though, way too sweet for my tastes, I can’t eat or drink anything too sweet anymore. Perhaps it can be adjusted though? Hmmm, something to consider if I make this drink.
That’s all I’ve got for now, I just wanted to give a small update since I was up and needing a bit of a distraction from my thoughts.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
