[quote="Lambchop"]Breakfast: Chicken-fried steak with cream gravy, 2 fried eggs, fried tomatoes, and biscuits 'n gravy. Coffee.

Lunch: Chicken-fried steak with cream gravy. On biscuits. Coke.

Dinner: Chicken-fried steak with cream gravy, mashed potatoes, green-bean casserole, sweet potato souffle, fruit cobbler, and biscuits 'n gravy. Ice tea, sweet. (If the sugar isn't piled up in the bottom, it's not sweet enough.)

I'll take all of that except the greenbean casserole and no sugar in my tea please.

I can't STAND sweet tea.

The "proper" way to make it is to desolve a cup of sugar in hot water, then put the tea bags in. Just hook me up to a glucose drip instead.... yuck.....
I don't like grits, either.

Try chilling it and serving it over ice with a sprig of mint... Mmmmmmm.

I've never heard of sugaring the water first, doesn't the teabag leach
a lot of the sugar?

I dunno - like I said, I don't drink it. I was just told that was the "proper" way to make it.

The teabags don't leach enough if you sugar the water first. What you do is make your tea, and also boil a cup or so of water, into which you dissolve as much sugar as possible. Add the syrup to the tea. As it cools, some of it will precipitate out and pile up on the bottom. If it doesn't, just dump some sugar in so everyone will recognize it as sweet tea.

Smothered porkchops and dirty rice. And a biscuit.
