I am a bit impatient too...I am not a fan of coffee (if I drink it) in the Keurig either. I prefer brewed the old way!
I like coffee but prefer tea

I enjoy a cup of coffee too but my favorite is tea, too!!

That is really awesome, KOS!! You've remembered it all these years, so it must have really made an impression.

In taste yorkshire pudding is a lot like a popover or very airy muffin/biscuit. It is crunchier and can be big for people to share or small for just one person. I am still technologically challenged on bringing things over correctly.

I am of British decent...my maternal grandmother was from Liverpool, England and tea is my drink of choice...hot or iced...sugar no milk!!!
OOOOHHHHHH!!! Iced SWEET TEA!!!! yummmmmmmm have you ever had sun tea?????

Used to make lots of sun tea, but sweet tea is a complete YUK for me! There is a reason for that. When I was about 12 or 13 we visited my grandfather's widow in MS. It was VERY hot and humid...and I was extremely thirsty. We were from NM so we didn't drink tea....pretty much water or milk! The tea was sooooo sweet it was like syrup--it virtually made me gag. I was afraid of being rude, so I didn't ask for anything else. I have had an aversion to sweetened tea ever since then. I can smell the sugar or the sweetener in it!
