Sweet tea and pi....

As everyone is well aware, today is pi day--you know the thing about the circumference of the thing that equals 3.14--plus a whole lot of numbers behind the decimal. Should you want to send a pi greeting, this looks as good as anywhere:

Which leads naturally into to the theme of sweet tea. Just this week I went to a chicken place and got the "family tailgate for 4"...and we will be eating it for the rest of the week--there was so much food. And drink. It came with a 1/2 gallon jug of "sweet tea" as they call it in the south. It might just as well be called liquid sugar cane in a 1/2 gallon jug.
Where I come from, my Mom made "sun tea", and you drank it, if you needed it, you added sugar--or--lemon--and if you were lucky (or unlucky as we turned into teenagers) you didn't take a swig of "Mom's special tea" that was in the fridge.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how these people drink this stuff, and still move at the pace that they do. The sugar they put in is enough to make a preschool self implode--yet they swagger along, trying not to hustle whatsoever, not even with their speech. Did you know that Quin is a three syllable word down here?
What I have learned is this--don't go kidding the South about their sweet tea, just drink it--don't ask for "up north" tea...and make your own kind of tea at home, for two.
