Oh Sugar!

[mrs_overall]

This morning Youngest Junior Overall was making me my first cuppa of the day and shouted through from the kitchen that the sugar container was empty. I told him there was a new packet in a particular cupboard. Two minutes later I was presented with a steaming cup of what can only be described as gloop. He had opened and used a packet of icing sugar.
Is there any hope for him?

Is it not still sweet? Tea with a slightly chewiness to it might be what the tea marketing board need to combat coffee.

Ahhh, how sweet !

[mrs_overall]

Urgh, trust me Sandy, lumpy tea is bloody awful

[mrs_overall]

Boo...an early contender for best answer

Bless! If your son is making you a morning cup of tea, there's plenty of hope for him. (don't tell me he's 27). :-)

[mrs_overall]

lol pixie, he is 13 and is the full time char wallah of the house

Bless - how was he to know that there are 159 different sorts of sugar.....

[mrs_overall]

Really boxy? I shall add that to my list of useless facts and hope and pray it comes up in a quiz one day :-)

With a bit more sugar added, it might make an interesting cake topping.

Noooooo, don't quote me! - it's a random number, but every time I look at a new recipe these days, there seems to be a different name for different specifications of sugar- cane, gran, caster, icing, ground-up-tiny-brown, sticky lumpy-together-brown-in-a-bag, cube, multicoloured-fairy-sugar, and so on...

[boxtops]

Well there's a thought, tills - I've never had tea-flavoured icing.

[weecalf]

I wont tell anyone mrs overall I dont want to be a broad caster

[B00]

Not the same, but I've used castor sugar in the past when ive run out of granulated.

[Svejk]

I am lovely, MrsO. Sugar's the new tobacco, apparently. ;)

[mrs_overall]

Sweaty nowt wrong with using both....but not at the same time obviously

Boo, caster sugar is just finely ground granulated sugar

weecalf, that made me laugh out loud

[queenofmean]

Just be thankful it wasn't salt!! Eurgh lovely thought
