Favorite Things Now That You're in America?

About the sweet tea... My Grandmother makes awesome sweet tea. We're down south in Georgia, we like it too! All she does is heat water.. just to the boiling point but not quite boiling.. I think boiling it gives it a kinda flat taste.. but anyway, she puts her tea bags in the water and lets it steep. I guess depending on how strong you like it, you have to experiment a bit. She puts sugar in her pitcher and pours the hot tea over it.. stirs it all up and lets it cool.. Voila!

Also, she only heats a small pot of water so when it steeps its fairly strong, once the sugar dissolves you fill the rest up with water. I'd say about 2 cups of sugar to a gallon.. we like it sweet!

Hope it all makes sense.. us folks with ADD don't do the linear thinking thing

^^^^ Ah ok, thanks for that Melae - that is what I understand 'iced tea' to be personally. I guess there is confusion since the advent of canned iced tea.

There are neighbourhoods all over Toronto where U turns are legal. And most other intersections in Ontario. Its only illegal if its posted as such.

Wow I didn't know U-turns were legal in Ontario:) I guess that's because I haven't been there since I was tiny. I am pretty sure they are illegal in BC, where I'm from. Not sure abut all the other provinces. Oh well, I am happy to be able to do them down here!

Just drove to Newport Ri from VA and back, and I must say the highways in the USA kick butt!!! Minimum of 2 lanes each direction.
