    What are you talking about? I heard that Tim Walz microwaves his water when he makes tea rather than using a tea kettle. What kind of monster does that?

        When you call him out on it he says that there’s one extra “for good luck.”. Yeah, right!

        My Australian friend thought I was a complete barbarian for heating water for tea on the stove in a pot

          That at least has the weight of tradition behind it.

          Wait, you do mean a stove kettle, don’t you? You don’t mean just a normal vegetables pot? You can’t mean that, surely?

            I do mean just a saucepan with some water in it. I ended up getting an electric kettle…
