The Tea Is Brewing, And So Is Trouble

My boyfriend was heating up some leftover pasta sauce. He put on some water to boil pasta, but then he couldn’t find the pasta.

Me: “I cooked all the pasta we had yesterday, but there is some left over in the freezer.”

He put that in the microwave.

Boyfriend: “Oh. Now I have a pot of water already halfway to boiling.”

Me: “Could you make some tea with it?”

Boyfriend: “Sure!”

After a while, he held up an unopened box of tea bags.

Boyfriend: “Do you want this flavour?”

I didn’t see what flavour it was, only that it wasn’t something we usually have.”

Me: “Sure.”

Later, we were having our leftover pasta for lunch with the tea.

Me: “This tea tastes a bit like very weak bouillon.”

Boyfriend: “It does!”

After drinking it some more, I came to the realisation that I actually really disliked this tea.

Me: “What flavour is this, anyway?”

Boyfriend: “OH! I just realised! I had already salted the water for the pasta before I used it for the tea!”

We had a good laugh about that.
