Ye Gods!

A cuppa so often? My waterworks would be like Victoria Falls!

I have 3 cuppas of herbal tea a day and just manage to squeeze the rest of my daily fluids from a water bottle kept cool in the fridge. Our first cup of tea is at about 10AM. Our last at 8 PM.

As for a noisy kettle - ditch it. Not worth shattering a peaceful day with noisy electrics just for a cuppa. Find a new silent one and love it forever.

Breakfast in our house is porridge cooked with milk on the stove top, so we only need to concentrate on not letting the porridge burn.

Rebecca, I do hope you're okay. Have I missed something you may have announced placed you under the weather? If so, I apologise.

"In an instant I’d pledged to reduce my hourly cup of tea routine by fifty per cent..." ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, yes, like that's ever going to happen...

As far as cooking pasta in a tea kettle? Urg. Easy, yes, but why not just open a can of ready-made spaghetti and dump it in. That's really easy, if you don't mind your next cup of tea having the flavor of garlic and rosemary.... A clean-up nightmare. Great post, Rebecca!
