Hot Hot Hot Hot Tea
Oh boy, it is hot in the Sahara. But it is sometimes cool at night so I get to sleep. And I only live an hour away from the coast, so I can go and drown myself if need be.
Moroccans drink the hot tea. Oh nelly, I am not kidding. The tea in the south is much different than the tea in the north. The northerners drink transparent tea in small glasses. The southerners drink amazingly strong and dark, yet oddly refreshing tea in shot glasses. It’s their whiskey: burly and dark in shot-style intervals, tout sans alcohol. So why am I mentioning hot tea in the hot sun? Because here, they go hand in hand.
I have yet to become a medical scientist, but there are some very practical health tips I have learned in my almost eleven-month stint in this chimerical world:
-Eating pork gives you varicose veins.
-Freckles are an illness.
-If a fly lands in your soup, you must dump the fly in the soup before removing it. One wing is poisonous and the other is the antidote. Plunging the fly into the soup assures that regardless of which wing touched the soup initially, you’ll always be safe.
-If you’re burning up inside due to the outside heat, drink some hot mint tea. The hot liquids magically cool you down inside (somehow….).
