Week 10, Post 2: My Disloyal Love Affairs.

As you know I have an internship at King's College Hospital, which I love, the only problem is that they changed their tea provider from Tetley to something with a cow on the front of the tin. Now, everytime I go to get tea during my break or lunch, it's just not the same. I had a love for Tetley tea, it was perfect for my morning, lunch, and afternoon break. I feel that the love is still there, I just haven't had the chance to reunite with Tetley. This love affair has got me going a little crazy, I've kind of gotten used to the new tea because it has been around for about a month now, but I feel bad for betraying my first true love of tea, Tetley. Recently, I've been thinking about spicing things up in the Staff Tea Room by adding a little sugar to my tea, but I can't bring myself to do it. First I don't want the extra calories, and second I don't want to impose on the originality of the tea. Also, the tea bags from the new provider aren't as great as Tetley, I sometimes see little pieces of tea leafs that left the tea bag, floating around in my cup. Tetley would never do that to me.
Aside from the tea issue I bring up in just about every blog, I decided to eat a sandwich today from the Hospital cafeteria. It's nice because everything is so affordable and they have some pretty good stuff, that's healthy or appears healthy. One of the best parts is the sandwich bar, its almost just like a subway, without the amazing breads. They don't have all the veggies that subway would carry either, but that isn't a big deal to me because all I get is a ham with cheddar cheese toasted. Anyway, after the 2 minute line, I got my sandwich and headed to check out. It's amazing how inexpensive things are when you aren't on the west end of London. Of course after paying for my sandwich I headed down to the Staff Tea Room to meet up with Havisha. I shamefully made myself a cup of the replacement tea like it was crack, and sat down to enjoy my meal. The bread was very good. When I picked the bread, I thought it looked the most healthy, so I had a healthy mind set while eating it. The ham was great also. The only thing I was really concerned about was the cheese, which actually ended up being way better than I expected. I think that the cheese here has grown on me. I'm starting to like it a lot more, but maybe that's just because I forgot what the cheddar cheese back home tasted like. I know when I get back home though, I will fall in love all over again with the cheese there. There's no denying that the orangish-yellow cheddar cheese is my favorite of all time. This white stuff is only a temporary love, until I get the real deal back home.
