Every year when I go to whip up a batch of my grandmother's ("Twomommy") Hot Spiced Tea, I never can find the recipe.  Last year I wrote it on a card and put it inside the container, thinking that when it gets low enough to see the card, it will be time to make more anyway.

Within a day or so, almost my entire stock of tea, and card, was poured into artsy containers and all given away for Christmas gifts.

So this year, after getting enough stuff to make a 55 gallon drum of hot tea, and getting the recipe, once again, from my Dad, I decided to post the recipe here.  Where I'm sure I won't remember I posted it next year.  Enjoy.

Yeah.  Sure.

Sometimes as owner of a company, you have to get a little strict when you come up with policies.  And you have to have policies.  Else things would just turn to anarchy, which is typically considered bad.

So to avoid total and complete anarchy and destruction of the human way of life, I've enacted the following policies here. If you are a manager of your company then I do highly recommend posting these policies at your place of business too.  If you improve on these, please feel free to submit the changes.

DRESS CODE
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing $350 Prada sneakers, and carrying a $600 Gucci Bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress in-between, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.
