Long MP3’s

Particular podcasts in general have me thinking to myself, “You know what would be great, if I could skip to the next chapter.”  Then it dawns on me, why can’t we do that?  I mean, in the first place, typically mp3’s are rips of songs and when you skip, you skip file to file.  But now when you have long format audio, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to skip to predetermined chapters like a dvd?  I think so.

Ok really it should be like take 5. Like I said earlier, I bought a Pur water dispenser to raise the quality of water used for the tea batches. I made another standard version 1 batch but it was really sweet. Like crazy sweet. 2/3rd cup of sugar, 2.5 quarts of water or whatever that line is on the pitcher which I have yet to understand. I think there are 2 measuring lines, actual water, and ice. But anyway, it seemed like a lost hope. I imagined what I needed was sugar that was sweet but didn’t have as strong of a flavor if that’s even possible since sugar is only sweet. So in retrospect, I’m like grasping at straws to figure out what’s going on. I drank about 1/3rd of it and decided to dilute it with more water. So I added more water, and it was perfect!!! (maybe) I need to buy more reference material but I feel like what I had finally made was definitely tasting much better.

  • So $19 for this tea maker
  • 2 bags of  lipton tea
  • Fill to the pitcher to the third line
  • 2/3rd cup of sugar in the pitcher for when the tea comes out piping hot
  • Then dilute it with plain water after it’s been brewed

The problem is I don’t know how much I diluted it.  I feel like I went down to the 2 quart line then I doubled it’s volume with plain water.  Either way, it’s a great alternative to $5 a gallon!
