Crazy Concoctions Made at Work

[Kenk]

What is the craziest concoction you have made at work.

I sometimes make Indian tea in the microwave. I pour hot water and milk into a cup and NUKE it trying not let it bubble over. I sometimes add spices to jazz it up.

The most important thing is after you are finished cooking your tea you must let it sit for a little bit. If you dump your spoon into the mix too soon the tea will burst forth and pour over the sides with great enthusiasm.

Ah yes, the exploding microwaved water phenomenon. A hazard indeed. But it once saved me from having a conversation with my mother that I didn't want to have, and it took less than a week for the burns on my thighs to heal, so it was worth it.

I can't think of any weird concoctions I've made at work, but in an office I worked in a few years ago, a certain Sheriff's officer would stop by and make coffee. He'd put salt in it. Said it was a trick he learned in the Navy. He loved it, but no one else could stand it. It did make for a smoother cup, if you could get past that briny flavor. But when he was eventually killed in the line of duty, it helped a lot to be able to laugh at Ken and his horrible coffee when the pain became just too much. He and the coffee are both unforgettable. I'd love to have him back, but he would have to leave his coffee in Heaven.

The craziest thing I ever made at work was a very minimalist mocha. Half coffee half hot chocolate and fully delicious!

When I was working at $tarbuck$, I would make double mochas with half the milk and half a shot of banana flavoring. No whip, no foam.

Just thinking about that sends me into a hyperglycemic emergency.
