In Doy’s garden
Log it in Doydum and a row of tomatoes sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.
Granulated white sugar, stirred into tea and coffee, sprinkled over fruit and used in nearly every dessert. In Turkey, many people drop a cube or two into each small glass of tea, several times a day.
A sugar cube is about the same as a level teaspoon, so count the cubes across all your glasses of tea.
