Subject: [Puptcrit] On the road: lil' comforts



Hi all.

I am thinking about how I will enhance my next puppet tour (nothing booked 
for now)
with small comforts that I would eventually miss, away from home.

What are the small comforts that you have to bring on tour, or are thinking 
to?

One trick would be to bring an actual mug and some of my favorite teas and 
herbal teas, as well as a fast kettle. I can't stand the regular tea bags, 
they don't taste like much. I'm used to loose leaf teas now (organic when 
possible), and what flavor they have!  I have a special mug that comes with 
its own filter so you can infuse in the mug itself. But if I were limited in 
space (who insn't?), I'd just bring a regular mug and prepare some tea bags 
in advance, blending my own choices together. You can buy the empty tea bags 
at some health food stores. Some are much bigger than commercial pre-made 
tea bags.  The bags can then be carried in a small container with lid. For 
some colder or sad nights, a few doses of hot cocoa would also come in 
handy.

I can picture myself now, in a hotel room, taking a wonderful peace-inducing 
infusion. Thinking about the past, when I would have had to be content with 
either cheap coffee or nothing.
