Tea and Ritual: What Keeps You Going?

Writing blogs takes a lot of research. You read, in a matter of moments, what it has often taken me days to put together. I read alot of news reports, websites, blogs, library books…you name it.
The other night I was infusing MYSELF in a hot bath with a LUSH bubble bar. I […]

Leap Back and Leap Ahead with B5

 
So, B5 is doing a leap year thing.  I am pretty boring, in that I tend to live the same way year after year.  I thought it would be more fun to look back, and look ahead at coffee.
Looking back four years, and looking ahead four years…I checked around and the big coffee news […]

In Time for Tea: Rose & Cinnamon Scented Scones

I usually post my recipes at Baking Delights or Apron Strings, saving tea and coffee stuff here. But I really wanted to share these scones here because they could be such an incredible part of your next tea party.
I love the flavor of rose. The tea that I had custom blended and […]

Lipton?!! Vanilla Caramel Truffle Tea

 
I know…Lipton? What am I thinking.  I really don’t care for Lipton teas.  But lately they have come out with the silk pyramid bags, and they are trying to change their image from the family iced tea bag, and sun tea, to the tea of tea snobs everywhere. ‘

Golden Monkey Tea

 
O.k…who could resist a tea with a name like that? Not me.
Now, one of the things I do try to do is to pick up a variety of teas and coffees.  Some from specialty roasters and others from grocery stores.  I want there to be something for everyone, because that is just how I am.  […]

Bolivia Caranavi: Just Wow.

I don’t know if you have a Target store near you, or not. I don’t know if they are all over the U.S. or not. I will tell you that I stopped shopping at Walmart about 3 years ago because of ethical issues, and issues I had with their foreign policy and about that time […]

Saturday Surfing

This is an antique teacup that I have in my collection. Actually, I imagine it was a coffee cup. Seems to be a little heavy for tea. Anyway..it is Buffalo China, from 1911. Just wanted to share. :)

Passionfruit Iced Tea: My Way

 
O.k..so I did not make it back in time to post anything yesterday.
The VA always takes a long time and yesterday was no exception.  Labs at 10:30…waiting…check in….waiting….waiting…pharmacy…waiting….
You get it right? So they increased the amounts of Marc’s pain meds and scheduled him for consults with other specialists.  I am telling you, they have practically […]

20 Uses for Leftover Coffee

 
This does not happen often in our house.  Leftover coffee.  Yeah, right.  If I want leftover coffee to use in a chocolate cake or something I have to plan for it.  How do you plan for leftovers??!!
Well I pour the “leftover coffee” first and hide it.  Stop laughing.  You do what you have to do.  […]
