A Cool Idea

If you have fresh fruit on hand cube it up and flash freeze it in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Once it is frozen you can put it in storage containers. Rather than reaching for the ice the next time you are making a glass of sweet tea just add a few […]

Blast from the Past- Long Island Tea

We are doing a blast from the past theme day today on b5.  When I think of the summers of my childhood I think of lots of longs days with nothing but time, hamburgers done on the grill, and this refreshing tea that a neighbor from New New York always made, Long Island Tea.
Now, when […]

Green Tea Mango Ice Cream

This is based on a recipe from Epicurious. I love mango, it is such a sweet fresh flavor and it goes well will all kinds of tea. Green tea, Matcha powder, is THE in ingredient right now, and God forbid that someone would think I was not on the cutting edge here […]

Ugly Mug Chai Mix

I am not a big fan of chai mix.  Like the instant coffee mixes they seem unnaturally sweet to me and even a little cloying.
When the fantastic people at Ugly Mug sent me coffee to review, they also sent a package of their chai. The kids were ecstatic, they love the stuff.  I was less […]

Amazing Earl Grey Ice Cream

See that? That is goat’s milk. Gallons of raw, organic, healthy goat’s milk milked by yours truly in the wee hours of the morning. O.k…well not wee hours. More like 8:00, or uh… 9:00…maybe even 10:00. I admit it ..I get out there when I can.
What are you going to do with that much milk?

Blog -Surfing Saturday

First of all, the horses are gone and I sent a baby goat and a quart of goat milk along with them. Why I feel the need to give people things I will never know.
I want to give special kudos to Cathy of Noble Pig. Why? Ah, well you may ask. […]

India Spice Frappe: Fire and Ice

 
This is so good, as far as I am concerned anyway.  It makes a great drink to sip in the evening while you watch the sun go down from the porch.  Listen to the crickets, watch the stars come out…all of the goodness of living in the country.
Any good chai can be used in this […]

Cool Off with a Green Tea Slush

Yesterday it hit 100. Was it only a few weeks ago that it was cold? It seems like it. Now the house gets too hot in the afternoons to do much other than read a book in front of the fan.
Actually, like many of the modern amenities I think that air conditioning […]
