Aging Gracefully with Green Tea?
“Anyone can get old,” as Groucho Marx once said. “All you have to do is live long enough.” Of course, as we’re all aware, old age brings with it varying levels of debility, a situation that’s largely dependent on the individual and their circumstances.

Hansel and Gretel Can’t Eat This Tea-for-One Set
The story of Hansel and Gretel is fairly widely known — a couple of urchins who nibble on a gingerbread house in the deep, dark forest, and almost end up as dinner for the witch who lives there. Fortunately, no such urchins exist in our house nor would they be so obtuse as to try… Continue reading

Pouring Tea Like a Moroccan Waiter
Many years ago I had one of the most memorable dining experiences of my life and one that, as a tea drinker, has stayed with me decades past. It was a Moroccan restaurant serving up delicious foods.

A Tea Room of My Own
In 2005 we relocated to South Carolina and started shopping for a house. We saw a style we loved, and found a contractor to custom-build it on our land. DH and I each made a list of the must-haves in our new house. On his list were a balcony and lots of land. On my… Continue reading
