Taking Tea Along in a Thermos
My husband and I recently went away for a weekend of walking, carefully timed to miss out on the current unseasonably warm weather. We had to search long and hard to find a place where it was raining in an April this lovely, but we didn’t shrink from the task. I’m fairly sure my feet… Continue reading

On the Connoisseurship of Tea
Is there such a thing as a tea connoisseur? Well, as they used to say on a popular TV show of yesteryear, “you bet your sweet bippy.” Of course, when the word “connoisseur” is bandied about, the first thing most of us probably think of is wine, followed by some of the other finer things… Continue reading

A Game of “Musical Tea Mugs”
Remember the game of “musical chairs”? Well, “musical tea mugs” is sorta like that. Sorta. The difference is there are no chairs. Uh, also there’s no music. Oh, and there are no people — just mugs.

My Favorite “Tea Shirt”
People ask me what the “A.C.” stands for in my author’s signature. Usually, I just give some sassy answer like “my first two names – duh!” But now I’ll tell you. It stands for “Anything Comfy”! I have comfy furnishings, comfy foods, comfy times with my hubby, and my favorite comfy “tea shirt.” Ah! Tea-dyed… Continue reading

Robinsons — The “Funnest” Drinks Around
Robinsons makes fruit drinks, called “squashes” in the UK, that are the “funnest” drinks around. They’ve been at it for over 180 years and have thus honed the beverage fun factor to a fine art form. To those of us in the U.S., the word “squash” indicates either a vegetable or some weird tennis-like game… Continue reading

Offbeat Tea Drinks
For those of us who live in the West, there was a time when tea meant one thing — black tea in a tea bag, typically served with milk or cream and a sweetener of some sort. Needless to say, things have changed considerably in recent years. Nowadays, we have access to a wide range… Continue reading
