Cooking with Tea: Blancmange
As it did with so many young girls, the book Little Women made quite an impression on me. A lot of my friends identified with one or the other sister, but I didn’t. Not until I read this passage about Jo taking a special dish to an ailing Laurie: “Mother sent her love, and was Continue reading

Cooking with Tea: Fruit Kissel
If you’re a fruit lover, there’s no better time of year than midsummer.

Last Taste of Summer
Fall is in the air, coming in on a cool breeze under a cliched blue sky with light puffs of clouds. So, this afternoon we hung up our hammock. The end of summer may not seem like the typical time for such an activity, yet it was the allure of the cooler weather that made Continue reading

Apples, Apples Everywhere!
Did you take me up on my suggestion to go apple picking? If you did, you are probably now wondering what to do with all of those apples. You may have picked up a jug or two of cider as well. Why not have an apple-themed tea to celebrate the fall? I have a lovely Continue reading
