Chai Latte Debut
I’m all about a tasty chai latte and have dropped quite a bit of cash at Starbucks for theirs the last couple of years. But when I’m craving one and don’t want to trek 15 minutes into town or shell out the cash, I’m giving a homemade version a shot for the first time. I…

Pot of Chai
This wonderfully, warm autumn in Maine has continued, which make me very happy because I get to enjoy warm sun out on the deck still. A warm pot of Winter Chai from Tea Forté filled my thistle teapot from Scotland. The dried hydrangeas kept me hanging on to summer.

Croissants For One
When you’re visiting a town that has a café/bakery called Mornings in Paris, you stop and buy croissants! Which is exactly what I did a couple of weeks ago on our short trip to the southern coast of Maine. I purchased a chocolate croissant and a plain butter croissant. The many, many flakey layers of…

Late Summer Tea
We’re having an unusual amount of thunder and lightening the last 24 hours. Thankfully nothing too severe, but just enough to keep one on their toes. The light show last evening was most impressive.
