A Sweatheart Tea
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and I was in the mood for sweets and tea. Enjoyed a lovely, loose peppermint tea from Upton Tea Imports, some home-made, heart-shaped peanut butter cookies, some hand-dipped chocolate covered strawberries, and a raspberry filled, heart-shaped donut.

Scottish food, dancing, music, and athletics make for a fun-filled day even if you’re not Scottish. Unfortunately, for me, I was a…

A Bit of England & Scotland
It is my last day off of my short summer break. We had terrific weather during my niece’s stay so that’s what is really important, but today is rainy, dark and foggy. A perfect day for tea! I’m enjoying a lovely pot of Assam Gold from Chateau Rouge Tea in England. A wonderful golden color…

What the Doctor Ordered
While I am recovering from brain surgery on my un-ruptured brain aneurysm, tea gives me something to look forward to on a daily basis. I know it’s a habit that won’t harm me and one that will encourage and enlighten me during this process. Tea is comfort food to me. So, after pretty much exhausting…
