Biscotti & Tea
I have never made biscotti before, but this fantastic recipe from The Monday Box blog for Cinnamon Red Hot Biscotti Cookies peaked my interest to give it a shot. I already had cinnamon imperials in my pantry from some Christmas cookie recipes, so this was perfect. The dough was quite wet and heavy and tricky

Pretty In Pink Tea
It is finally April, and that called for a little bit of color. I picked up a bouquet of miniature roses at the market yesterday as well as some strawberry drizzle cookies. Then I looked for some spring-like tea ware in my collection. I grabbed a teapot I haven’t used yet. It was my late

Tea from India
I saw on the Tozy Tea website where one of the owners gives the other owner this tea because it’s one of their favorites. Well, how can I pass up a tea that a tea owner loves, so I ordered a bag of the loose tea from them to try. Nilgiri Frost tea is from

Yorkshire Tea Time
In 2013 my husband and I spent 3 days in the beautiful and historic city of York, England before heading north to Scotland. When planning our trip to Scotland, we wanted to get a brief taste of another part of England away from London, which we visited the previous year for a week. While doing

Reward Tea

My favorite Scottish pottery was missing a piece!

Saturday Tea
It’s just a tick cooler out today and the perfect temperature to enjoy some tea out on the deck. I went out and cut some flowers from the garden for a wee bouquet. Not much to choose from at the moment as all the daisies are almost gone by and the entire garden is kind

An Early Summer Tea
I love weekend mornings when I don’t NEED to do anything or be anywhere and can enjoy the beautiful area we live in. That usually means tea out on the deck if the weather cooperates. Well, this weekend has been a stellar example of perfect summer weather on both days and I took Sunday morning

Outlander Scones and Tea
When my husband and I met in 1998, he was reading a book called OUTLANDER by Diana Gabaldon. He told me about it and said it was very good. I was living in New York at the time and he in Maine. So we both read it around the same time and were hooked on

First Tea Outside
Finally, a warm, sunny weekend to enjoy some tea outside. The first for this year. We had only one lawn chair out so I grabbed that and strategically placed it in a sunny spot on the deck. Trees and bushes are JUST starting to get spring buds and the grass is starting to green up
