Just a Splash

I decided to try something new with my chai. It wasn't half bad!

I can't give Shane to give eggnog a fair chance. I coerced him into taking a sip, but he acted like he was dying and I didn't push further than that. More for me, I guess.

I wonder what it would taste like in coffee, but I don't sweeten my morning cup, so I don't know if I want to try it.

Feels Like October!

The mornings have suddenly cooled off after the heat wave. I made a cup of tea and looked down to see it staring back at me.

I carried it over to show Carrie and it got spooky.

Must be October!

Ain't it Pretty? (Note: Backdated)

"I'm going to write your name on it, so people know it's YOURS," Carrie said. "NOT mine."

It's pink. That made it cheaper and that trumped all other considerations. Isn't it cute?

Megan and Big B had a hot water kettle at their house and I thought it was neat. I've been off coffee for a little while, and sticking to tea.

Now, I'm drinking tea with style.

Tea-Time

Megan brought me tea from India!  My sister rocks! Thank you, Megan.

I got a box of bagged masala (pictured) and a bpx each of  loose leaf chocolate and Kashmiri kahwa tea.

Masala is not new to me, but this is the first batch I've ever had straight from India. The fact that it came in little jewelry bags and mesh means it was probable handmade and packaged.

Kashmiri Kahwa and chocolate tea are new to me. The indelible internet tells me that kahwa is normally drank without milk, sweetened with sugar and honey, and often has crushed nuts in it (walnuts or almonds). I don't have any of those, but consider me intrigued. That's not something I normally think of adding to my tea.

As for the chocolate tea....I guess it will taste faintly of chocolate!

Actually, I think I'm going to go make a glass of kahwa now...
