Scary talented this child is.

I just put a pot of fresh coffee on, if I could upload a cup for you, you would be welcome to join us!

That's so kind of you, thank you. Chocolate, coffee and creative flow are 3 of the best ways to start the day. Hahah. Talent isn't something to be scared of, I'm happy to hear she loves art. Encourage it so it's never lost!!

Recently I've been on a kick for the new blend of loose herbal tea I picked up this holiday season. It's called "Nutcracker blend" ; It smells like christmas and it's simply delicious. Essentially it's a black tea fused with apple, orange zest,currants, cinnamon, almonds, cloves & safflowers.

Wow where can I find that? I have a close friend who is a tea connoisseur and would love that flavor combination.

I find it fascinating that we can know someone well enough to recall favorite flavor profiles. Hmm..I had not thought about that until just this moment. Another friend travels to Paris and brings me back Mariage Freres Tea which has completely spoiled me on fine tea. Fortunately we can now find this tea in Berkeley

I went to Paris once, it was such a cool experience. I get my loose teas from a number of specialty tea stores across Canada. I know you can get a tea bag variety by Celestial, under the name "nutcracker sweet" which is probably easy to find on amazon. This one is actually a Rooibos tea (oops) I got it at a fair trade cafe in the nearest city, but I think it was just out for the holidays. I also recommend checking out www.davidstea.com They have basically the same great selection of loose teas, they ship to the US AND it's well worth it!!! So your friend may be interested in many of the flavor combinations. I'm sure they would carry the nutcracker as well since

Mister Bojangles chocolate truffles.

Sushi.

That is what I want.

I have yet to have a decent meal in 2013. I hope that I will not be saying this for very long!

Hola Delicious People!

After cooking since 5:30AM I am wiped out on cooking!

Interesting thing though, I found out that Beef Barley soup is very popular in certain regions. This makes me curious as to the other uses of barley and how it has become a staple in American cuisine. Any thoughts on this?

What kinds of soups do you all enjoy?

Truly I am not scared, that is just California slang for "it blows my mind" how talented this girl is. It is fabulous to see her mind work. Her Mom is incredibly intelligent and creative too so she comes by it naturally.
