Biggotry in the Tea World

Just for clarification, I like my tea with half and half or cream. Either one is good with me. Everyone is entitled to their opinions about what should go in tea, but don’t be a hater ‘cuz I like the cream 😉 Love and kisses, Miriam

Winter Sunday

The morning sun is struggling through the approaching storm clouds outside, but I am bundled in flannel pj pants and a hoodie, with felted clogs on my feet. In a minute I will go downstairs, cut myself a piece of Blackberry Galette* and pour a big handthrown pottery mug full of tea, British style with […]

Use your imagination…

… because this is a cooking post with no pictures. Since I started my new job, actual serious cooking has been rare and coming in spurts. I am tired when I get home and we usually eat sandwiches or order a pizza or something similarly lazy. But yesterday I started thinking about what to have […]

The wonders of Heirloom Tomatoes

This weekend I bought some beautiful heirloom tomatoes at the Downtown Farmer’s Market. I just love the colors of heirlooms. And their skins are thin and lovely instead of being bred to be thick and tough. They’re just the perfect taste of summer!

But I was a good girl and didn’t buy any of them, because I knew that I had […]

Hey all

I’m back from my trip and working on a post or two about it, but I had to spend today catching up at work and now I’m tired. I’ll get a post up tomorrow. But for now, I’ve got some jam available in my etsy shop. I have 4 12 oz jars of Apricot Cantaloupe […]

Of Soup and Scapes

A Quickie Aside: Did you all see the new knitty? Coachella blew my mind! What ingenious construction! I never remember quite how happy the Downtown Farmer’s Market makes me until it opens again. Every Saturday morning, I love getting up early, knowing that I will come home with fantastically fresh produce and feel the desire […]

When I saw Carole’s interview I couldn’t resist asking for some questions of my own! She was kind enough to oblige and here they are, with my answers 🙂 1. Tell us what it’s like to live in Salt Lake City. Living in Salt Lake City is wonderful 🙂 I grew up in the Los […]
