A Nice Moment

Faith — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:04:35 +0000

I’m actually having a nice moment for once. Warm and fuzzy, even.

I’m sitting here at my very own computer, listening to 1940s Christmas
music (hate Christmas, love Christmas music) and sipping some delish
but super cheap instant cappuccino from a mug with a finch on the
side.

I never have these little moments, which is why this is such a big
deal for me. I feel… calm. Zen, if you will, and in the mood for
another cup of dessert coffee.

FREE Chai Tea!

Ack, so cool! Josh was nice enough to poke at me this morning and let me know about this offer, which is awesome by the way if you’re a tea drinker ( and I am, in a big way ) – Oregon Chai is giving away a free sample of their tea online, which is nice since I don’t live close enough to any sort of store to go get it with a coupon, lol.

To be honest I didn’t check out the terms and conditions yet, so I have no frigging clue if this offer is about to expire or not, but either way it’s worth signing up since right now it seems to be going strong!

Speaking of tea, I have to force myself to stop blogging because ( yes, I am nothing if not timely ) the tea I’m steeping will get bitter if I don’t get into the kitchen and do something about it, lol!

Coconut Chai Tea

Recipe: Coconut-Chai Iced Tea

Summary: FOR NATALIE! One of my favorite treats, and very simple to make, here’s what you need:

Ingredients

1/2 C Boiling Water
1 Bag Green Chai Tea
1/2 C Unsweetened Coconut Milk
1 T Sugar

Instructions

Steep tea in boiling water for 3 minutes, until it’s very dark, before dunking (several times) and removing tea bag (do NOT squeeze, as it will make tea bitter).

Pour your coconut milk into a clear glass and add your sugar, mix well. Now you want to put a spoon upside down in your glass right over your milk but not touching it. Slowly pour your tea over the back of your spoon, rocking the spoon back and fourth, to keep the tea and milk from mixing. Add ice if desired.

Cooking time (duration): 5

Number of servings (yield): 1

Meal type: cocktail

Culinary tradition: Thai

My rating:4.0 stars

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bento

Trying this one more time – my plugin made my related posts go haywire! Had a great dinner of fakey bento proportions. We only had $1.50 to our name so instead of buying things we need, we hauled off and bought cookies which we had with warm milk tea. Mine are in my Buffalo Wings take home container, which works as a sort of not so cute bento but fun none the less!
