I think I may have saved everything I've ever owned. And now I have to pack it.
When I moved here nearly nine years ago, I took a lot of ribbing for insisting on bringing a wheelbarrow full of rocks.
I can't bring all the rocks this time - they line the flower beds - but none the less, I'm pretty worn out from boxing up 27 years of collecting.
The perfect treat after a long day?
Homemade Chai Latte.
Chai Latte
Bring 4 cups of water to a simmer
Add:
1 tablespoon cardamom pods
1 tablespoon peppercorns
1 3inch piece of ginger
3 3inch sticks of cinnamon
1 tablespoon cloves
6 teabags (orange pekoe is fine but darjeeling is really special )
Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes
Strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth
Stir in 1/4 cup sugar ( honey or any sweetener can be substituted )
Refrigerate till ready to use.
To serve combine equal parts tea and milk and heat through.
Enjoy!
I see you are moving! I laughed when i read you had 17 boxes of china!! I had just about the same amount maybe more when we moved across Canada. My husband was so mad at me for having so much china. He never realized it before!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you do with the new place!!

I don't envy you. ;) I dread ever having to go through all I've collected to pack up some day. I hope you have a smooth move. It seems to rain everytime I have ever moved. ;)
