Chai Tea with Soy Milk (Recipe) . . .

I found this recipe for Chai Tea in my clippings drawer. I love chai and this is a great recipe. Can't tell you where it came from because there is no magazine name on my ripped page.

I have used the vanilla soy milk and added some extra real vanilla extract because I don't like the vanilla bean step. I don't usually have them in my cupboard but I always have everything else. The vanilla soy milk is sweet so you might be able to reduce the honey. I have also used organic sugar instead of honey. Play around with the recipe and enjoy.

This is a wonderful little antique bookplate from my collection with a great message now that Spring is quickly approaching.

No wealthy monarch can possess
A greater store of golden hours
Than can be found in happiness
Of birds and books and flowers

I can't tell you how much I love this graphic design. It's a mosaic floor sample from sketches made by the author in Pompeii.

Sleepy Sunday Morning . . .

One Sunday, the first day of daylight saving time, a sleepy-eyed congregation watched their young pastor ascend the pulpit of a lovely country church. Not looking very wide-awake himself, he began, “As you all know, we lost an hour last night because of daylight-savings time. I don’t know which hour you lost, but I lost the hour in which I usually write my sermon.”
