Laundry drying in my kitchen . . .

I did a load of wash yesterday and hung it outside on the line. It was still very damp when I brought it inside and threw it hurriedly on my antique wooden rack. There is a big cast iron radiator directly behind the dutch door to quickly finish the job. All the small items are hanging on a folding floor rack.

I can't remember the last time I used my gas dryer.
I absolutely love the way clothes smell when they've been outdoors -- so nice and fresh. This was my first winter with a clothes line. I wondered if I would break down and resort to modern conveniences. So far, so good. I am pretty determined to continue my pioneer ways.

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.
