Light, or Dark - Black, White or Green, Which do you Prefer?

Are you a coffee or tea drinker?

For someone who have never been much of a coffee drinker other than on the weekends, at a restaurant or if someone else makes it, I sure do like it now! For awhile, every time I would drink it I would get this weird jittery feeling that would make me feel like I couldn't settle down so I stayed away from it. Just recently I started making it in the mornings for myself and adding a fun flavored creamer in it and I'm beginning to really enjoy it. It's not like I am addicted to it and "have" to have my morning coffee before I talk to anyone, nothing like that. I mean, I can stop anytime... lol. In all seriousness, I barely have one cup but I do like it and I guess it gives me that little caffeine jolt that I need in the morning. A little story... when I was little my grandma, we called Babchi, would usually stay at our house on Saturday nights to go to church with our family on Sunday mornings. Early Sunday morning she was up and would make me "special coffee." Really all it was, was lots of sugar and milk and a little coffee. I thought that I was so cool being able to drink coffee like the grown-ups and have kuchen. Anyway, one of those special memories I have.

I used to only drink tea in the mornings. I love hot tea and iced tea. Every morning you would hear the whistle of the tea kettle and I would brew some fancy gourmet tea, thanks to my mom, she only gets the best. My mom is what you call a "Tea Expert." She does Afternoon Teas to different various groups around the city. During the Afternoon Tea, while you are enjoying the meal, she talks all about the history of tea and the different types that there are and so forth. She has even done some Children's Tea Parties, that are so beautiful for the kids. I had Sophie's 5th birthday party as a Formal Tea Party. All the little ladies and gentleman wore there most fancy outfits, played fun games like Pass the Parcel and ate like royalty. It's funny how they have the best manners when you let them use your best china. It's wonderful really and some of my friends and family have had the privilege of attending some of her events. Well, if you've ever been to one of my sister or I's wedding or baby shower's, then you've tasted some of her many creations she whips up. She by far has the best scone recipe around, you would swear it came straight from England and her clotted cream is to die for, I am so not kidding. Then she makes assorted tea sandwiches and shortbread cookies that you can't get enough of. Anyway, being her daughter, I am one lucky gal, I get to help, which means I get to snitch, I mean taste test the food, you know, to make sure it's good to serve. It always is. If there is anything left, my sister and I fight for the leftovers. You never drink out of paper cups, she always brings her collection of china tea cups. So, If you have an event you need to plan and would like something different, I could hook you up with the best around.
