Tea

How I came to love tea. When I was in middle school and or beginning high school.  I forget which one exactly, I asked my Mom, "What can I drink in the morning to wake up?" She said," Tea."  Hot tea. I do not like the taste of coffee, it doesn't taste healthy to me.  Tea was perfect.  I started drinking standard  Lipton black tea.  Then I was introduced to Green Tea  which has a lot of health benefits...immune system and metabolism.  I also drink white tea and herbal teas..if I drink too much chamomile tea  I get hyper oddly enough.  Tea is a part of my morning and evening routine. I drink it hot, winter, spring, summer, and fall. I used to frequent Starbucks  but they no longer serve my favorite two teas  Green Ginger  and I think the Berryblossom White tea  has been discontinued altogether.  You will find me at home with a cup of tea next to me, this is true right now.

No animals were harmed for me

 Waldolf salad: vegan style

Green beans and Gardein and cranberry sauce

Pumpkin "Cheesecake"-no dairy..  I only ate the crust though.

Being a vegan/vegetarian  means  alot to me.  It has been  a road of constantly changing eating habits  and becoming aware that has brought me here today.  I celebrated Thanksgiving eating vegan,  here are a few pictures of the fare.

14 years

Time is a mysterious thing.  I don't quite ever try to understand it.  Today  I realized that according to the calendar.  This Month's end marks 14 years since my father passed.  I have seen my father several times since then of course, because I love it when he makes the cameo appearances that he does in my dreams.  He is always with me and I am so very much like him (a blessing).  I am thankful for having his love in my life everyday of my life...the love lives on forever.

Fashion September 2010

 

 

I am a fan of Project runway.  When I found out Nick Verreos was going to be in town  I was excited.  He presented the fashion show at Macy's.  My husband  came late but  he was able to finally meet Nick  who he is a fan of.  The night was fun.  A definite must do again for next year.
