Sunday Morning Tea: Feb. 26, 2023

Good Sunday morning and welcome to my front porch for Sunday Morning Tea!

For the uninitiated, Sunday Morning Tea is my virtual writing salon, where we talk about our writing goals and projects while sipping on a hot cuppa tea!

Today, I’m having chai because a half-gallon of milk was “buy one get one free,” and as high as groceries are, I’m never passing up on the opportunity to get free food. Unfortunately, that means I now have a whole gallon of milk in my refrigerator, and I’m not a big milk drinker, so in hindsight, was it wise? Eh, looks like my diet for the next two weeks will consist of smoothies, oatmeal, and chai. That’s not the worst diet in the world.

Sunday Morning Tea: A.C. Melody Takeover

Good Sunday morning and welcome to my front porch for Sunday Morning Tea!

For the uninitiated, Sunday Morning Tea is my virtual writing salon, where we talk about our writing goals and projects while sipping on a hot cuppa tea!

Today is a special day because my dear friend and fellow blogger/romance author A.C. Melody is celebrating the release of her latest book Hearthstone Alpha, and she’s here to tell us all about it!

I’m a sucker for Paranormal Romance, so while I’m sipping on the deep, smoky flavors of Harney and Sons Black Cask Bourbon tea, I’ll let A.C. take over and give us a glimpse into the secret, sexy lives of wolf shifters.

Oh! And by the way, you might want to read to the very end because there’s a sweet treat waiting for you too…

Sunday Morning Tea: Feb. 12, 2023

Good Sunday morning and welcome to my front porch for Sunday Morning Tea!

For the uninitiated, Sunday Morning Tea is my virtual writing salon, where we talk about our writing goals and projects while sipping on a hot cuppa tea!

Today I’m drinking Harney & Sons Victorian London Fog, because the rainy weather is feeling very London grey, and contemplating the meaning of life, because, well… It’s been that kind of a week.

Sunday Morning Tea: Jan. 29, 2023

Good Sunday morning and welcome to my front porch for Sunday Morning Tea!

For the uninitiated, Sunday Morning Tea is my virtual writing salon, where we talk about our writing goals and projects while sipping on a hot cuppa tea!

The sun is out and shining bright, it’s the start of a new week, and I’m feeling refreshed, so green tea and all its antioxidant-supplying, disease-fighting, fat-burning, brain fog-clearing goodness is my beverage of choice today.

Sunday Morning Tea: Jan. 22, 2023

Good Sunday morning and welcome to my front porch for Sunday Morning Tea!

For the uninitiated, Sunday Morning Tea is my virtual writing salon, where we talk about our writing goals and projects while sipping on a hot cuppa tea!

Today, it’s cool and rainy, and I’m wrapped in a blanket on the couch with a freshly brewed mug of chai, which translated into English simply means tea, though we in the Western world know it best as spiced tea made with milk.

You know, a few years ago, the thought of putting milk in tea absolutely disgusted me. I liked my tea black with sugar and maybe a squeeze of lemon, but that was it!

Then a “friend” showed me how they make it in his home country, and I’ve been in love ever since…in more ways than one…

Bloganuary Day 8

I’m going to tell you a story. And it’s going to sound fantastical to you, something out of a storybook. But it’s the truth. I promise you it’s the God’s honest truth. And when I’m finished telling you this story, you may do one of three things. You may disregard me as completely insane. You may say I have the world’s largest imagination and I was only dreaming. Or you may choose to believe me. Whatever happens after I finish telling you this story, it will be up to you how it concludes…

Welcome to Bloganuary Day 8 and the first Sunday Morning Tea post of the new year (although it is now Sunday afternoon and I am currently drinking coffee…)

For the uninitiated, Sunday Morning Tea is my virtual writing salon, where we talk about our writing goals and projects while sipping on a hot cuppa tea…or coffee!

Sunday Morning Tea: Dec. 18, 2022

Good Sunday morning and welcome to my front porch for Sunday Morning Tea!

For the uninitiated, Sunday Morning Tea is my virtual writing salon, where we talk about our writing goals and projects while sipping on a hot cuppa tea!

The holidays are upon us, so today I’m drinking Harney & Sons Holiday Black Casket Bourbon (not an affiliate link) while I wait for my homemade eggnog to age in the fridge.

Yep, that’s right. I made my own eggnog. There was a time when the thought of consuming raw eggs absolutely terrified me. But I’ve always wanted to learn how to make this holiday custard, especially because I’ve been drinking the nonalcoholic version like water every Christmas since childhood. And with inflation and the store-bought stuff costing nearly $7 for half a gallon, there was no time better than now to try.

Although you can “cook” eggnog, I’m too afraid I might curdle the eggs. And besides, the alcohol makes the raw eggs safe to drink so…

Load ‘er up and take a gulp!

Good Sunday morning and welcome to my front porch for Sunday Morning Tea!

For the uninitiated, Sunday Morning Tea is my virtual writing salon, where we talk about our writing goals and projects while sipping on a hot cuppa tea!

The holidays are upon us, so today I’m drinking Harney & Sons Holiday Spiced Black Tea (not an affiliate link) with citrus and cinnamon. It’s actually not my favorite tea blend, but it does make the house smell like Christmas, so I can’t complain.

Good Sunday morning and welcome to my front porch for Sunday Morning Tea!

For the uninitiated, Sunday Morning Tea is my virtual writing salon, where we talk about our writing goals and projects while sipping on a hot cuppa tea!

The holiday season has officially started, so today I’m drinking another Harney and Sons favorite, Turmeric Spice with Kava, from my Black Santa mug and praying that once I get to the bottom of the cup, I’ll be in the Christmas spirit…

I won’t make any promises, though. This was a tough year.

Sunday Morning Tea: Nov 27, 2022

Good Sunday morning afternoon and welcome to my front porch for Sunday Morning Tea!

For the uninitiated, Sunday Morning Tea is my virtual writing salon, where we talk about our writing goals and projects while sipping on a hot cuppa tea!

I overslept this morning. It’s a cool and dreary day, with barely any sunlight coming through the window blinds. In fact, when I woke up this…afternoon, I thought it was still early…until I looked at the clock…

So today I’m drinking a steaming hot mug of black tea, which I’ve been told has more caffeine than coffee. We’ll see if my energy level spikes in about 20 minutes.
