Quest for the perfect paper cup
It goes without saying that we’re always tasting new tea around here. And then yesterday I caught Richard in the tasting area, slurping away from a ceramic mug and a paper cup that looked like they were filled with water. Yup — a water tasting. But it’s not what you think. See, Richard loves the taste of the water in here in Basalt, Colo., which comes from a natural spring on top of Basalt Mountain, above town. We don’t even have a water filter on our office sink. What he was really finding out was what his favorite water tastes like in each of these cups.

I got on the phone with Dee Dee Rosenfeld of Hilton Head, S.C., and here’s what she said about the planet of Mercury being in retrograde: “Anything that can happen, will happen. You hear from people you haven’t heard from in a while, you lose things and find them. It affects travel, communication and electronics. Never put a new program on your computer [when Mercury … Continue reading

Chai, chai cookies and … Darjeeling?
As the newest member of the two leaves and a bud team, I’m well aware that the fastest way into the hearts of my new coworkers is with baked goods. So when my first day in the office included a guided tasting of chai teas with Richard, it seemed like a no-brainer to go home and bake some chai sugar cookies. Maybe you’re familiar with chai tea, an Assam tea that’s blended with warm, hearty spices like cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. As it happened, I had a never-been-cracked-open bottle of McCormick’s Gourmet Collection Chai Spice Blend in my pantry, which is a blend of those chai spices that can be used to add that mysterious, spicy quality to cakes, puddings and cookies. So I used the spice company’s recipe for Chai Sugar Cookies, with the intention of pairing it with … Continue reading
