I have vanilla grass.

I grew up with a tradition of afternoon tea, which came from the Dutch and English side of the family. Mom and grandma had tea and I remember wonderful gatherings of many of my grandma's 8 sisters for afternoon tea. Mom said she had it at her grandma's too, so when I serve tea I like to include great grandma's little china platter for the sweets. But Dutch tea is just plain tea with a cookie, usually a gingerbread one! It took me a while to loose the "high tea" moniker for afternoon tea, I guess Americans think that an afternoon tea with all the china is a "high falutin' affair!" I love all the variations of tea service pieces! Although I can ill afford to ever have a formal tea since I am at work all the time in the afternoon and rarely have company on weekends. I am also greatly enamoured of canapes and finger sandwiches, I love the idea of being able to try a few bites of a lot of different tastes! Again, not something I get to indulge in very often. That's a meal we don't often have anymore at my house, the "make your own sandwich" spread that my mom used to put out. I know it is very common in Europe as a dinner, just some breads, cheeses and meats set out on the table with a few other accompaniments. At least that's the way it was back in the 80's when I was in Germany. They have great coffee houses too. We have them here in the states but no where near as many fine ones. My current town has a nice coffee house but it is not very exciting when it comes to the food offerings. The same dull limited options every single day. The market won't bear anything more I guess.

A couple summers ago, a friend brought me a couple bottles of organic turmeric - ginger drink. There was also lemon in the mix. It was fantastic. I should try to make some. Anyone here ever make it? I seem to recall it being quite clear. Yum. dcarch — I’ve never tried coconut water. Do you make it yourself or purchase ready made? Can you recommend a good brand? Carbonated drink and CO2 cartridges Some months ago, into the pandemic a bit, I read an article about there being some shortage of (pretty sure it was CO2. And I wondered how that could be. Perhaps it was something else. Isn’t CO2 everywhere? Did anyone else come across an article like this? Or, what was the common commodity that we all assume will always be available? I must have carbonated my brain. The article spoke of shortages such that research labs were only able to get limited supplies. Sort of like there was some big bubble motherload of it beneath _____ (Pangea?). It seemed like it was CO2 because those home carbonated water units came to mind. But, isn’t CO2 easy to generate and capture? How could there be a limited supply?
