A Nice Cuppa

Last week’s Dining In/Dining Out section of the New York Times featured a short and sweet article about iced coffee. Turns out you can brew coffee cold. Who knew? Cindy Price writes that “without the bitterness produced by hot water, the cold-brewed coffee had hints of chocolate, even caramel.” And who […]

I stumbled upon this recipe the other day in a Martha Stewart Good Things book that I picked up at a used bookstore. My rhubarb is already starting to shoot up like a weed, plus rhubarb is one of the very few local, organic fruits you can find in season this time of year, so […]

A unique tea gift set is a great gift to give anyone for Valentine’s Day. Both men and women appreciate tea and it can be a loving or platonic gift.

Dunkin’ Donuts definitely got the memo about how much people love Starbucks seasonal Gingerbread Latte, because this year they’ve added one to their menu too.  In a press release several weeks back, the famed donut maker introduced the world to their version of the holiday themed drink.  Dunkin’ Donuts describes their version of the Gingerbread […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas — every store is bedecked in its holiday finest, and one local radio station has switched into all Christmas song mode.
