Tea Making Tips

January 30, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Do you know how to brew a proper cup of tea? No? Well, have I got a treat for you: I just love these old instructional videos. Oftentimes they are unintentionally funny. And I love the way they give us a little glimpse of another time. Leave it to the British to make sure that…

January 27, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I’ve made two brief shopping trips since my last “slow month” update. I had volunteered to make a big pan of green beans for a local charity organization so I ran in to Apple Market following the MLK event Monday. I needed green beans and bacon for the dish (I still had onion at home)…

English Muffin Bread

January 26, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’m sure I’m not the only one who pins recipes to Pinterest but doesn’t get around to trying them, right? Well, I’m going to change that. As I was thinking about tonight’s dinner (broccoli soup) I decided we needed some bread to go with it. I looked at my “Food and Wine” Pinterest board for something quick…

January 18, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’m in the process of writing a new issue of my “Tea With Dee” newsletter. I started it back in February of 2005 but last year I pretty much let it go, thinking that surely everyone got enough of what I had to say via my blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. However, before I shut it…
