- [Happy St. Paddy's Day](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/happy-st-paddys-day/) - As did so many Irish immigrants after the potato famine in Ireland, in 1928 my Dad came to America, landing in Boston, with his mother and younger brother. His dad arrived a year before, to establish himself in the community before welcoming his family to their new home. Growing up as the daughter of an
- [SACHER TORTE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/sacher-torte/) - On our recent trip to Vienna, a slice of authentic SACHER TORTE was on the "must eat" list (along with schnitzel, sauerbraten, sausage, spaetzle, and pretzels) ... at one of Vienna's famous coffee houses, of course. Do I have your attention yet? Vienna is world famous for its desserts, all of which are named after
- [APPLE STRUDEL or "Apfelstrudel"](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/apple-strudel-or-apfelstrudel/) - I love to bake. And anyone who knows me, pretty much knows that when I'm baking, I'm in my 'happy place'. Cakes, cookies, pastries ... it doesn't matter. And, it really doesn't matter if the bake comes out tasty or not (well, maybe a bit). Each and every one is fun to make as well
- [BLUEBERRY PICKIN' TIME](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/blueberry-pickin-time/) - One of my favorite times of the year ... blueberry pickin' time! I love blueberries ... doesn't everyone! When my children were very young, each summer we'd each gather whatever plastic buckets or tin cans we could find and climb the hills near our home. All along the trails grew wild blueberries. Wild blueberries, unlike
- [Milk in Tea ...](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/milk-in-tea/) - How do you take your tea? With milk ... or without? This isn't the debate about whether milk goes in first or last. That is a topic for a different day. This discussion is about why are we adding milk to tea at all! Many people would never think of having a cuppa tea without adding
- [Cowboys and Englishmen?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/cowboys-and-englishmen/) - We just returned from a wonderful, much-needed vacation ... two weeks in Texas. We flew into San Antonio and did the Alamo experience, one which I heartily recommend. But the height of our vacation was the week we spent at a guest ranch in the 'cowboy capital of the country'. Of course, before arriving, we
- [PIES ... Glorious Pies!](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/pies-glorious-pies/) - You cannot think of British comfort food without thinking of 'fish 'n chips', the breakfast 'fry up', 'pasties' and, of course PIES! Whether it’s lunch time, tea time or a take-away, pies are everywhere … hot, warm, or cold … pork pies, steak pies, chicken or fish pies. It might be a grab-and-go pie for
- [PANCAKES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/pancakes/) - In preparation of Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, or Pancake Tuesday, which falls on March 1st, I thought I'd practice making 'pancakes'. Yup, hubby loves 'his' pancakes ... and I've never made them. For me, pancakes should be thick, fluffy, even cake-like, stacked on top of each other. But in the U.K., pancakes never seem
- [PARKIN](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/parkin/) - I love to watch cooking shows ... and, based upon the number of shows available on tv these days, I'm not alone. The one I'm enjoying at the moment is a celebrity chef from England, James Martin. His show, HOME COMFORTS (on Amazon Prime), showcases comfort foods that Martin loves to cook at home when
- [CHEESE ROLLING?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/cheese-rolling/) - It's the end of January and, although it hasn't been a bad winter, I'm feeling a bit like a caged animal ... ready to pounce on anything that looks the least bit exciting. Snow is in the forecast ... again. Covid restrictions are still in place for many activities. Family and friends are still hunkering
- [Bath .... a fascinating city!](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/bath-a-fascinating-city/) - We try to visit England as often as we can and each time we do we select a different region or city. Hubby remembered visiting Bath once when he was a child. So, Bath it is! From the moment we arrived, I knew I was going to love England's only World Heritage City. It might
- [The Queen's Grocer, Fortnum & Mason](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-queens-grocer-fortnum-mason/) - Would you believe the Queen of England and I have something in common? Yes, we do. And it is that FORTNUM & MASON is our favorite grocery store. Yes, this extraordinary store selling some of the most exclusive and expensive items in the world, is a grocery store. And my favorite! If you've ever visited
- [O Christmas Tree ... O Christmas Tree](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/o-christmas-tree-o-christmas-tree/) - The Christmas season is here and we're all beginning the much-anticipated, sometimes stressful and often-times expensive process of 'decorating' for the holiday. From the balsam wreath on the front door to the strings of garlands, lights and, of course, the TREE, it can be an exhausting and exasperating project. Today, however, we seem to have
- [Did You Know . . . .](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/did-you-know/) - Did you know that ... ... all "tea" comes from one plant, of which there are over 3,000 varieties. ... except for water, tea is the most popular beverage in the world. ... China grows more tea than any other country, but they are not the largest exporter. ... tea improves concentration, mood, and energy,
- [STICKY TOFFEE APPLE PUDDING](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/sticky-toffee-apple-pudding/) - It's Fall and what do you do on a gorgeous Fall day in New England? Go apple picking, of course! We were in New Hampshire and stumbled onto this remote, little apple orchard located down a very long, dirt road, nestled among tall, lumbering pine trees. No fancy signs with balloons announcing their location. No
- [CLIPPER SHIPS and the GREAT TEA RACE of 1866](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/clipper-ships-and-the-great-tea-race-of-1866/) - I hope you've had a chance to read my blog about THE JOHN COMPANY, formally known as the British East India Company, which led the trading of tea and other exotic goods from the Far East to Europe, Great Britain and the New World. For more than 200 years the British East India Company dominated
- [Beaches and a Bathing Machine?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/covid-15-beaches-and-a-bathing-machine/) - Its amazing to me that a year has gone by since the word "pandemic" became part of our everyday conversation. Pandemic ... social distancing ... quarantining ... what a crazy, upside down world it has been. Most of our pleasures and activities have had to be put on hold. For the past year, many of
- [A Perfect Cuppa](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/a-perfect-cuppa/) - Yes, I know, everyone knows how to make a cup of tea. Right? Wrong! I am simply amazed at how many people make tea BADLY. The water is generally not hot enough, or too hot. If they use a teabag, it's left in the cup or pot FOREVER! And these are the very same people
- [TEA ... a Primer](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/tea-a-primer/) - Such a simple word "tea" ... which provides us with such a simple beverage. Why then, oh why, do so many people make it seem so complicated? Do we really need to know about the origin, production and preparation of the leaf? Can't we just enjoy our cuppa without being told its pedigree? It doesn't
- [Millionaire's Shortbread](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/millionaires-shortbread/) - The first time I had this rich, buttery piece of deliciousness was about ten years ago, in a basement tearoom of an old Manor House in Cornwall. The tearoom was very modest, providing visitors with just a quick cuppa and a biscuit (cookie) or scone. But standing out among the other biscuits was this stunning shortbread .... a buttery cookie
- [ECCLES CAKES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/eccles-cakes/) - What a strange name ... Eccles Cakes (especially when you consider they aren't cakes at all). On one of our early trips to England, hubby said "I know you're going to love these things. Don't ask. Just try one." Knowing me as well as he does, I fell in love with them. These hand-held puff
- [DARJEELING](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/darjeeling/) - Before I became involved with tea, I have to admit I'd never heard of Darjeeling ... not the tea, nor the place. When, on the few occasions I bought tea, which was just scanning the boxes on the supermarket shelves and picking up a familiar brand name, or whatever was on sale, never would I
- [PIT BROW LASSES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/pit-brow-lasses/) - If you read my post on "THE COURTING CAKE" you might remember where I mentioned how the coal mines in Great Britain during the Industrial Revolution were staffed by, not only men, but women too. Today is National Women's Day and, I feel, it's the perfect day to shine a little light on these brave,
- [FISH 'N CHIPS](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/fish-n-chips/) - Probably the most identifiable dish in all of Great Britain is 'fish 'n chips'. There are "fish shops" or "chippies" on every corner in every village, city and town. Originally, just a 'take away' dish, the "National Association of Fish Friers" says there are now over 10,000 fish shops around the U.K. Imagine, though, that
- [ORANGE SUNSHINE CAKE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/orange-sunshine-cake/) - I was watching a re-run recently of one of the older Great British Bake Off episodes (yes, I do watch them over and over again) and the technical challenge presented by Mary was an "Angel Food Cake". The contestants all appeared completely baffled by this challenge, but I smiled to myself, knowing that I had
- [STONEHENGE and the MAN WHO BOUGHT IT](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/stonehenge-and-the-man-who-bought-it/) - We've had the opportunity to visit Stonehenge a couple of times. The first time was quite a few years ago when Stonehenge was not the massive tourist attraction it is today. Yes, there was a modest entrance fee, but the site was quite accessible. A small fence, which you could easily step over, surrounded the
- [SOCCER .... Who Really Invented It?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/soccer-who-really-invented-it/) - Soccer (or Football as everyone else calls it) is the most beloved game in the world. Turn on the television any weekend and you'll see games being telecast from all over the world. Do I play soccer? No. Have I ever played soccer? No. But , I've watched kids play soccer in empty lots, street
- [When Life Gives You Lemons ... Make Lemon Curd!](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/when-life-gives-you-lemons-make-lemon-curd/) - You thought I was going to say 'lemonade', didn't you? Nope! When life gets complicated, stressful, unsettling and you need to withdraw into your own private space to reflect and relax, try making something. Something a little different. Something unique. Something delicious! For me, it's been a very busy week, and I've been tugged in
- [Pistachio Cardamom Cake](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/pistachio-cardamom-cake/) - We had to get out. You must know that feeling by now. "It was a snowy, cold Sunday afternoon, you've been in all week and the walls are closing in around you ... you have to get out of the house." Well, that was hubby and I. We ended up going to a little out-of-the-way
- [The Vikings and the City of York](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-vikings-and-the-city-of-york/) - I was looking for some inspiration to write about and my grandson mentioned that he was playing a video game about Vikings. He wanted to know if Vikings played any part in the culture of England. Well, there it was, the inspiration I was looking for. Vikings and the city of York. I'm sure you're
- [Happy "WOMEN'S CHRISTMAS" or "NOLLAIG NA MBAN"](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/happy-womens-christmas-or-nollaig-na-mban/) - Celebrated 12 days after Christmas, on January 6th, is Women's Christmas or Nollaig na mBan as it is called in Ireland (pronounced Null-ug na Mon). Some of us might know this date as the Feast of the Epiphany, the day when Christians believe the Three Wise Men arrived in Bethlehem bearing gifts for the Christ child. But
- [DUNDEE CAKE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/dundee-cake/) - I know, I know ... Fruit Cake, the most hated cake in the world! I've heard all the jokes . . . ..."only good as a door stop" ... "found one in King Tut's tomb and it was still edible" ... "advice is like fruit cake, something everyone gives, but no one wants" ... "a
- [THE MOULD RUNNERS](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-mould-runners/) - I believe most of us have a few cherished heirloom plates, bowls or cups in our cupboard which may have been handed down from loved ones, or which caught our eye in an antique shop, or even a thrift store. From the shelf they call out to us with their beauty, their intricate design or
- ["THE" Anne Hathaway](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-anne-hathaway/) - No, not the one who starred as Catwoman in Batman or Fantine in Les Miserables, but the original ..... the one who was married to William Shakespeare. There is so-o-o much written about William Shakespeare, prolific poet and playwright, but there is practically no information on his wife, Anne Hathaway. After visiting the charming 'cottage' (which
- [GINGERBEAD - THE RECIPE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/gingerbead-the-recipe/) - Just a few months ago I posted a blog titled "Gingerbread". In case you think I might be losing my mind, I'm not (hopefully), this blog is about making (and eating) Gingerbread. If you want to know the origins of how this exotic spice became such an important part of the culture in Great Britain,
- [THE PILGRIMS ... THE PLANTATION](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-pilgrims-the-plantation/) - I've visited the Plimoth Plantation many times, but it had been a few years since my last visit. Recently, having been housebound because of Covid, all of us needed a bit of stimulation. So after picking up the grandkids, off we went to experience, once again, the living history museum replicating where the Pilgrims first
- [LAPSANG SOUCHONG](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/lapsang-souchong/) - Lapsang Souchong, the tea that infuses fear and terror into the most seasoned tea drinkers. But why? This time of year my tastes change and I begin looking for deeper, darker, richer flavors - regardless of what foods it might be. Light, refreshing salads are gone from my table to be replaced by hearty soups
- [A STOVE, RANGE, HOB, OR COOKER?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/a-stove-range-hob-or-cooker/) - Whatever you call it, you can't live without it ... and we just got a new one. But, I had no idea it was going to be such a challenging purchase. Assuming you have a specific size and know you need it to be fueled by gas or electricity (or do you want duel-fuel), you
- [BLUE WILLOW](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/blue-willow/) - Do you have any "Blue Willow" dinnerware in your cupboards, or maybe tucked away in the attic? The "Blue Willow" pattern in dinnerware is one of the most popular patterns ever produced. At one time, most every household in the U.K. and U.S. had a set. Early on, it was used only for special occasions,
- [THE LAND ROVER](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-land-rover/) - What a great name! It tells you everything you need to know ... for outdoor people everywhere, to go anywhere, at any time, over any sort of terrain. And, if you are British, you either own one or you'd like to own one. Well, my hubby doesn't own one, but has always wanted to. So,
- [THE BROWN BETTY](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-brown-betty/) - I become practically apoplectic when I watch someone prepare tea using a microwave, a mug and a teabag. I want to shout "stop, what are you doing?" But, of course, I don't. The reason why is because it really doesn't matter to them that what they are doing is not preparing tea, but making some
- [What's In a Name?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/whats-in-a-name/) - TEA ... what a strange name for a beverage. A beverage which originated in China over 5,000 years ago. A beverage which comes from infusing the leaves of a specific plant into hot water. A beverage which has been drunk and enjoyed around the world for centuries. Where did this simple name come from? The
- [GINGERBREAD](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/gingerbread/) - Who thinks of "gingerbread" in April? In America, "gingerbread" doesn't seem to enter our thinking until the holidays start approaching. And even then, we tend to think of gingerbread only in the form of gingerbread men cookies and gingerbread houses. In the U.K. and throughout Europe, however, gingerbread is available, purchased, baked and enjoyed year
- [THE PEARLIES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-pearlies/) - Have you ever visited London and come across a handful of colorful characters dressed head-to-toe in black outfits completely 'blinged' out with mother-of-pearl buttons? Probably in a parade or at a charity event? Well, if you haven't, then you've missed a wonderful treat ... and tradition. Pearlies began in London in the early 1800s as
- [JAFFA CAKES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/jaffa-cakes/) - With this world wide global marketplace in which we now live, it seems we have available anything we want from anywhere at anytime. Teas from China ... cotton sheets from Egypt ... woolen scarves from Scotland ... wild salmon from Alaska ... it's all there in the stores. But, when you want some Jaffa Cakes,
- [CRUMPETS](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/crumpets/) - We're all doing our best during these stressful times to stay home, stay active and stay informed. Hubby and I put it off as long as we could, but finally had to make our way into the grocery store. Well, it was obvious that we were quite a bit late. Needless to say, all the
- [CHATELAINES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/chatelaines/) - "Chatelaines" ... what a delicate, intriguing word. If you don't know what they are, let your mind wander a bit and come up with your own definition. Could they be a buttery, flaky French pastry you've never heard of? Or perhaps, a little embroidered purse into which you'd put your loose change? Maybe, they refer
- [OATMEAL SCONES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/oatmeal-scones/) - To keep my sanity during these stressful times, my baking marathon continues. For me, baking is not only relaxing, it gives me something to focus on, fuels my creativity, as well as provides a really yummy end product (well, most of the time). Even if it doesn't look good, most bakes taste good and that's
- [CORNED BEEF and CABBAGE?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/corned-beef-and-cabbage/) - How did corned beef and cabbage become associated with the celebration of St. Patrick's Day? It just seems strange to me ... especially considering you'll be hard pressed to find corned beef in Ireland. Cabbage? No problem. It's plentiful and prevalent in many dishes ... along with potatoes, turnips, carrots. Colcannon (cabbage and potatoes) being
- [ABERFAN](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/aberfan/) - I wished we had known about Aberfan before we traveled through Wales. We would have visited this little hamlet to pay our respects. Although the horrific catastrophe took place over 50 years ago, I wonder if that community has ever really healed. Losing half the town's population of children, 116, and 28 adults in a
- [Princess Alice of Battenburg](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/princess-alice-of-battenburg/) - Has anyone else been watching this season's THE CROWN on Netflix? I am spellbound by this remarkably well-made, historical drama. From the stunningly beautiful and lavish set designs to the dramatic vistas and landscapes, the authentically-detailed period costumes, and, of course, the remarkable portrayals of each of the Royal family by such a talented cast,
- [WHITBY FISH PIE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/whitby-fish-pie/) - Whitby is a charming, seaside village in north Yorkshire. Although we have visited quite a few times, there's no real reason for most people to have heard of Whitby ... unless you've followed the career of Captain Cook or have read Bram Stoker's novel DRACULA. Actually, quite a few literary geniuses have lived or visited
- [Portsmouth's Dockyard](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/portsmouths-dockyard/) - When hubby suggested that we visit the Portsmouth Shipyard while in England this past fall, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. A visit to a naval base? My Dad worked at a naval base for years (one of the oldest shipbuilding facilities in this country), so I'm quite familiar with touring historic
- [Barm Brack](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/barm-brack/) - The first time I had Barm Brack was in Ireland about 35 years ago when it was served to me with breakfast ... warm from the oven, rich and dark, speckled with dried fruits and slathered in sweet, creamy butter. Barm Brack is not a bread you see for sale here in the U.S. unless
- [GBBO . . . what's happened to you?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/gbbo-whats-happened-to-you/) - What has happened to the Great British Bake Off? Now in season 10 (or is it 9, maybe 8?) it has become a showcase of unattainable, unrelatable challenges. No longer is it a baking show to which home bakers can think about, perhaps some day, challenging themselves to bake that irresistible, classic cake/pie/tart/bread/roll/pastry. Now the
- [CAKE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/cake/) - One of the oldest forms of what originated as a sweetened bread is cake. In its simplest form, it is flour, sugar, milk, eggs, and butter, but it can be so much more than just that. Cake can evoke so many different emotions and memories in each of us. From the modest, but much-loved birthday
- [TOMATO JAM](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/tomato-jam/) - I love gardening ... flowers, vegetables, it doesn't matter. So after returning from a two-week trip to England, I was anxious to see how my vegetable garden had faired without my constant attention. Because it was the middle of September and I knew the veggies, especially tomatoes, would be ripening on the vine, I told
- [THE BEATLES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-beatles/) - I'm sure you're all scratching your heads wondering why in the world would I be writing about the Beatles. What could they possibly have to do with a blog called TEA, TOAST and TRAVEL? Well, they certainly do qualify ... definitely from England, and they were all "tea" drinkers. We just returned from a two-week
- [ZUCCHINI TOMATO GALETTE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/zucchini-tomato-galette/) - What's better than being able to go out into the vegetable garden and pick whatever veggies you want for dinner that evening. Again this summer, my garden has produced an over-abundance of zucchini. In addition to making all my favorite zucchini recipes - muffins, chocolate zucchini bread, mock apple streudel, ratatouille, fritters and frittata -
- [GENDER INEQUALITY in TEA?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/gender-inequality-in-tea/) - I was reading an interesting article the other day about the perceived femininity of "tea" ... with which I had to agree. In this country, except for the ready-to-drink bottled iced tea products, advertising is targeted primarily to women over the age of 35. If you ask someone to describe an image of "tea drinking",
- [THE NATIONAL LOAF](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-national-loaf/) - Today is the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the allied invasion of Normandy, which was a major turning point during World War II. The horrors of war are untold and we are very fortunate to live in a country in which we haven't had to fight a world war on our soil. I realize the Civil
- [SOUR CREAM PECAN BUNDT CAKE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/sour-cream-pecan-bundt-cake/) - Call me a baking geek or just a home-body .... but, much like an avid fisherman who can't wait for that new fishing lure, I LOVE getting a cool, new baking gadget or pan. I can be found some days trolling the aisles in Williams Sonoma or Sur le Table, even the restaurant supply warehouse,
- [CAFFEINE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/caffeine/) - This site is about 'tea', as well as 'toast' and 'travel'. But, it seems lately I haven't posted much about the actual beverage 'tea'. Many people think this is a site about food only. Actually, it was my love for 'tea' and the closing of my tea business which prompted me to start this blog.
- ['GROWNUP' CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/grownup-chocolate-chip-cookies/) - I recently visited a bakery. A brand-new, just-opened, homey, woman-owned and operated bakery right in the center of town. Everything should have worked. Was there a part of me that was just a wee bit envious? Absolutely. I won't deny that. So what did I do? I ordered one of everything. Yup! One frosted brownie,
- [LEMON LAVENDER SCONES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/lemon-lavender-scones/) - It's another wintry day and, as with most everyone, I'm ready for spring. Not, of course, that we've had a bad winter, but ... I'm still ready for spring. So, to brighten my mood, I am going to buy some bright, cheerful flowers and then make scones. Not everyday scones, but fresh, fragrant Lemon Lavender
- [THE COURTING CAKE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-courting-cake/) - Today you might think it a very thoughtful gesture to ‘bake a cake’ for your loved one … especially for Valentine’s Day. But there was a time, in northern Britain, when baking a cake to show your love was exactly what you did. Lancashire County, north of Cheshire and west of Yorkshire, was a very
- [Chocolate - The Elixir of Love](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/chocolate-the-elixir-of-love/) - Every February we are inundated with tv, internet, magazine and newspaper ads all selling the "passion" of chocolate. Roses have been pushed aside. Valentine cards are a thing of the past. Now chocolate has become the one true symbol of love and romance. I need to find out not only how our obsession with chocolate
- [GUINNESS](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/guinness/) - Do I drink Guinness? No. I've tried Guinness ... but just don't like it. I am, however, in the minority. Guinness is one of the most popular beers in the world. So why am I blogging about something I don't care for? Because I find their story fascinating. With so many breweries, not only in
- [CHICKEN "POT" PIE WITH ROASTED VEG](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/chicken-pot-pie-with-roasted-veg/) - I wonder why Americans add "pot" in the name of a meat pie. In the U.K. this is a "chicken pie with roasted veg", but here in the states, it is a "chicken pot pie". It doesn't really matter to me what it is called, as long as its delicious ... which this pie is!
- [DONUT DOLLIES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/donut-dollies/) - Who doesn't love donuts. The puffy little mounds of fried deliciousness can be found in countries all over the world. They may or may not have a hole in the middle and they may be called by another name ... beignets, bombaloni, bismarks, sfenj, lokma, badusha and more; but we all know what these deep-fried
- [Peek Freans](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/peek-freans/) - How about "a nice-cuppa-tea-and-a-sit-down"? It's the perfect way to recharge when out for a day of sightseeing, or shopping, or just running errands. The afternoon is winding down and you need to relax for a few moments, over a hot cuppa. And, what do you need when you're having that "sit-down"? A biscuit or two,
- [CUSTARD APPLE PIE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/custard-apple-pie/) - We did not go apple picking this year. I'm not sure why. It's not as if every weekend was so busy we didn't have time. Nonetheless, my frig is stocked with apples. How can anyone pass up those "tote bags" from local orchards in the produce aisle at the grocery store! Not only are apples
- [Whoopie Pies?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/whoopie-pies/) - Yes, I know ... they have nothing to do with Great Britain. Whoopie Pies are uniquely American, actually a New England creation. And, being from New England, I just had a craving for a Whoopie Pie (not sure why). What do you do when you want something and you just know that whatever you buy
- [PUFF PASTRY ... MY 'GO TO'](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/puff-pastry-my-go-to/) - I know I've mentioned it before, but puff pastry is my absolute 'go to' when I want to make an impressive-looking dessert. Take a peek in my freezer and you'll always find a couple of packages. All you need to do is take out a sheet or two, let it thaw in the refrigerator, and
- [MARY MALLON, A SURVIVOR](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/mary-mallon-a-survivor/) - I just finished reading a book by Anthony Bourdain, entitled TYPHOID MARY. It was a quick and easy read about a subject which I found fascinating. No, not the fact that Mary Mallon from Cookstown, Ireland, unknowingly infected many people with typhoid, three of whom died. What I found fascinating was how resilient and resourceful
- [JAM ROLY POLY](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/jam-roly-poly/) - I've been hearing the name "JAM ROLY POLY" for years but have never been quite sure what it was. I thought it might just be a silly name for an English version of a jelly roll cake or a rolled pastry filled with jam. With a name like that, it definitely has to be a
- [THE REAL DOWNTON ABBEY](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-real-downton-abbey/) - It's hard for me to realize that I haven't posted all summer!! What have I been doing? Going to the beach? Nope. On vacation? Nope. Long, lazy, relaxing days of doing nothing? Nope. But, somehow the summer has now come and gone, and some of you have been wondering where I've been. I'll be darned
- [ZUCCHINI STREUSEL BREAD](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/zucchini-streusel-bread/) - If you check out my recipes page, you'll find that I have quite a few "zucchini" recipes. There's a reason for that ... some vegetables I can grow easily, and zucchini is one of them. I've picked the last of the summer's crop of zucchini for this year, and, believe me, it was a bumper
- [STRAWBERRIES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/strawberries/) - I love strawberries and every year I buy a few strawberry plants and plant them in the garden. Yes, I know. Strawberries are perennials, which means the plant grows back every year ... in the same place ... generally bigger and stronger than the year before. But, not for me. Every spring I look to
- [Where Have All the Tea Rooms Gone?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/where-have-all-the-tea-rooms-gone/) - My first visit to a tea room was in London in 1986. During that trip, I visited as many as I could, from the grand Afternoon Tea hotel experience to the simple, unassuming village repast. I took what I learned and incorporated it into my business - serving tea to our guests. They loved it.
- [TEA in SPAIN](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/tea-in-spain/) - I really should title this post "Searching for Tea in Spain" ... because I was hard pressed on our recent trip to find any. No, I'm not talking about the obligatory selection of tea bags sitting next to the carafe of hot water at the breakfast buffet in the hotel. And, of course, if you ordered
- [Mother's Milk](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/mothers-milk/) - I am the grandmother of yet another grandbaby ... which number it is, honestly, I've forgotten. All that matters is each one is perfect and I love them all. Their name, however, may occasionally slip away from me (but just for a moment). While visiting with the new Momma recently, it was necessary to reassure
- [MARZIPAN - MARCH BREAD](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/marzipan-march-bread/) - First of all, I love sweets! Yes, I've said it. Candy, chocolates, pastry, cakes, pies and tarts! I do not discriminate. There's hardly a bakery, patisserie, Godiva, Lindt or Ghirardelli shop I haven't been into. Whenever I travel, I am immediately and irresistibly drawn to specialty confection and pastry shops. Our recent trip to Spain satisfied
- [THE 'CUP' CAKE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-cup-cake/) - As I'm sure most of you, I grew up with the occasional packaged cupcake treat in my lunchbox. Whether it was Little Debbie's or Hostess, that chocolaty cupcake with its white squiggle and creamy surprise inside was a lunchtime treat. Or if you were lucky enough to have a Mom who enjoyed baking, you probably
- [PANCAKE DAY!](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/pancake-day/) - In Great Britain, Tuesday is Pancake Day and time for the Great Pancake Race! All across the country, villages and small towns will be celebrating their Shrove Tuesday by flipping pancakes! Tuesday is known as Shrove Tuesday, or Fat Tuesday. In French, this day translates to a name I'm sure everyone is more familiar with ...
- [CHAI ... it's sordid beginnings](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/chai-its-sordid-beginnings/) - In many languages "cha" or "chai" is the word for tea. Chai, or Masala tea as it is called in India, is that milky, spicy, sweet, hot beverage we've all come to love. Knowing the humble origins of chai, I'm amazed when I go to stores like Home Goods or TJ Maxx or even Ocean
- [The "Teddy" Bear](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-teddy-bear/) - I'm always curious about the origins of those things we hold dear. One of those "things" that has always puzzled me is the 'teddy bear'. Where did our love for this small, stuffed, fuzzy animal toy come from? Why the bear? How did it get its name and how did it become the most popular,
- [STEAK AND MUSHROOM PIE](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/steak-and-mushroom-pie/) - It's all about the PIE in the U.K. Whether it's lunch time, tea time or a take-away, pies are everywhere ... hot, warm, or cold ... pork pies, steak pies, chicken pies, fish pies, even mixed veg pies. Eaten at home, at a restaurant, or while walking down the street, the pie can be a
- [Biscotti Time](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/biscotti-time/) - I know ... I know ... this blog is about the foods of Great Britain. But I do have to acknowledge my Italian heritage occasionally. And what is better than biscotti! Crunchy, sweet and perfect any time of the day. As much as I love to dip them into a piping hot cup of Irish
- [CHOCOLATE CHIP WALNUT BISCOTTI](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/chocolate-chip-walnut-biscotti/) - It's a cold, snowy Sunday in January. What do you do? Curl up on the sofa and read a book? Maybe! But, first how about baking a batch of delicious biscotti. After which, curling up on the sofa with a piping hot mug of tea, yummy biscotti and a good book sounds like a perfect
- [THE PANTO](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-panto/) - When hubby told me we were going to the theater to see a Pantomime , I thought 'how strange ... a play done silently, without words, just using gestures and expressions'. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. In England, a Pantomime is anything but a silent, wordless production. It is a bawdy, slapstick, over-the-top
- [MACARONS or MACAROONS?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/macarons-or-macaroons/) - This is the trendiest dessert/cookie to hit the food industry since probably Baked Alaska. No, not the coconut "macaroon" you see in the grocery stores at Passover, I'm talking about the classic, tiny, ganache-filled French Macaron ... pronounced with a short "O" like "on" not a looong "O" as in "une" ... and made with ground almonds,
- [PUMPKIN MUFFINS with CRUMB TOPPING](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/pumpkin-muffins-with-crumb-topping/) - If "the muffin man" knew about these muffins, he'd still be in business today. Dark, moist, spicy and absolutely delicious. I'm pretty sure this easy-to-make recipe will become one of your "keepers" ... and not just in the fall season. The ingredient list might look long, but it is repetitive, so don't be concerned. You
- [JACK OF THE LANTERN](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/jack-of-the-lantern/) - Halloween is fast approaching and the Jack O'Lanterns are everywhere! It's amazing to me how this holiday has grown from a simple childhood prank to the huge retail and celebratory event it is today. The most iconic image associated with Halloween is, of course, the Jack O'Lantern. But, did you know how these sometimes simple,
- [THE MUFFIN MAN](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-muffin-man/) - Do you know the muffin man ... the muffin man ... the muffin man? Well, if you mean the one who lives on Drury Lane ... Yes, I know the muffin man! I am dating myself now, quite certainly, by recalling this childhood song. I doubt any millennials can sing it, or have ever heard
- [BREAKFAST TEAS](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/breakfast-teas/) - Have you ever had one of those nights when you're laying in bed and your head becomes full of the most bizarre, unrelated thoughts. As hard as you try to toss them aside, you can't. Those thoughts just keep coming back into your consciousness ... rolling around and around and around. Well, that's exactly what
- [(MOCK) APPLE STRUDEL](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/mock-apple-strudel/) - I am continuing in what appears to be my "mock apple" series of desserts. Yes, this uses zucchini and, yes, no one will ever know. From all appearances this is a classic strudel, rich, fruity and delicious. It just doesn't have apples in it ... which actually makes it more fool proof. One of the
- [HIGHLAND GAMES](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/highland-games/) - The Highland Games and Festival has been taking place in New Hampshire for 42 years. We've been in New Hampshire for 24 years ... and this was our first visit. Why we haven't made it a point to attend before I'm really not quite sure. Could have been the fact that I was working most
- [SUMMER PUDDING](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/summer-pudding/) - It's June. My most favorite month of the year. It's also our wedding anniversary and I wanted to make a very special British dessert. But when you think of British desserts, heavy, rich pastries, cakes and steamed puddings come to mind. So, what should it be? June is the month when strawberries, raspberries and blackberries
- [Here Zucchini, There Zucchini, EVERYWHERE Zucchini!](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/here-zucchini-there-zucchini-everywhere-zucchini/) - I have never had a harvest of zucchini (courgettes in G.B.) as I've had this year! It's out-of-control! This photo is just from this morning's romp in the garden. Believe me, my garden is small ... and I am no gardener. But, what to do with this latest batch??? So far, I've sliced, diced and
- [Why Was the Hatter MAD?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/why-was-the-hatter-mad/) - Who doesn't love the nonsensical story of a bored little girl, Alice in Wonderland? This classic book, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", written by Lewis Carroll (Charles L. Dodgson) in 1871, has been translated in over 100 languages, has never been out of print and from which 17 movies have been made, the first being filmed in
- [The Diminutive Lady Who Ruled the World](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-diminutive-lady-who-ruled-the-world/) - I've been fascinated by Queen Victoria since watching "VICTORIA" the new Masterpiece series which began on PBS this past year. Jenna Coleman, who rose to fame as the adorable side-kick on the on-so-popular British tv series, Dr. Who, plays the young, diminutive, but strong-willed Queen beautifully. The series so intrigued me that when I saw
- [Lemon Zucchini Drizzle Cake](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/lemon-zucchini-drizzle-cake/) - I might have mentioned in previous posts how much I love the Great British Bake Off. Most of the items the bakers are asked to make I'm familiar with, but occasionally they're asked to bake something that I (and even they) have never heard of. While watching the other night, for the very first challenge,
- [Watercress ...](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/watercress/) - I know what you're saying "Huh, watercress?" I said the same thing when a dear friend suggested that "watercress" could be an interesting topic for my blog. "But, watercress? Whatever could watercress have to do with the U.K. which would make it unique or interesting?" The only association I could make was, of course, tea
- [The Great British Tea Break](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-great-british-tea-break/) - What has happened to the great British tea break? The "tea break" was just a mere 15 minutes, mid-morning and mid-afternoon, where all work stopped to allow workers to regroup, relax for a few moments, and share in a cuppa. And it seems this lack of preserving traditions that were once very important is sadly
- [TOAST](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/toast/) - Have you wondered why I've named this blog 'Tea, Toast and Travel'? Well the 'tea' seems fairly obvious as does the 'travel', but 'toast'? I've had that question asked more than once. For me 'toast' is a warm, crunchy accompaniment to a hot cuppa tea ... slathered in creamy, salty butter and, most often, a
- [Palmiers](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/palmiers/) - If you know me, you know that I adore elephants. Elephants are my most favorite animal (which we can discuss another time), and for some reason my "cannot resist dessert" is Elephant Ears. Is there a connection? I don't know. Elephant Ears, or Pig's Ears, or Palm Leaves are names for what the French call
- [The Tea Cup Story](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-teacup-story/) - I didn't write this. I'm not sure who did. It's just a lovely, inspirational story and I wanted to share it with you. There was a couple who went to England to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery, especially tea cups. While shopping in an antique shop, they spotted an
- [LINZER COOKIES or IS IT TARTS?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/linzer-cookies-or-is-it-tarts/) - Are these rich, shortbread-like nutty pastries with their fruit filling, topped with a sweet powdery cookie called Linzer Tarts or Tortes ... or Linzer Cookies ... or are they Linzer Tart/Torte Cookies? Could they also be Linzer Augen or Linzer Eyes? It's so confusing. I've looked all over the 'web' and I can't seem to
- [Cheese and Onion Pasties](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/cheese-and-onion-pasties/) - Pasties ... Great Britain's most popular 'grab and go' food. Chock full of fillings, pasties or hand pies are available in bakeries, sandwich shops, convenience stores, grocery stores, food trucks and carts ... just about everywhere. Counted among one of hubby's top favs is the "Cheese and Onion Pasty". For the history and origins of the
- [Portmeirion . . . ?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/portmeirion/) - On the southern coast of northern Wales lies the magical village of Portmeirion ... and I couldn't wait to visit. As a subscriber to many travel magazines, Snowdonia and Portmeirion always seemed to pop up as a feature in one or another. The photographs looked amazing, but I must admit I had never bothered
- [Happy Anniversary Alice](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/happy-anniversary-alice/) - Yes, when I was a little girl, I read "Alice in Wonderland"! And I have loved her ever since. There have been untold printings of this whimsical, nonsensical book ... and, of course, numerous movies, tv specials, plays, even comic books; but I had no idea how popular she really was until I started selling
- [The British Food Festival](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-british-food-festival/) - Hubby discovered this event while trolling the Internet a few weeks ago. We had already made plans to be in the County Durham area during that weekend .... yes, of course, I want to go! Master classes ... celebrity chefs ... local artisan foods ... everything that I could learn from and use for my new blog and
- [Whitby Lemon Buns](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/whitby-lemon-buns/) - To set the mood for our upcoming U.K. trip (and because it's a cold, rainy night ... and because I LOVE lemon anything ...) I decided to make Whitby Lemon Buns. Lemons are so-o-o popular in British foods. From lemonade to candied lemon peel, every part of the lemon is used or preserved. In baking, lemon
- [HOT CROSS BUNS](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/hot-cross-buns/) - I know what you're saying, "hot cross buns?". I grew up knowing that hot cross buns always appeared around Easter, and I certainly loved eating them, but I never knew their origin or why they were important to the Easter holiday. During Elizabethan times (16th century) the celebration of Easter was the most important feast
- [Classic English Scones](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/classic-english-scones/) - The Lemon Curd is in the refrigerator chilling and now I'm ready to make the scones. Today, I'm in the mood for a classic English scone. Nothing fancy. No lavender honey scones. No chocolate chips and hazelnuts. Not even currants. Just flaky, buttery, warm from-the-oven scones. You can get creative if you want to
- [Digestives](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/digestives/) - Digestives! What in the world could I be thinking! Do you know what a Digestive Biscuit is? Honestly, it is a relatively unexciting cookie made with whole wheat flour, some oatmeal (not much), brown sugar and baking powder, but Brits love them ... and they go so well with a good cuppa. Fifty-two Digestive biscuits
- ["DOLLAR PRINCESSES"](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/dollar-princesses/) - "Dollar Princesses" ... until today I had never heard that term before. Fascinating when you consider I've watched every single episode of Downton Abbey (maybe twice) and thought I had a very good grasp of every character and plot line. But, today I learned about "dollar princesses", and I am fascinated. Cora Crawley was
- [Christmas Pudding](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/christmas-pudding/) - Christmas Pudding is deep, dark and dense. This moist, sweet dessert is stuffed with dried fruits and nuts, and served with a rich, creamy sauce. Much like a fruitcake, Christmas Pudding is one of those 'love or hate' desserts. In our home, we love it! And it's the season, or at least it will be in
- [Cranberry Nut Bread](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/cranberry-nut-bread/) - My most favorite holiday of all, Thanksgiving, is almost here. I'm not really sure why, perhaps because its just about family and tradition. Christmas comes in at a close second, but Christmas can be stressful. Not Thanksgiving. And Thanksgiving occurs at the most beautiful time of year ... cool, crisp Autumn weather, perfect for
- [It's Pumpkin Time!](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/its-pumpkin-time/) - Pumpkin-flavored anything has taken over the country! I don't know who started it (or why) maybe it was the competition between Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks with their Pumpkin spiced lattes, but the "pumpkin" craze is crazy!! Forget about cookies, pie and cheesecake, now it's all about pumpkin flavored cereals ... and truffles ... and ice
- [Pubs and Their Signs](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/pubs-and-their-signs/) - I LOVE pub signs! From the unimaginative to the incredibly creative, a pub sign gives you a glimpse into what lies behind the door. All across the U.K. pub signs abound. They beckon you to enter, to relax, make yourself comfortable and enjoy a pint. From the U.K. pub signs crossed the Atlantic and
- [Addicted to GBBO](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/addicted-to-gbbo/) - Yes, I will admit it. I am addicted to the "GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF" program on PBS. It doesn't matter which season, or which episode, or which challenge, I will stop what I am doing and watch every action-packed moment. But why? What makes this cooking program any different from the slew of other cooking
- [The Culture Shift ... Tea to Coffee](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-culture-shift-tea-to-coffee/) - What is happening in Great Britain today? Traditional tea rooms are on the decline while lattés, caramelattés, cappuchinos, mochachinos and espresso drinking cafés are on the upswing. The new millenials would rather log on and slurp, than clink cups and sip. Although people are living longer, older generation Brits just can't seem to hold onto
- [Chocolate Brownie Layer Cake](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/chocolate-brownie-layer-cake/) - Why do I call this a "chocolate brownie" layer cake, because it is dense, dark and delicious ... like a chocolaty brownie, but still has the lightness of a cake. And it fits all needs .... cupcakes? no problem. sheet cake? perfect. two layers or three layers? it's up to you. If you are a
- [Raisins, Sultanas or Currants?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/raisins-sultanas-or-currants/) - Have you ever read a British recipe only to see "sultanas" or "currants" as an ingredient? And have you ever then put that recipe down because who has "sultanas" or "currants" in the cupboard? Probably no one in the states. But do you know what they are and what you can use? I'm pretty sure
- [Bara Brith](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/bara-brith/) - In Wales, as in so many countries, it was customary for the women of the household to designate one day as "baking day". The entire day would be spent making all the breads, rolls, cakes and biscuits that would be needed for the week. Using any bread dough that was leftover from making the yeast
- [Madeline's](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/madelines/) - Although this is a classic French cookie, Madeline's have been served at most of the formal teas that I've attended. The classic recipe calls for vanilla flavoring, but I've had many variations from rose, orange, lemon ... some dusted with powdered sugar, some dipped in chocolate ... all of which are absolutely delicious. Baked in
- [A Medieval Inn ....](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/a-medieval-inn/) - We just returned from a trip to the U.K. where we had the opportunity to stay in a 14th century medieval inn, the Shaven Crown, for a couple of nights. Overlooking the village green, the Shaven Crown Inn is located in a quaint little village called "Shipton-under-Wychwood" * in the picturesque Cotswold district of England. When
- [Chicken and Leek Pie](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/chicken-and-leek-pie/) - This classic Welsh "pie" is served on March 1st which is St. David's Day. St. David's Day celebrates Wales' patron saint with celebrations all across the U.K. Born in the 6th century, Fr. David was heavily involved in missionary work and founded a number of monasteries. As a strong leader and with a strict adherence to Christian
- [The Crown Jewel - Asparagus?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-crown-jewel-asparagus/) - Asparagus? Really! You're going to write about asparagus? I know .... sounds a bit bizarre doesn't it. To me, asparagus, like tulips, lamb, and opening day for the Red Sox just signifies Spring. But here it is the fourth day of April, after last week's 60 degree temperatures and I'm watching it snow! You gotta
- [Does the Answer Lie in the Leaves?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/does-the-answer-lie-in-the-leaves/) - Last night I watched the first episode of Outlander. Yes, I know, where have I been the past year? I'm not quite sure if I'm going to like the series or not, but I must admit there was one scene which caught my attention ... Claire and the minister's assistant sitting in the kitchen having
- [BLACK PUDDING or BLOOD PUDDING??](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/black-pudding-or-blood-pudding/) - Growing up my Dad would tell us how he loved blood pudding. He would regale us with how wonderful it was, how it was something he had grown up with, but could never find .... and when he did find it, on a menu in some obscure little diner, that place then became his favorite
- [Aunt Mae's Soda Bread](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/aunt-maes-soda-bread/) - The last time I saw my Aunt Mae was in her bungalow in the village of Tullamore in County Offaly, Ireland. We spent the afternoon sitting at the kitchen table having tea and her freshly-baked soda bread while looking through the family photograph albums. She was a mere slip of a woman, barely 5' tall, with
- [Bye, Bye, Downton Abbey](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/bye-bye-downton-abbey/) - I'm not the only one saddened to see this award-winning British TV series end. It's been six years of pure joy and escapism. For the past six glorious years, we've been transported to the opulent ancestral home of aristocrats Robert, the Earl of Grantham, and his wife, Cora, Countess of Grantham and their daughters, Mary,
- [Treacle Pudding](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/treacle-pudding/) - Hubby wanted "treacle pudding". I know it's available in some international markets sold under the U.K. brand of Heinz in tin cans, but I don't want to open a can. I want to make Treacle Pudding. What I was not sure about was what exactly is "treacle"? I looked in the grocery stores and couldn't
- [The Willow Tea Room](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-willow-tea-room/) - A "must" visit during our trip to Glasgow was the world-famous Willow Tea Room. I have to admit that I didn't know much about the Willow then, just that I had to go. What I did know was this tearoom was designed by one of the most talented architects of the time, Charles Rennie Mackintosh,
- [Toad in the Hole ... my way!](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/toad-in-the-hole-my-way/) - For hubby, this is comfort food to end all comfort foods! Toad in the Hole ... really? Who am I to say what is comfort food. For me, it's Mac 'n Cheese! At least with Mac 'n Cheese you have an idea of what it is. Toad in the Hole . Bubble 'n Squeak .
- [Soup's On!](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/soups-on/) - When I was a little girl I used to love to go to the library. It was such a fascinating place. I loved the high ceilings, the wood paneling and, to my amazement, they had a section just for kids with child-sized tables and chairs, and books ... so-o-o many books! I'd spend hours at
- [A Burns Night Celebration](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/a-burns-night-celebration/) - "Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face Great chieftain o the puddin'-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye worthy o' a grace As lang's my arm." Which translates to ... "Fair and full is your honest, jolly face, Great chieftain of the sausage race! Above them all you
- [The Holidays and then ....](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-holidays-and-then/) - Time is going by at warp speed ... at least for me it is. I can't believe my last post was in November. Somehow it was time for Thanksgiving ... and then Christmas was here almost before i could blink! Now it's all over ... gone ... what happened? It was all too fast. I
- [The "John" Company](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-john-company/) - Why am I writing about this company, which actually changed the face of Britain? Because I am frequently asked "If England never grew tea, how did tea get to England?" Well, here's the answer. It all started with establishing the spice trade for Great Britain and the "John" Company ..... Spices had been known to
- [What's in your cup?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/whats-in-your-cup/) - The timeline is England, late-18th century. Tea has found its way from the table of the aristocracy to the table of the every man. Gone are the days when tea was served to only men in English coffeehouses. In the homes of the aristocracy, tea now is locked away in elaborately-carved wooden tea chests; the
- [Victoria Sandwich vs Victoria Sponge](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/victoria-sandwich-vs-victoria-sponge/) - One of the things I LOVE to do while walking through the town centres anywhere in Great Britain is to go into bakeries. Who wouldn't? The assortment of freshly baked and iced goodies turns me into a willpowerless, carb-craving child each and every time. And every time, I come away with 'one of those, please'
- [Scotch Eggs .... the original Fast Food!](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/scotch-eggs-the-original-fast-food/) - I've been to Scotland, but I never saw a Scotch Egg. In fact, I've never eaten a Scotch Egg. What are they? You certainly don't see them here in the States. And in the U.K., for the most part, they had faded into obscurity ...... until recently that is. It seems this food item was
- [A "European-style" Bed and Breakfast?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/a-european-style-bed-and-breakfast/) - Sometimes you just need to get away .... and this weekend was it for us. Trying to find a cozy, little place to 'get away to', within an hour or so's drive, on a busy summer weekend, when you only have a couple of days (and a budget) is very difficult. But we were
- [Not for "All the Tea in China" . . .](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/not-for-all-the-tea-in-china/) - Who remembers this phrase? "No way, no sir, not for all the Tea in China!" That phrase was not to be challenged. You meant 'no' and you were standing firm. I believe the phrase began around the turn of the century. China was the largest producer and exporter of the world's most popular beverage and everyone
- [The Best Chocolate "Courgette" Bread](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-best-chocolate-courgette-bread/) - Until yesterday I didn't know what a ''courgette" was either! Now I do! It's a ZUCCHINI. In Great Britain, a zucchini is called a "courgette". Also there are "golden courgettes", which we call summer squash. It seems this squash we call "zucchini" was originally from America, but somehow it found its way to Italy and
- [The Classic Tea Sandwich](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/the-classic-tea-sandwich/) - It's August and my garden is overflowing with cucumbers. Yes, I've made pickles. I love half sour pickles .... absolutely delicious! And we've been slicing and dicing them for salads for weeks. But today, in this hot, sticky weather, I have friends coming over for tea ..... the perfect time to make my favorite classic
- [Eton Mess??](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/eton-mess/) - The oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world has just ended and Serena Williams from the U.S. and Novak Djokovic from Serbia are the official champions in the men's and women's singles. All of Great Britain, as well as quite a few other countries, are celebrating! And where there is celebrating, there is
- [From the Wine Trail to the Whisky Trail](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/from-the-wine-trail-to-the-whisky-trail/) - While in New Hampshire this past weekend, we thought it might be nice to visit some local wineries. New Hampshire's wine industry is in its infancy, with the oldest vineyard, Jewell Towne Vineyard of South Hampton, opening in 1994. Although there were two previous to Jewell Towne, they've since ceased operations. Our day out took
- [Earl Grey ..... the man, the tea!](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/earl-grey-the-man-the-tea/) - What is it about Earl Grey tea that makes it the most popular tea in the world?
- [Tea Dances](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/tea-dances/) - Blackpool .....? Hubby kept telling me about this city on the west coast of England. Growing up he had heard much about this seaside tourist destination but had never been there. Really? Blackpool? Just the name conjures up images of splintered boardwalks, gaping piers held up by rusted columns , graffiti-covered buildings, and old, yellowed
- ["China" enters Britain](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/china-enters-britain/) - It's the late 1600's and people are asking "What is this fine, white porcelain that is coming in from China on the tea boats?" Crates of this porcelain is being offloaded from the ships and stacked on the piers. But, what is it? What is it for? These crates would be stacked on the bottom
- ["A Sort of Tea from China"](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/a-sort-of-tea-from-china/) - The Natural History Museum in London has just uncovered a box of tea .... how uninteresting you're thinking .... except this small cardboard box with the glass lid has been sitting in the basement of the museum lying among other 'botanical collections' for more than 300 years! Labelled "a sort of tea from China" it is
- [Cornish Pasties](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/cornish-pasties/) - Every time we visit England, the first stop my husband has to make is to a motorway rest area. Yes, the very same ones that appear along highways and motorways everywhere .... except in England where they have a food truck in the parking lot selling authentic "Cornish Pasties". "One Cornish pastie and one cheese and
- [Armed and Ready](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/armed-and-ready/) - We just returned from a week in northern England. During our quick visit, we attempted to consume as many calories from English sweets and savories as we possibly could manage. From Cornish pasties to Eccles cakes, we sampled, critiqued, analyzed and devoured all our favorites (and some which weren't). Now armed with quite a few
- [BAKEWELL TART](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/bakewell-tart/) - Whenever we are in Darlington, the first place I have to go is to The Black Olive. This tiny, little patisserie has the most delicious baked goods I've ever had. Each morning they fill the window with the delicacies of the day .... freshly baked and delicious! Like children staring into a toy shop
- [Orange Pekoe?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/orange-pekoe/) - During my 15 years of tea lectures, exhibitions and shows where I’d present information about tea’s origins, types of teas and their unique properties, classics vs flavored, health benefits, steeping instructions, folk lore and traditions, inevitably at the end of the presentation someone would ask me if I sold “orange pekoe” tea. Aghhhhhhhhhhh! After a
- [Custard Powder?](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/custard-powder/) - As a Christmas gift one year, hubby received a 'care' package from home. Among the Jammie Dodgers, Jelly Babies, Digestives and Cadbury Flakes was a bright yellow and red tin of "Bird's Custard Powder". Identifying the other childhood favorites was easy, but what was this Bird's Custard Powder? Not only had I never heard
- [UPS and DOWNS](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/ups-and-downs/) - Yes, I've been "practicing" making the many recipes I want to share. I don't want to appear as completely incompetent when posting a recipe. I do have some pride. I want my final product to not only taste good, but to look good too. It doesn't have to look professional, but it certainly has to
- [Welcome to Tea, Toast and Travel](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/why-am-i-doing-this/) - WHY AM I DOING THIS? A blog? Really? Never did I ever think that I'd be sitting down at a computer to put my thoughts, ideas and opinions on a public forum. But, here I am. So why AM I doing this? Hmmm ..... good question. I am doing this to sort out where I'm going.

- [Resources](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/resources/) - The Pastry Mat I absolutely love this silicone mat. It is so much easier than rolling pastry dough out onto a pastry board. Easy to clean, with rulers and grids of every size and description AND a conversion chart for converting all those grams and kilos into pounds and ounces, this is a MUST have!
- [Recipes](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/recipes/) - Regardless of how busy we all are, occasionally you just need to get in the kitchen and put your hands into something. For me, it's therapeutic. Each of these recipes have been made by me many times and enjoyed by all who sample them. I don't like overly complicated recipes, but I do like flavorful

I started the tea company after 15 years of owning and operating a full-service day spa. The day spa was very successful, but it wasn't my passion. I loved my employees and the customers, but not the beauty business.
- [England](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/england/) - I've been very fortunate to have visited some fascinating countries ... China, India, Peru, Mongolia, Egypt, Kenya, to name a few. But the country that seems to have stolen my heart is England. My first trip to England was in 1986. Little did I know then that years later I would marry an Englishman and
- [Afternoon Tea](http://www.teatoastandtravel.com/afternoon-tea/) - The first time I went to "Tea" was with a friend who realized I was under a lot of stress and thought a visit to a tearoom would be relaxing. She was right. Not only was it relaxing, it was also exhilarating and inspiring. That was 15 years ago and I can still remember how excited I was.
