Love and Ties (L'amour et les Cravates)

In my opinion, there is nothing better than a man in a NICE tie.  Not the stupid ones with snowmen, or weird designs, or some screenprint photos his mom bought.  A beautiful, well made tie.  Down in the Financial District I manage to see all kinds of ties... some are fantastic, and others I am awkwardly embaressed for the men and their next business meeting.

A doesnt really wear ties unless its for a special occassion.  He doesnt exactly have the occassion working in a kitchen.  Last thing anyone wants is a tie in their food.  But let me tell you... I personally think he is HOT in a tie.  :)

Halloween

I do not LOVE Halloween.  Unless, of course you are talking about dressing up and eating tons of candy.  Then yes, I LOVE Halloween!

It seems that here in America, in cities across the country, something somewhere is haunted.  (Not like in Europe since your countries are centuries older than us)  My first haunted experience was the local fire house, at the age of twelve, and I cried.  Incessantly.  To the point of having to turn on the lights and "prove" to me that it was a show, and not real.  My parents were mortified.  Wouldn't you be embaressed of your almost teenager crying like a baby in public?  Yup, that was me.

Chai Tea Concentrate

Fall is coming, I know it is.  I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the cool weather, snuggly sweaters, and one of my two favorite drinks - Chai Tea.  I can drink it hot or cold.  I can drink it all day long. 
There is something amazingly comforting about a hot cup of Chai while reading a book.  Or working.  Or spending time with friends enjoying the leaves changing, and a walk throughout the city.
On Sunday, when I went to LIC and to Foodcellar & Co, I ordered a Chai Tea Latte.  It was delicious.  It added to my perusal of all things delicious.  Cheese.  Baked Goods.  Beautiful flowers.  While ordering I asked if I could buy the concentrate in the store.  Obviously the answer was no, or I wouldnt be writing this post.
So upon returning home - I looked up recipes.  I took items from different recipes, and adapted them to this recipe.


My favorite recipe, for the design, was from a Lucy Knisley post I located... from 2009.  Check out her recipe hereI also LOVE her drawing for the recipe...
