Tea Tuesday 🍵

Working on being okay with good enough. (Following some wise advice from my sister.) I have closet shelves and a cupboard full of various herbs to make teas. I often consider using tea bags cheating...though this doesn’t keep me from buying them.

However, as my wife keeps saying, October has been a very long year. This Tea Tuesday tea bags are good enough. I’ll enjoy my tea just as much as I enjoyed the ease of its preparation.

Happy Friday!! It’s just another regular morning over here . . . trying to drink my morning tea in peace, but always surrounded. 🙄

I am grateful this long week is finally coming to an end.

What are you grateful for this morning?

Today . . .

Found out that I will be teaching distance learning style through the rest of 2020. While I’m intensely sad to not get to form in person relationships with my students, I am relieved to know how to plan for the rest of the year. Unfortunately, online learning seems the decision that will allow for the most consistency for our community.

This relief has left me energized, to be honest, in a way I haven’t felt in a long while. It’s been a struggle. Today I did some of my favorite things. It was a day full of medicine. Saffron capsules for my wife. Cold care pills using a recipe to prep for the fall. Encapsulating your own powdered herbs is a great way to control the ingredients you’re ingesting. Mix your powders, fill the capsules, pop the two halves of the capsule together, and store until needed. I have a capsule maker that makes the process more efficient, but capsules can easily be made with just herbs and a bowl.
My day’s other medicine included making some herbal honey, some chai spiced oatmeal cookies, and a call with my mom, sister, and niece.

Slowdown Sunday ☀️ . . .

Umm, my Sunday was not slow, but I can guarantee to you that I’m taking some time to rest right 👏🏼 now 👏🏼.

This evening’s agenda consists of this warm, brownie sundae and then a nice long bath. 🛀

Did you find time for some rest?

I consider having a good brownie recipe memorized an important life skill. This way you are armed and ready when that moment hits for some brownies.

I have been making this classic brownie recipe since I was a child and it never fails! Not even on nights when all my children seem to have forgotten how to listen. 🤣

Brownies
2 oz. semi sweet chocolate
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 c. flour

In sauce pan, melt butter and chocolate. Remove from heat. Mix in sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla. Add flour. Bake in 8x8 pan at 350 for 30 minutes.

What recipes do you have memorized?

Tea Tuesday 🍵 . . .

We are finishing the day like we started it, with some tea. The kids are sipping on some chamomile tea while they enjoy a cookie for snack. Lets hope this means we will have a peaceful bedtime. 🤞🏼

What’s your favorite nighttime tea? Mine is definitely chamomile!

Slowdown Sunday ☀️. . .

As fall starts to show its self here, it is time to do some clean up in the container garden. I spent the morning in the dirt and sunshine pulling out the old and potting the new mums and pansies. 🌱

How did you slowdown today? Be sure to take sometime to slowdown and rest before the week starts!
