I am a big time tea drinker. And I have a special fondness for only my kind of tea. The one with milk and sugar and then brewed with Red Label, with a single tea bag of Earl Grey for flavor. Dipping Marie in my tea and not counting them is another of my guilty pleasures. As I was browsing through my tea posts today I came across this post I had written for Of Chalks and Chopsticks -- a food fiction event some of us bloggers had indulged in for a while.
My story around a cup of tea is here (from July 2011)
And here is a list of all the entries by other bloggers for the same event and all of which revolved around a cup of tea.(again from July 2011)
If you are looking for great Tuesday reads do go through that list and you may find the perfect thing to pair with your morning chai.

ReplyDeleteThanks and do introduce me to your daughter :)
DeleteI saw someone dipping chaklis in their tea/coffee the other day. Must go and read some of these stories again!
ReplyDeleteMaybe to soften it ;-) ? We should do this again
DeleteYour story will be the nicest bit of my morning. Beautifully written, Sandeepa. And strangely enough, I know this Mashima, and I know the son too. Manju made me smile - there's nothing like a stolen afternoon :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Pia. Now that I read it again, I can't remember how it came to me, maybe I wouldn't be able to write a similar piece again
Delete@Sandeepa: thanks for reminding..a lovely story from you.I remembered having put together something for it as well...

DeleteYour story is there in that list, you signed off as DR then
I love tea too and we drink a lot of tea here but then black with no sugar, i love marie biscuits but then the one we get in India here we get them too but i think the indian brand os better maybe it is nostalgia about the biscuits.
ReplyDeleteNice, bongmom! I love the atmosphere you create in your stories..! Very nice!

ReplyDeleteHey there! I don't know how I chanced upon your blog, but I am glad I did. I LOVE your blog. I have been going through some of your posts, and have loved them, especially your food fiction posts. You write wonderfully and, apparently, you cook wonderfully too. :) Being the lover of good stories and good food that I am, your blog appeals to me a lot. Blogrolling you. Will be back to read more. Hope you don't mind.
