Home and Elsewhere

To be home and elsewhere at the same time.

It starts at your own counter. A kettle, a spoon, four minutes in which nothing much is required of you. Then the steam comes up, and you are not entirely in the room any more.

First, backwards.

Clove and cardamom travelled further than most of the people who traded them, and they kept every mile of it. The smell reaches you before the memory does - a Sunday table laid for far too many, a grandmother's hands working over a pot, a holiday you could find with your eyes shut.

Then, outwards.

A leaf keeps the weather it grew in. Mist on a terraced hillside, rain coming in off a coast you have never stood on, the cool end of an afternoon in a city you have never visited. It opens in hot water and takes you with it.

Then home, before it cools.

And that is the part worth keeping. No airport, no calendar, nothing to arrange around. You are still at your own counter with a warm cup in both hands, and the whole journey is repeatable tomorrow.

Time Travel, Served Warm.

Maple Peach

The maple peach is delicious. What a beautiful combination. I will most definitely order it again, and a higher quantity of it.

Always handy

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.

It worked beautifully; perhaps if I add a little more honey, it would make it better… It is a wellness tea, after all!
