Skiing

P taught me how to ski on Tuesday. Two-for-one day.

A Reward

I know I shouldn't think like that, that a cupcake is a reward. All the same, I had my book and an afternoon to myself for a change and I made the most of it. Cupcake and tea from Joan's on Third in LA.

Tea

These are my four favorite teas:
Pumphrey's Blend from Peet's
the Mauritius blend from Chado on 3rd Street in Los Angeles
Samovar Breakfast Blend from San Francisco
Red Rose from any English shop

And here is a tea photograph taken by my good friend, Eric Zimmerman, on location in India. So peaceful but dramatic. He says a leopard crossed the tracks just moments later.
