Coffee, Tea, and Mug Love

I love coffee and tea! Nothing can perk me up like a nice steaming cup of either of these delightful beverages.  I was so excited yesterday because I finally found a box of my favorite, yet elusive, tea Earl Grey Lavender. I have searched far and wide, and finally found a single box of it sitting on the shelf of Safeway last night! In fact I am enjoying a cup of it right now!

One thing that makes drinking these beverages so enjoyable is a giant, cute mug that you can wrap your hands around. I have an embarrassingly large amount of mugs to choose from everyday and there is no way I could pick a favorite. Here are some mugs that I am currently have my eyes on.

Nimbus Brewery

nimbus Nimbus Brewerysampler 200x300 Nimbus Brewery

For the last few days I have been in Tucson visiting my family. Last night my Dad took me out for some father daughter time at the local micro-brewery, Nimbus.  I love it! The food was delicious and well-priced, the atmosphere was really cosy (I was really impressed with how full the place was on a Thursday), and most importantly the beer was amazing. I ordered what is called a sampler, which is eight tiny beer glass filled with all their different types of beer that they brew. There was a blonde beer, a pale ale, a vanilla beer, an oatmeal stout, monkey shine, a seasonal beer, red ale, and a brown ale.  They were all good, although I have to say my absolute favorite was the monkeyshine. It is a dark beer, with a hint of sweetness in the taste.  The photo above is of the sampler, sorry for the low quality, its a cell phone pic :)

Cooking Fun

Hello! Recently Alan and I have been trying to cook more both in an effort to have some fun, improve my cooking skills (Alan is already quiet talented) and to save some money. We had both received cookbooks for Christmas from various family members and decided it was time to crack them open and utilize them.

This week we made a 40-clove garlic chicken, noodles with a white clam sauce, and home-made mac and cheese. The first two were absolutely delicious I would venture to brag that they had restaurant quality flavor, while the home-made mac lacked a little something, perhaps a bit bland? Overall the cooking was fun and a great way to bond. I cant wait to tackle some more recipes! Anyone have any great ones to share?

Ramen Noodles

Hello All! I am currently sitting in front my laptop eating a bowl of ramen noodles, which since I have no job and am a  student I tend to eat very frequently. This had made me experiment with all kinds of things to spice up ramen.  Today’s bowl I think is so good, that I am going to share the recipe with you! Start with a package of chicken flavor ramen, follow directions on the package. When finished top the bowl off with a nice layer of Italian seasoning, a dash of thyme, and finally a nice smattering of chili powder. Delish!

Chilly Day

Hello All! The last two days have been so chilly here in Arizona. I have broken out the thick sweater and (my favorite) the scarves! The chill from outside makes me just want to curl up on the couch with the boyfriend and a nice cup of coffee. To that end I would like to share with you all a blog dedicated to beautiful cups of coffee!  http://artinmycoffee.com/ Click on the image to take a look.
