It is lovely.. and you have some interesting recipes and the narrative along with it is very personal and superb. <br /><br />I generally make dip tea but sometimes indulge in the boiled leaves tea. Read your blog about the chai and went home and made lovely chai with ginger and cardamom. <br /><br />JoyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20322666350922826.post-28192127357012503472011-03-09T18:14:57.732+05:302011-03-09T18:14:57.732+05:30thank you for the sweet comment hope to see you of...thank you for the sweet comment hope to see you often<br />Yes i live in canada and a muslim :)<br />whipping cream is found in the milk section it is a carton of milk i think it is available in india as i see other bloggers using it <br />Once you get it you will love it :)<br />cheersTorviewtorontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453013731812540021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20322666350922826.post-66326237268713054682011-03-09T02:25:49.305+05:302011-03-09T02:25:49.305+05:30Hello Thoma, thank you so much for your lovely com...Hello Thoma, thank you so much for your lovely comments.

It's very selfless of you support your friends or even consequential strangers and dedicate a post to them. Your positive attitude and energy is truly infectious (Oh yea!) Proud of you, my friend!<br /><br />I have to say that Sheeba is a truly talented artist as evident from her beautiful paintings. Looking at those pics, I'm inspired to take my pencil and start sketching again (you see, I have a passion for painting and I used to indulge in this activity a lot before marriage)<br /><br />Now, to the chai part. Tell me about it! I have to admit that I'm addicted to tea as opposed to my hubby who usually likes just one cup and that too in the morning - how could he?!! ;)Platefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622462860173201879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20322666350922826.post-63327815525372963602011-03-02T20:24:23.036+05:302011-03-02T20:24:23.036+05:30Hi Thoma-Such a talented friend you have.
