Korean Roasted Barley Tea and Buddha Board
I love drinking tea, especially during the long winter months. There’s something comforting about sipping hot tea on a cold day–it has a calming effect that forces me to slow down and appreciate life. I usually drink black tea in the morning to energize me for the day ahead, but when I have a bit more time, I like to sit down with my Buddha Board–a painting surface upon which you can paint temporarily with water–and a cup of roasted barley tea.
DrunkSkull Bloody Marys with Celery and Jalapeño Garnish
I discovered these bloody marys after talking with Hosho McCreesh, author of A Deep and Gorgeous Thirst—a magnum opus of “drunken poetry” from Artistically Declined Press. I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this book on The Next Best Book Club, an online book club that frequently features author-reader discussions. It’s a very cool way to light upon new works and authors.
