Mr. A.--' Good morning, Mr. I!.; I called to see if you wanted a clerk. ! should like Input myson into your store for awhile.' Ur. Ik -' Indeed, I thought you needed him on your farm.' 'Sol do need him—but I don't want my children to have to work as h nl as I have tu—digging and delving. 1 tell you ¡ts too hard; I'm fairly worn all out.' ' Ah! butyon look more hale and hearty thanthq most of us. and yet you must he quite as old.' •Ves, I mu turned of70. Hut! grow lame-and . Ftíir. audits all f'mm hard work.' 'Ovor70i Ami I am bul dl. and my partner's younger still—yet see onr gray hairs.' 'Well, well -something jn femilies ahout that, may he. iiut do you want my hoy'.'' ' No idr.' ' Why not V ' Because you want to put him here to live easy, nnd he'll he good fur nothing;, as-a clerk or merchant either, ¡n that way. We merchants have to wori hard i Two would gain anything ; and we have to work a great many more hours in a year than you do.' I Yes, yes, more hour.s perhaps—but the work isn't half so hard. Here you are in a cool room in summer and a warm one in winter, we arc exposed to heat and cold, wet and dry.' II know it looks so to you. But now do you go into a room and spoil I all one long day walking it, from side to side, dodging this way and that, and see If long before night you do not want to get out of your prison : see il'you are not tired enough before supper time to bu ¿Jad to sit down ¡n the evening with your family and yonr newspaper. Iiut no, you must go back to your prison, and dodge and jump all the evening harder than ever. And when bed-time comes, yon must post hooks.' ' Oh, tell it all ou your side, lint suppose it is po—you make money, and when old age enmes on, you can retire from business and live easy,' 'Not a whit bettertliauyoue.au. i thought as you do once, and tried it. 1 thought I could give up the confinement and labor, and only oversee. But Ibis ¡lid not give me ease or leisure; so I got a head clerk and 'retired,' as you call—and what was the results Why, [ failed. And what rid you and everybody else say',' Why, Í had'quit work and tried to be a gentleman, and no wonder he smashed—it was good enough for him—he might have kept to work like other folks.' 'I know such things _te_i said, but we did'nt know you heard of them ! Hut now just look at the poor farmer's crops this season—half dried up. Just think of such losses after all our labor.' 'Yes, and the day laborers, too, who are out of employment, in consequence of the unfavorable season, will all fall upon me to knock oft''just a little of tlieir store aceounts.liecause everything they buy of the farmer comes so high'—and I must do it too. or bo 'sucha stingy tight Jew they'll nevtr go there to trade again,' to say nothing of those that go off without paying at all.' 'Well. I suppose merchants do have losses as well as farmers. But it seems as il'you did'nt have half so many vexations—showers coming up—tools breaking—cattle in the corn, aud what not.' 'Vexations! You know nothing about it. Come hero and wait upon ungoverned children—try to satisfy an old woman that a ten cent calico won't fade—lower tlie price ofa pair of shoes or a plug of tobacco to suit an Irishman—find something nice enough for a fashionable young lady—grave enough for a (pinker— gay enough for a darkie- ptylish enough for a dandy—and can't suit one of tliem till thoy have "looked ¡somewhere else'—and you may fold up and pile up your goods to be ready for the next uusatisi'yable set. Mr. B., you know- nothing about vexations. No wonder we grow bald aud gray before our time.' "And so you are sure merchants have tin: hardest of it. But I don't know what to do with my boy. He thinks farming too hard, and lie don't like to go to a trade—feels—well, 1 don't know.' ' Í know, my friend. You have taught him to feci that a trade was too low. and forming too hard. and now ho is ball spoilt for being successful ¡n anything*^ 11 wish 1 could get him into a baid;"wit!i a salary—he'd tike that. I tried hard for it last week ; hut they ask such an awful sum for bonds ; I don't new what ¡hat's for.' 'Mr. 1!., you sometimes pray for yourself and your children, 'Lead us not into temptation'—but here you are, trying to get your only sou into a situation where the temptations and the facilities for dishonesty arc so great that those best acquainted with the business Hud it necessary to put every one under heavy bonds before he can be twsted with it. Now, my good friend, take my advice and keep your son with you. He need not'dig and delve' as Bard as you say you have done, and make such haste to be rich, for you have made a large property; but learn him to work reasonably and take the comfort of it as he goes along; not put oil enjoying if till old age. This is the secret of happiness. l A little with c.onte?itmcnt is great gain;' just as good as great wealth.'—Pittsjield Ci'dt iva - tor. Art of a Yanltee Painter. -V person who kepi W) iun hy Hie roadside, wenl to a painter, who lora time had setup his easel not a hundred miles from Ontario, and inquired for what sum the painter would paint him a bear far a signboard. It was to be a real good one, lhat would attract customers. "Fifteen dollars,"replied tbe painter. ■■That's loo much," said the iukecper ; "Tom f.ark-ins will do it for ten." The painter cogitated for a moment. He did not like lhat his rival should get a commission in preference to himself, although it was only for a signboard. "is il to be a wild, or tame hear?'' he inquired. '■A wild one. to be sure." '■With a chain, orwilhoutoue ?" again asked the painter '•Without a chain." "Well, 1 will paint you a wild bear, without a chain, for tea dollar*^1 The bargain was struck, the painter set to work, and in due time sent home the signboard, on which he li d painted a hug.' brown bear of a moss ferocious aspect. The signboard was the admiration j ol all Ihe neighborhood, and drew plenty of CUS- 1 turners to the inn; and the innkeeper knew not whether to congratulate himself more upou the thc possession of so attractive sign, or on having seoured.it for ihe small sum of ten dollars. Time slipped on, his barrels were emptied and iiis pockets tilled. Kverything went on thrivingly for three wei-ks, when one night there arose one of those violent si onus of rain and wind, thunder and lightning^ which are so common in North America, and which pass over with almost aa much rapidity as they rise. When tbe iunkeepw ofton nexi morning, the sun was shining, the birds singing, and all traces of the storm had passi daway. .1 ie looked up anxiously to asc ¡gn was safe. There it wan, sore enough, swinging to and fro as usual. Imt the lioai* had disappeared. The innkeeper could hardly believe his eyes ; full ofanger and surprise, lie ran to thc painter and related what had happened. The painter looked uo coolly from his work. "Was It a wild bear, or a tame one ?" "A wild bear." "Was it chained, or not?" "I guess not." "Then," cried (he painter triumphantly, "how could you expect a wild beat to remain in sucha storm as that oí last night without a chain?" The innkeeper had nothing to say against so conclusive argument, aud finally agreed to give thc painter fifteen dollars to paint him a wild bear with achato, that would not take to thc woods inthc next storm. For the benclit of the unprofessional readers, it may be necessary fo mention that the rogueish painter had painted the first bear in water colors, which had been washed away by the rain ; tho second bear was painted in oil colors, and was therefore able to withstand the weather. _\t\\s Word iMmlisnitcnts. !J?;iu Jraittka ^Éet&tmtafe. «y ltoyal Litter* Pntent.

Jkw Mkhcjunt.s.—There are so many French anoGerman Jewg, now, amone; the merchants of W.v Voik. tliul; R.Jewish feast or faat day, pro- duces a marked dullness in the market, on account of the absence of so many operators. It is wonderful how the -Tew traders, as a class, thrive the world over, and no oppression or extortion can drive them from any land. Under the most tyrannical exactions and contributions, in every ago and every country, they huve steadily pursued their schemes of gain and tratlic; (md while in past ages they have everywhere been despised, persecuted and plundered, yet after ali they have made secret accumulations of gold, which havo rendered it necessary for many of the highest cank in society, princes and potentates, an well as thc humblest classes, compelled to raise money, to resort to them and pay them roundly for pecuniary aid. IL is tliis ¡iropensity and tiie successful development of it, which, uuder Providence, has been used to keep the Jews, for nearly 2098 years, a distinct and independent race, notwithstanding they have no land, no home, and apparently nothing to pre- ent them from becoming merged speedily with the people among whom they have been scattered. II. is seldom you will find a poor Jew, though many of them outwardly appear poor and arc extremely frugal in their habits. Every Jew takes to trade as readily as a young duck to the water, and lie is almost successful, indeed, in all our inquiry on thc subjenfc , we have found but a very fow who were unsuccessful, and they were uniformly dishonest persons, whose animal appetites led them to more profuse expenditure than the race generally indulges in, however strong may be the animal ana sansoat propensities of auy of it-*, members. As a class, the Jews are qnite as honest, perhaps more so, than the traffickers ofany other race. They are often hard, and exact in the literal fulfilment of the letter of the bond, even tothe pound of tiesh, where tlie power resta with them, Imt this is not by any means uniformly the ease, and there are many brilliant examples ofgenerosity among them, as signal as those of thc Touros of Newport ami Xcw Orleans. Probably many of the hard cases among them have been made so by the hnrsh dealings whieh they themselves and their ancestors have received. TJpitiiiiiT Mkx.—We love upright men. Pull them this way and the other, and they only bend, but never break. Trip them down, and in a trice they arc on their feet again. Bury them in thc mud, and in au hour they would be out and brigbt. You cannot keep them down—you cannot destroy tliem. They are the salt of thc earth. Who but they start any noble project? They build our cities, whiten the ocean witfe their sails, and blacken the heavens with the smoke of their cars. Look to them, young men, and catch the spark of their energy. j?.?r "Old ago is coming upon mc rapidly." as the boy said when lie was stealing apples from an old man's garden, and saw the owner coming in that direction with a cow-hide iu his hand.

This page provides seasonal climate anomalies from the NCEP coupled forecast system model (CFS03). The model is integrated once per day for 9 target months. Initial conditions are from the NCEP/DOE Reanalysis-2 (R2) for the atmosphere and from NCEP global ocean data assimilation system (GODAS) for the ocean. The forecast displayed here is ensemble mean of 40 forecast members. All anomalies are with respect to 1982-2003 hindcast climatology, except for Nino SSTs for which a bias correction with 1982-2003 average is first applied and then observed climatlogy of 1971-2000 is used to define anomalies.
CAUTION: Seasonal climate anomalies shown here are not the official NCEP seasonal forecast outlooks. The NCEP seasonal forecast outlooks can be found at CPC website. Model based seasonal climate anomalies are one factor based on which NCEP seasonal forecast outlook is issued.
NOTE: The forecast displayed on this page is updated once per month
when the latest forecast member is initialized from the beginning of the first day of the first
target month. The latest forecast that is updated every day can be found at CFS forecast.

It's gloppy, it's soggy, it's un-American.
It goes like this: You're sitting at a large picnic in early summer—plastic forks, burgers, corn in your teeth—when someone leaves the table and returns with a large pan. "I brought a pie," he says, setting it down in front of you. A spatula emerges. People coo. This is the start of an unpleasant afternoon.
The pie, because it is a pie, does not so much "slice" as volcanically erupt under the pressure of the knife, oozing its livid fluid everywhere; your own piece, when it comes, is a miniature apocalypse of broken pastry parts and heat-blitzed fruit. You demur, mumbling about having eaten too much cornbread. Someone's aging, wild-eyed mother stares you down. "It's pie," she says. You are handed a fork. You start to peck at a morsel of fruit. Your plate is promptly whisked away again: Because it's hot outside, you're told, you're supposed to enjoy your dessert "a la mode." The pie is warm; the ice cream melts at once. You contemplate what now looks like a slice of jammy toast that has been soaked in milk for half a day and masticated by a dog. You work your fork into the only structure still intact, the woody, crenulated crust, beating and twisting this bumper of dough against each leverageable surface on your plate, trying to break it up. Your fork loses a prong. Abandoning all hope, you finally drive your broken-fork-with-giant-crust-piece through the mire of sloppy dough and heft the entire, dripping mass into your mouth. "Mmm," someone says. "Isn't it so great to have pie?"
America, let's be honest on this point: It is not so great to have pie. For decades now, this confection of fragile dough and chunky cooked fruit has been invading our dessert menus and national mythology, trying to persuade us of its honored standing among baked goods and the gods. Pie is delicious, we are told. Pie is an honest treat. Pie is what we call those who are dear to us ("sweetie pie") and those with a place in the nation's history ("American as"). In an age of gruesome culture wars, pie remains temperamentally Swiss, doing business with all quarters and reaping the rewards of broad acceptance. Former Chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele pointed to pie to represent his party's ideation of a national assimilated culture. Foodies in the unassimilated hipster capitals of San Francisco and New York, meanwhile, claim pie just as much as their own. When Mary-Louise Parker showed up in an urbane Esquire spread wearing nothing but a pink apron and a veil of irony, she was not, it is worth noting, carrying a tray of popovers.
Pie's relative position in the pantheon of dessert cookery has only risen lately, partly because it is apparently invulnerable to alarm about the oversweetening of America. Although the White House is bullish about cutting sugar and fat from school lunches, the Obamas become bears in honey when things turn to the matter of pie. ("Whatever pie you like," the president enthused of his pastry chef, "he will make it and it will be the best pie you have ever eaten.") How bad for you could something that literally leaks fruit be? True to the spirit of these times, household wholesomeness doyenne Martha Stewart has released a new book of pie recipes, dovetailing with this year's a la modeseason; this month also brings the publication of Lynne Hinton's novel Pie Town, the story of a New Mexico community whose openness has faded with its great days of pie baking. The good folks at McDonald's, who purvey a turnover that would much like to be pie, call the dessert "the tradition you love to uphold." Note there's no question mark in that description. Pie, today, stands in the national imagination as proof of authenticity, tradition, humanness, good faith.
Except it's not. Pie is an interloper trading on a false history and a tangle of confusion about its cultural role. Its past is unremarkable and un-American. As you may recall from your middle-school history books, many accoutrements of Western life first appeared in Egypt and then spread to the Romans via Greece. Prophylactics are a notable example. Pie is another one. The pies of the ancients, rather than being oozing desserts, were combinations of savory foods baked in a pot made of tough dough. (In our evolutionary tree of Western cooking, pies, tellingly, share a branch with the most hit-or- missof all edible things, the casserole.) This crust-pot baking method spread through Europe and gained popularity through the Middle Ages, since the dough shell, called a bake-meat (later, just as appetizingly, a coffin), allowed meats to stew without losing moisture. It also helped seal off the meal and slow down spoilage. "For hundreds of years," Janet Clarkson points out in her jaunty account of pie development, Pie: A Global History, "it was the only form of baking container—meaning everything was pie." Pie culture grew with the advent of modern pastry dough during the 16th century, at which point cooks in more ambitious kitchens started to experiment with sweeter fillings. (Queen Elizabeth is said to have eaten some of the first fruit pies.) This is the true origin of our pie tradition. Early apple pies weren't American and sweet at all. They were unsugared, tough, and manufactured by the British.
It is thought in certain circles that the Pennsylvania Dutch created the modern, curiously engineered American pie from these rock-hard early models. People who have sat in chairs made by the Pennsylvania Dutch may find this theory very credible. At this point, though, "American"-style pie is something of a relic: Where the civilized world has moved past its awkward bread-casket age to head in more refined directions, pie stands still. Our modern pie of piled fruit stewing in a shell of fragile dough is not an innovation but a replica of something primitive—piled meat entombed in hard crust—nudged in the vague direction of dessert.
It's not hard to see why this odd product requires an elaborate mythology to justify itself. We eat sweet pie at Thanksgiving on the premise that it captures the cuisine of colonial America. It does nothing of the kind. Sweet pie didn't gain wide popularity until the 19th century, when it was eaten largely as a daytime pastry (in A Tramp Abroad, Mark Twain included sweet pies in a list of things he missed about his homeland, along with several other pastries and cakes), and the full American pie menu, in all of its moods and seasons, did not come into being till the 20th. American as apple pie, the phrase and concept, entered our lexicon in the late and cosmopolitan throes of the Jazz Age. The most American thing about pie, in fact, may be its retroactive claim of folksy authenticity and early dominance.
Today, this myth of historical continuity inspires many people to take pie as a given, though it makes little sense as a 21st-century dessert. In an era of refrigeration, produce shipping, and advanced kitchen tools, there's little in a pie that would not be better out of a pie. Who but a sadist would take a basket of ripe seasonal fruit and bake it into mush? Who would labor over flaky pastry crust that's destined to get soaked before it's ever tasted? Unlike the tart, which sits low and topless in a shallow pan with a svelte layer of topping, pie requires a hefty piece of bakeware with outward-sloping sides, practically dooming the pastry to collapse. And unlike a torte—a short and modest cake combining fruit and nuts in balanced proportions—most modern pies rely on giant reservoirs of loose filling or inches of piled custard and whipped cream. A slice of strawberry tart with coffee is the perfect overture to a postprandial drink, a late conversation, or a night of love. Eat an oozing slice of strawberry pie, and it's time to look for Tums and go to bed.
Pie seems to know what it is up against. Every now and then over the past half-century, it has slid into the limelight with strange, somewhat desperate promises of sex. Most recently and prominently, the ruttish American Piefarces took as their essential premise an equivalence between pie and the straits of carnal exploration. This is an insult to the erotic act. If passion were consummated as pie is consumed, it would require hours of preparation, fall apart in process, and be an open invitation to invasion by ants.
It is possible to regard current interest in pie—the chronic churn of recipe books, the proclamations of pie love from our capital—as active attempts to call out virtue in this odd dessert, to weave it into the rhythms of modern life and preserve one of this country's prized narratives about itself. In one sense, this seems admirable. Lots of people have tried to make pie good, and certain have succeeded: Vogue food critic Jeffrey Steingarten, following pie master Marion Cunningham, set down a recipe for a pie crust that is flaky, tender, and crisp. The American Pie Council, which hosts regular pie-making contests and publishes a seasonal information newsletter, Pie Times, curates crack pie recipes online. Your own grandmother, grandfather, or other kitchen-able elder no doubt makes the best, most unequivocally delicious pie that I will ever taste. These people should be proud. The lengths we've gone to in order to make a pre-medieval baking technique as toothsome as possible today are proof of American ingenuity and care. But is this a cause worth the effort? Prince Charles, a man who's had his share of pies, once said about the monarchy, "if people don't want it, they won't have it." Perhaps it's time to turn this principle on our own dubious Old World pie inheritance and organize the most truly American of things: a revolution.

Tin Ceiling Ordered
After conferring with friends and colleagues I placed an order for a tin ceiling to go in the butler's pantry. I'm going with American Tin Ceiling even though I despise their web site.
Originally the plan was to go with all panels and forgo any filler around the edges. The room is 8'3" X 10'6". The panels are 2-feet square and it seems that that should just about work. The gaps at the edges would be covered by the cornice. The panels most likely have a little over-lap though, so I would loose a few inches. The big concern is the 10'6" length. If I loose a half inch per panel that pushes that gap out to about 9-inches (4.5 and each end). To cover that I would need to go with a larger cornice and I think the scale would look wrong for the room.
The filler is actually the same size as the panels so it seems like it would be a wash. However, there is a trim piece that covers the gap between the panels and the filler. The idea is (fingers crossed) that I can play with this at the edges to make it so the filler can actually fill the space it needs to. I'm not sure if that makes sense, or not.
Anyway, I'm going to do a 1X3 wood cornice, like the one I used in the bathroom and laundry room, which I will buy locally after the tin is up. If the wood cornice won't cover the gap, I can always go back to a larger tin cornice. One way or the other it will get finished, but this way I don't need to order a tin cornice now only to find out I don't need it.
The big debate was about the finish. To be sure, "tin ceilings" are not really tin, they are tin plated steel. You can also get aluminum, but you pay more for that. Tin ceilings can rust and oxidize if left unfinished. The basic, unfinished tin panels run $7 to $9 each, depending on where you buy them. The one aluminum panel I saw was $14 and powder coat is $16. After that, prices for different plating and faux finishes rises quickly, ranging in price from $23 to $49 a panel. Of course, you can finish them yourself, but you really need to do both sides.
If you clear-coat the panels you might be able to get away with one pass per side. If you paint then it is primer and then paint, and most likely multiple coats. Perhaps if you live in a dry climate and you put in the ceiling up in a dining room or something you can get away without doing both sides. I live 8 blocks from the coast in a damp environment (Think Pacific North West). Not only that, but this room is below a bathroom. I would be one over-flowing toilet away from rusty seams showing.
Gary went to the trouble of sealing his seams with clear caulk after he applied a clear-coat. Very wise, but for me, it just seems better to go with a powder coat finish. Not only for protection, but also because I really don't want bright, shiny tin. I'm sure it looks great in many applications, but it is just a bit much for me. It looks too new.
So I went with Antique Sliver in Satin powder coat. It should (fingers crossed) look like a tin ceiling that has been installed for several decades. Still metallic in color, but not bright and shiny, and it will be very durable. Delivered to my door the total comes to $410. The panel below reflects the Antique Sliver powder coat finish I'm getting. The filler is unfinished tin. You can see the difference.

Tea Time
The versatility of tea
Slide 1 Of Tea Time
Gail Baral and Robert Wain use tea, like a baker uses flour and butter. The ingredient is a staple in all of the recipes that they create for their catering business, Algabar. From tea-infused cocktails, to chicken salad sandwiches, cookies, and muffins, tea is one ingredient that elegantly flavors all of their offerings. Algabar (algabar.com [1]).
Slide 2 Of Tea Time [4]
Tea-stained fabrics meet criteria for adding decoration with a worn, antique patina. For do-it-yourselfers, dying fabric with tea is an easy weekend project, but plenty of fabric manufacturers keep these distressed beauties in their inventories. This one is from Lee Jofa; leejofa.com
The laminated bucket tote from Anna Griffin organizes with style; annagriffin.com [6]
The properties of tea won't diminish when stored properly. These tea caddies, both from Theodore Alexander, not only protect the delicate tea leaves, but are pretty, too. The octagonal caddy (#1105-078) is inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and its lid is topped with a brass finial. The Georgian pear-shaped caddy (#1000-125) features a brass handle in the shape of a stem; theodorealexander.com [7].
Slide 3 Of Tea Time [10]
For the past decade, coffee has been the beverage blockbuster, but tea is giving it a run for its money. Tea shops are popping up everywhere. The teapots above are housed on shelves at Gong Fu Tea in Des Moines, Iowa; gongfu-tea.com. Check out what's available in your local destination. Some of our favorites include Alice's Tea Cup (alicesteacup.com [11]), Lady Mendl's (innatirving.com [12]), and T Salon (tsalon.com [13]) in New York. In Los Angeles, we love Paddington's (paddingtonstearoom.com [14]).

The world of tea is no simple topic. Its complex varieties make having a guide at hand useful for the novice. This one, Harney & Sons Guide to Tea, yields a plethora of information (harneyandsons.com [31]). As delectable as the beverage itself, the tins and packaging used to sell tea are equally intriguing and beautiful. From back: Tea District, Portsmouth Tea Company (portsmouthtea.com [32]), Talbott Tea (talbottgourmetteas.com [33]), and Harney & Sons.

Cooking with Tea
Tea leaves add delicate herbal and floral notes to baked goods, sauces, marinades, and broths. The package description will tell you what characteristics to expect when you add tea leaves to your recipe. Usually, one tablespoon is enough to flavor the finished dish.
Brewed tea can be substituted for water in recipes with superb results. As a rule of thumb, substitute brewed tea for half the liquid in a recipe. (Try cooking jasmine rice in brewed tea.) Brew tea for cooking in slightly warm (not boiling) water to avoid bitterness.
These four recipes showcase tea as an ingredient in shortbread, pasta sauce, deviled egg, and sangria. Visit a tea shop or a natural food store for the best, freshest selection of tea leaves.
Green Tea Shortbread Wedges
These intriguingly beautiful cookies are made with emerald-hued matcha (Japanese green tea powder), ground from tea leaves. Matcha is sold by the ounce
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons matcha (green tea powder)
- 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- Green luster dust* (optional)
Preheat oven to 325°F. In medium bowl combine flour, sugar, matcha, and lemon peel. Using pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling. Form mixture into ball; knead until smooth.
To make shortbread wedges, place dough on ungreased cookie sheet; pat or roll dough into 8-inch circle. Carefully crimp the edge of the dough circle. Cut circle into 8 to 12 wedges. Do not separate wedges. Using rounded edge of candy or cookie mold, make leaf imprint in each wedge.
Bake in preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes or just until bottom of shortbread starts to brown and center is set. Cut circle into wedges again while warm. Let stand on cookie sheet 5 minutes. Transfer wedges to wire rack; let cool. Enhance leaf designs by lightly brushing leaf imprints with luster dust. Makes 8 to 12 wedges.
*Test Kitchen Tip: Look for luster dust in the cake- and cookie-decorating section of crafts stores.
To store: Place cookies in layers separated by waxed paper in airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Golden Tea Sangria
This sangria is a refreshing aperitif or delightful brunch starter. Chardonnay, sparkling wine, sparkling water, or white grape juice will give the sangria varying degrees of sweetness and dryness. Choose the one that best suits your taste.
- 4 cups water
- 6 bags English breakfast tea
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups assorted fresh fruit (such as sliced oranges, lemons, peaches, or plums and/or halved grapes)
- 2 cups chardonnay, sparkling wine, sparkling water, or white grape juice
- Ice
In medium saucepan, bring water to boil. Add tea bags; let steep 5 minutes. Remove tea bags. Add sugar, stirring until it dissolves. Stir in fruit and chardonnay. Serve in ice-filled tall glasses. Makes 6 servings.

Tea-Sauced Scallops with Orange and Honey
Keemun tea has a fruity aroma with hints of pine. This recipe works equally well with shrimp or fish. If using fish, choose firm-fleshed fillets such as bass or roughy; cut fillets into thumb-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 1 pound sea scallops
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Keemun tea leaves or other Chinese black tea leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or soy sauce
- 6 ounces Chinese egg noodles, rice noodles, or angel hair pasta
- Thinly sliced green onion
- Cilantro sprigs (optional)
Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic; cook and stir 30 seconds. Add scallops. Cook and stir 2 minutes or until scallops just turn opaque. Transfer scallops to small bowl; cover and keep warm.
Carefully pour orange juice into skillet, stirring to dislodge any particles adhering to pan. Add tea leaves; cook and stir mixture 30 seconds. Add honey, soy sauce, and any scallop liquid from bowl. Reduce heat; simmer 3 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.
Cook Chinese noodles or pasta according to package directions. Drain; set aside.
Strain tea mixture through fine mesh sieve; return liquid to pan, discarding solids.
Transfer scallops from bowl to pan with slotted spoon; toss gently to coat with sauce. To serve, arrange noodles into nests on four warm dinner plates. Top with scallops and sauce. Garnish with green onion and cilantro sprigs. Makes 4 servings.
Slide 10 Of Tea Time [45]
Thousand-Year-Old Deviled Eggs and Crab
This interesting combination of Chinese, Japanese, and Southern traditions is as delicious as it is attractive. The marble pattern intensifies the longer the shelled eggs are exposed to air.
- 6 eggs
- 6 Darjeeling or other black tea bags
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 6 ounces crabmeat, picked over and flaked
- 1/4 cup minced shallots
- 2 tablespoons minced pickled ginger
- Pinch powdered wasabi or dab wasabi paste
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise, regular or reduced-fat
- 1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- Salt and ground white pepper
- Slices of pickled ginger, for garnish
- Chives, cut into 1-inch lengths, for garnish
Put eggs in saucepan; cover with water. Bring just to boil; reduce heat. Gently simmer 10 minutes. Remove eggs with slotted spoon; set aside. When cool enough to handle, gently roll eggs on counter to crack shells all over. Do not peel.
Meanwhile, bring 3 cups water to boil; add tea bags and soy sauce. Remove from heat; steep 5 minutes. Discard tea bags, squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible. Place eggs in liquid and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight in liquid.
Drain eggs, peel, and blot dry. Let stand, uncovered, at least 1 hour in refrigerator for marbled pattern to develop. Carefully cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove and mash yolks. Combine yolks with crabmeat, shallots, and minced pickled ginger. Blend wasabi, mayonnaise, and vinegar together. Combine with crab mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Fill egg halves with rounded tablespoon of crab mixture. Top with a slice each of pickled ginger and chive. Store remaining crab mixture in refrigerator 1 to 2 days. Makes 12 deviled egg halves.
