New Year, New Business ~ January 2010

Hello everyone,

A few weeks ago I sent out a note to my tea newsletter recipients stating that the tea company for which I was a consultant was going out of business. I also mentioned that I would let you know if the business would continue in another form. Well, it will!!

Now you will be able to get your favorite Let’s Do Tea teas at Aquinas and More Catholic Goods! Meredith Tiezen, owner and founder of Let’s Do Tea has decided to turn her home party business into a wholesale business, and I am starting a new company called Propers and Ordinaries: Hospitality for the Domestic Church in order to bring these wonderful teas to you. I may be able to sell my wares online at www.Aquinasandmore.com as well, so stay tuned! I will be setting up a display at Aquinas and More on the corner of Flintridge and Academy in the near future (as soon as I finish the paperwork for opening my own business).

Propers and Ordinaries will emphasize hospitality as its main focus, and I hope to eventually offer more good products to help you open your hearts and homes to others in Christ’s name. I will start with teas and go from there. I will honor Aquinas and More’s policy of not selling any products from China, so I will be looking for teapots and other tea accoutrements made in the USA or other countries. I will continue to have a newsletter, so if you want to receive it and were already on my list, you don’t have to do anything. If you are not on my list and would like to be, just let me know!

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me!

In Christ,

Favorites: Faith and Family Magazine

Today I want to tell you about Faith and Family.  This is one of my favorite magazines, and the only Catholic magazine I read regularly.  There are many fine Catholic publications out there, I am sure.  There are many I would like to read.  However, as a homeschooling Mom of 8, I appreciate the immediate application of Faith and Family.  I like that I can look in the section called “The Season” and find activities and prayers that I can use to celebrate the liturgical season right away.

I appreciate the fine art that is depicted within the pages of Faith and Family.  For example, in the July/August 2009 there is a section dedicated to the Year of the Priest, with beautiful, edifying paintings by Francois Marius, Pietro Longhi, Nicholas Poussin, and others.  All of the pictures depict various “jobs” a priest performs in the fulfillment of his vocation, such as anointing of the sick and hearing confessions, in a most beautiful way.  I may not have time to go to a museum, but Faith and Family brings great art to me and brings beauty to my world of washing dishes and changing diapers.  In a way it helps me see that my life, as mundane as it may seem, is my way to heaven, and that washing dishes and changing diapers are acts of love and service, and pleasing to my Lord.

I will write more about Faith and Family another time.  As you can imagine, I don’t have tons of time to write reviews.  I have a vocation to live, and it just can’t wait.   I will say one thing, though.  Faith and Family can be a great tool in fulfilling that vocation.

See what I am talking about HERE.

Beans of the Dead (Fave Dei Morti)
Note: Here is a recipe for Italian “soul” cookies. The theme of beans suggests the idea of burial and rebirth. Sometimes these are called “Ossi dei Morti” or “Bones of the Dead” and shaped like bones instead of beans. Even though the idea of bones and the dead sound morbid, these cookies are delicious! Enjoy them on All Souls’ Day with a cup of your favorite tea. This is a variation of a recipe from A Continual Feast by Evelyn Birge-Vits

2/3 cup almonds, finely ground
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
4 Tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces and softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Grated rind of 1 lemon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place very finely ground almonds in a large bowl. Add the sugar, and blend well with a fork. Add the flour and the cinnamon, then the butter, then finally the egg, the vanilla, and the grated lemon rind, mixing well with each addition. With a fork or floured hands, work the mixture to a smooth paste.

Break off large-bean-sized pieces of paste (about 1 inch long), and place them about 2 inches apart on a greased, floured baking sheet. Squash each piece slightly to produce an oval shape like a lima or fava bean.

Bake for 10 – 15 minutes, or until golden.

Yield: about 100 one-inch beans.

Variation: shape dough into bones, 1 or 2 inches long.

Tea Party ideas
How about an open house party around All Souls Day? Serve Beans of the Dead with a variety of teas – how about Cranberry Peach or Pumpkin Spice?

Tea Newsletter ~ October 2009

Hello everyone,

October is nearly here!  The year nears its end and the days shorten.  It is a pensive and sometimes melancholic season, but it can also be energizing as we think of the holidays ahead when we will come together with friends and family.  We are re-doing our family schedule and making Fridays Cookie and Craft Days.  We’ll finish our school early and spend Friday either making a batch of cookies to freeze and save for Christmas, or making Christmas cards and gifts.  When our work (and play!) is done, we’ll settle down with a cup of tea and story time!

As promised, I have three new seasonal teas to offer you!  I hope you will enjoy them.

Tea Newsletter ~ September, 2009

Hello everyone,

September has always brought images of fiery leaves and cooler weather, even while growing up in the California desert, where September’s temperatures still hovered in scorching 100+ degrees.  Even so, the word “September” makes me think of cozy sweaters and sipping a hot drink while watching the first snow flakes flutter out of the clouds.

So to celebrate the cooler temperatures ahead, even if they are not here yet, I have new tea flavors to offer you!

Look for three new seasonal teas in next month’s newsletter!

Blackberry Wine Cake
Note: September 29 is St. Michael’s Day, or Michaelmas.  There is a legend that says that when St. Michael defeated Satan, he threw him out of heaven and the devil landed in a blackberry bush, which immediately grew sharp thorns.  It is traditional to eat blackberries in St. Michael’s honor on his feast day.  Enjoy!

1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup blackberry wine
4 eggs
1/2 Cup oil
1 pkg (3 oz) berry gelatin of your choice (blackberry, black cherry or black raspberry work well)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour a tube or Bundt cake pan.  Mix all ingredients together on medium speed for 2 minutes.  Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 45 Thuntil wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.  When done, leave cake in the pan until cool.  Remove from pan onto platter. Garnish with fresh blackberries and mint leaves.  Serve with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and a cup of blackberry tea!

Tea Party ideas
Host a first-day-of-autumn tea party!  There’s nothing like a hot cup of tea and the company of good friends to warm our hearts as fall nips the air.

Tea Newsletter ~ August 2009

Hello!  Summer seems to be winding down here in Colorado.  We hardly had any warm weather at all this year!  I am not complaining about the rain, though.  This is the greenest summer in recent history around here.  I wonder what this winter is going to be like?

I hope you are all enjoying whatever weather you have in your area.

Recipe (you can send me your favorites to be published in future issues!)

Apricot Fool

Note: A fool is an old-fashioned English dessert that combines pureed fruit and whipped cream or custard.  This version is best when made with fresh ripe apricots.  Canned apricots can also be used; drain them and reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup.  Individual bowls filled with apricot fool and decorated with reserved apricot slices and additional whipped cream make a tasty and attractive presentation.

1 lb. fresh apricots

1/3 – 1/2 Cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

1 Cup heavy cream

Halve and pit the apricots, then slice them thinly.  It is not necessary to peel them. Set aside about 1 1/2 cups of the apricot slices.  Place the remaining apricot slices and the brown sugar in a food processor fitted with the metal blade or in a blender.  The amount of sugar you use will depend on how sweet the apricots are.  Process until smooth.

Using chilled beaters and a large chilled bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.  Gently fold in the apricot mixture and then 1 cup of the reserved slices.

Spoon the apricot-cream mixture into individual bowls.

Garnish with the reserved slices and serve.

Serves 4

recipe adapted from Williams-Sonoma’s Fruit Desserts cookbook.

Tea Party ideas
It’s not too late to have an Iced Tea Party!  There are still plenty of warm days ahead.  Or how about a Back To School tea party?  Jelly Bean Dream fruit & herb tea is a hit with the younger crowd and is very good iced or hot.  Have a special treat after the first day of school: a cup of Cinnamon Delight Rooibos tea (iced or hot) and giant home made chocolate chip cookies!

Raising Them Right

Overheard:

Susan: Here, Margaret, you can play with this doll.  Annie, you have to play with the one showing her belly button.

Annie: Mommy!  Susan is making me play with the doll that’s not modest!
