Rooftop, NYC

Beautiful Weather in NYC today and some white wine in my favorite mug on the boyfriends rooftop in soho.
And two happy, half-naked men dancing and laughing.
Life is not so bad sometimes.

My favorite Spicy Ginger Tea

After a couple of weeks of over-indulging on festive food, I was feeling slightly nauseous today.
My boyfriend makes a great tea that worked asap.

This are is instructions, man-style:

All of this goes into a pot of boiling water:

Crush half of a Ginger Root with a Hammer.
Throw in some Cinnamon Sticks.
3 or 4 Cloves.
Half of a small Chilli Pepper.

Hang out around the pot and taste the brew every now and then,
Ten to fifteen minutes should be enough.

Sounds whack, but it is actually quite delicious hot or cold.

add honey or brown sugar to sweeten.

A Dominican Garden

I really like this picture that my boyfriend took. It captures my dream of living in a tiny cosy house in a garden. I have this dream that one day I will be a world-class gardener, a passion I inherited from my parents. To grow all my own food, flowers and herbs.
This is one of my goals in life, to have my little house in my garden in the sun ... so I don't have to deal with winter and can do my gardening year-round.
