one of the things i LOVE about france is the lack of “to go” coffees + teas. people actually take the time to sit and enjoy their coffee in a real ceramic cup, forgoing paper cups/styrofoam cups/plastic lids/cardboard sleeves/wooden stirrers . . . UGH. it’s the general difference in lifestyle compared to america. we are always in such a hurry to get from point A to point B, in the south of france, people take the time to savor their hot beverage over a conversation. i’m trying to adhere to this, but when i “need” to have tea in my studio, this is my to go cup.

on a grey rainy day like today, all i want to do is sit around and drink coffee and eat warm doughy things.

four years ago, i gave up my severe addiction to coffee. it was just making me nervous and sweaty anyway, not a good combination. plus it never really did taste as good as it smelled. but the other day i was at farley’s and the penetrating aroma of coffee so entranced me, that i ordered a latte. i thought i was in heaven. it was the creamiest, smoothest, and most satisfying liquid i could have ever imagined, and it even tasted as good as it smelled, maybe even better. though i’m still not converting back, i think i may indulge every now and again. because still for me, tea is the new coffee.
