What I’m Digging

Published October 26, 2012 | By ashley english

Happy Friday, friends! It’s been unseasonably warm here this week. Which works fine by me. Planting kale, chard, and brussels sprouts or sipping hard cider in 70 degree weather is some kind of wonderful.

I’ve got a Small Measures post up on Design Sponge. Today I’m sharing my recipe for homemade chai. We drink cup after cup of this all season long. Warms the body and the soul, promise.

In other news, here’s a smattering of this’s and that’s that caught my attention this week:
*Fight the flu with food.
*Easy pasta from scratch.
*8 best fall foods.
*Lady Gaga is getting into the bottled water business (I hope the bottle is compostable!).
*Tanya’s blog is truly lovely.
*Christopher Kimball’s approach to food (it’s a long, but interesting read).
*Edible Selby in person!
*Pumpkin + donut=happiness.
*Really excited about this book.

We’re hoping to visit Hickory Nut Gap Farm on Sunday. It’s the last of their Harvest farm days, with face-painting, a pumpkin patch, hard cider, and more. Looks like loads of fun.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!

I’m excited about your Chai recipe! My girls and I love it, but I can never make it at home quite the same as our favorite coffee shop. I’m trying it this weekend!

The Chai tea looks incredible!! I find Christopher Kimball to be such an interesting guy. I don’t always agree with him, but I like his original thoughts.

Hi Ashley! Thank you for the chai recipe, I am a total chai addict and probably spend way too much money at the coffee shop. It will be just what I need for the cold rainy weekend we have in store. Since this is the first time I have commented I also wanted to let you know that I dig your blog. Hope you and your family have great weekend!

I am not a big fan of young kids, teens are my favorite age group. But this picture of your boy is just so darn cute, it makes me want to go get a little kid for myself!
