Tea time in Vermont. . . . .

While thinking about tea when brewing a cup yesterday, 
I recalled this recent stop in Vermont.

During our wander around town in the afternoon, we 

were directed to the charming Tulsi Tea Room - A Vegetarian 
Cafe & Tea Lounge on Elm Street, for our 4 o'clock cuppa. 

Tucked into an older house off the main street, we were 

welcomed warmly and served good tea. The menu also offered
great foods made with local products such as Rhapsody Organic 
Egg Roll, LaLu Farm Empanadas, Dosa Plate with Potato Curry, 
but our dinner reservation awaited elsewhere. 

I told them would definitely mention 

their business here in blogland. . .
so if in town be sure to look them up.

ALSO, while on the subject of tea, Joann at 
Scene Through My Eyes has a great post up on the 
history of English tea towels. 
Go see her embroidered beauties, they are amazing!

Montpelier, in the foothills of the Green Mountains, 

has the distinction of the being the smallest state 

capital in the USA, with a population of just 8,000 people.

A small town with big city amenities, it also has a lively 
arts and music scene. There are good restaurants, largely 

due to the presence of the New England Culinary Institute, 

It was there that we enjoyed a delicious dinner before 
heading to catch the late evening ferry across Lake Champlain 
to New York.
