It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity.  I bet this kind of thing does not happen to heroin addicts.  I bet that when serious heroin addicts go to purchase their heroin, they do not tolerate waiting in line while some dilettante in front of them orders a hazelnut smack-a-cino with cinnamon sprinkles.  ~Dave Barry

Hey! Welcome to Kettle & Cup! You might all ready know me from Baking Delights where I get to share my passion for cooking with you. Here is another area that I am passionate about!

  A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards.  ~A.A. Milne

This blog is one caffeinated blog-party.  You will find everything from Victorian tea menus and rituals  and tea parties with your kids to the zen of green tea.  Love coffee? Me to!

I think if I were a woman I’d wear coffee as a perfume.  ~John Van Druten

Recipes for coffee and tea drinks, using coffee and tea flavorings, and as an accompaniment to coffee and tea will show up among the off-beat news and cool new products.  Pictures of antique and vintage teapots rub shoulders with images of the Colombian rain forest.      If it has to do with coffee or tea it will be here.

In Seattle you haven’t had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it’s running.  ~Jeff Bezos

You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.  ~C.S. Lewis
