I'm not in favor of holiday creep, but this spiced-up Assam tea has such a delicious winter-appropriate aroma that I'm almost feeling ready to deck the halls.
Cinnamon, ginger, anise, and cardamom come together with brisk, malty tea flavors for a spicy, eye-opening cup. It's bold without being bitter, and the gingery spice lingers in your mouth. It's more gingery than peppery—perfect for sipping with a gingerbread cookie. You could add some steamed milk and sugar for added richness, and to mellow it out a bit, but those who enjoy spicy chai will like this tea as-is, whether they are ready to hang up the stockings or not.
Numi also makes a rooibos-based herbal version of this tea.

make it

For years consumers have struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around. But 20 years ago a forward-thinking farmer on Japan's south-western   island   of Shikoku solved the problem. The farmer, from Zentsuji, in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are.......................

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread : " 'The Trader Joe's cornbread was some of the best cornbread I've tasted, from a mix or otherwise.' Ever wonder about a boxed mix you've seen in the store? Is it any good? Could it replace something you'd otherwise make from scratch? Welcome to Mixed Review , where the whole point is putting boxed mixes to the test! —The Mgmt. Two years ago, I did a roundup of standard supermarket cornbread mixes for this column and was generally unimpressed with all of them. They were gummy, thin, and cloyingly sweet. I called Jiffy, my top choice, 'solid, if not sensational' and recommended doctoring it up with add-ins like sun-dried tomatoes, poppy seeds, and pecans. This year, I thought it was time to revisit the cornbread basket by comparing two readily available specialty mixes: Crate & Barrel's Buttermilk Cornbread Mix ($8.95) and Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix ($2.69).
