holly golightly and the london fog

if you want something fun to do on a rainy afternoon...
try this.....
watch "breakfast at tiffany's and sip a london fog:)



here is a look at the opening scene (my favorite scene:))



all the stuff in between is delightful and beautiful...
(i think she might be the only women in the world who could get away with those adorable bangs)

and the end....
well...
have a look...



and i think that george peppard looks like chris pine...
or tony dinozzo on ncis...
it's a treat to watch and once again, new york looks like the most amazing place to live...

Holly Golightly: You could always tell what kind of a person a man thinks you are by the earrings he gives  
you. I must say, the mind reels.

Holly Golightly: A girl can't read that sort of thing without her lipstick

the london fog



a london fog is a vanilla black tea latte...

i prefer to make mine with hot cinnamon spice tea from 

it is available at barnes and noble...
their tea bags are beautiful and the tea is delicious...





(black tea has the highest amount of caffeine of all the teas but it still only has 20% of the amount found in coffee)

first you brew the tea...
then steam or heat 2 tablespoons of 1% milk (skim milk does not froth well and there are only 6.7 calories in one tablespoon of 1% milk)
then add a splash of half and half...
i sweeten the milk just a little and then froth it and pour any liquid into the tea and spoon the foam on top...
then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar...
(if you want to sweeten the tea use a little turbinato or raw sugar)


this delicious latte has less than 40 calories and tastes amazing..... 


and my favorite toast is a raisin bagel from winco (they are the best, small and dense)
toasted, with butter and homemade raspberry peach jam...



now this was a great way to spend a rainy afternoon....



bye...
more later...
