[Sca-cooks] Chai, was Introduction and Question

[AnnaMarie]

I very much understand your irritation with Chai Tea, I believe I usually
only refer to it as Chai (but I do goof occasionally).  It's very much like
the breed of dog who owns me....  Shiba Inu, which is silly because Inu
means dog and many people say I have a Shiba Inu dog so they have a Shiba
dog dog..... wierd....

I don't use Vanilla in my Chai but I use most of the other spices you listed
except ground ginger, I just put a piece of crystalized ginger in which gets
me the sweet and then fish it out at the end to eat.

Thanks for the website, it was very interesting.
