I call it Coco-Mocha. Mix vanila and suisse mocha International brand instant coffee together. Love it.
This time of year I love to eat a handful of those huge “holiday grapes” in the evening when I am reading.

My reading time treat during this time of year is fuzzy PJ’s , a fire in the fireplace and a fresh cup of coffee. Once in a while I like to kick it up with a coffee loaded up with hot cocoa and French vanilla creamer.

A mug of flavored coffee by my side…
M&Ms – let them slowly melt in my mouth. Lasts for chapters and chapters.

If I drink I can’t read so my favorite treat is nilla wafer cookies dipped in Nutella spread. OMG. looooooove them!
A warm cuppa (tea…white tea, that is which means with milk and sugar) to wrap my hands around to warm up before sipping (and slipping into a good book).

Take a tube sock, fill with white rice, tie it off. Put it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Use for headaches or back pain. For fancy flourishes, put lavender, thyme, orange peels, peppermint extract or whatever you want in with the rice. I like to lie down on my couch with one of these and read. So comforting.

I enjoy reading in bed with my big back pillow for support, while drinking a cup of English Breakfast tea and eating digestive biscuits from my bedside table tray. So relaxing !!!!!!
The best (to me), especially during the winter, is a hot cup of spicy or herbal tea or sometimes a brandy. The ultimate in relaxation with an interesting read.
A freshly brewed cup of good coffee!
Chocolate chip cookies!
Cookies, preferably shortbread.
A cup of Typhoo tea helps me to get into the reading mood so well.
I used to love a big cup of tea (English Breakfast) and a Time Out. I would dip the Time Out in my tea and it would get melty and just be divine. Nowadays, since I don’t live in England anymore, I like to have a cup of tea (still English Breakfast) and a piece of chocolate (whatever we have around the house). Its not the same, but just as good.
I like diane’s idea of chai + pie! I made chai spiced cookies this year so I can change up the tea choices but still get that wintry spice feeling. A pot of any good strong black tea with milk.
