About the spice…yesterday I had this gorgeous juicy tomato and some wonderful mozzarella cheese on hand, so decided to have them for lunch. I had some basil, which was great, and I had some lovely Maine sea salt. So, the makings for a beautiful salad for my lunch were at my fingertips. But, I LOVE pepper, and I didn’t have any at the shop. I then realized that my new chai blend has a nice peppery tone to it and decided to try it on my salad. I sprinkled some of the dry tea blend over the tomatoes and cheese, cut into them with a little piece of basil, and…heavenly! The combination of tea with spices…cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, ginger, cardamom, and pepper was so enriching to this salad, setting the tastebuds into nirvana. I highly recommend experimenting with using tea and tea blends as seasonings. If you think a dry tea might taste good as an ingredient in a dish you’re making, it probably will. Use them as you would any spice or seasoning. Bon Appetit!
Now that things are settling down a bit, I would like to announce Nellie’s new fall hours:
Thursdays 1:00PM to 6:00 PM
Fridays 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Saturdays 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Other times by appointment. I hope to see you soon!
Because we will sometimes close for private events, I encourage you to call before coming to avoid being disappointed.
Well, the school year is starting. I’m back at USM this week, so business hours will be shortened while I get into Fall schedule. Please stop by the shop this week on Thursday or Friday between 10 AM and 5 PM. The tea will be on and ready for you iced or hot. Or let me know if you need to come at another time more convenient to your schedule.
Sunday will find me at the Scarborough Farmer’s Market, located behind Scarborough Town Hall from 9 AM to noon. If you haven’t visited the market yet, be sure to stop in. It has taken on a very nice feel of a town meeting place, and you can do much of your weekly shopping there.
Hope to see you soon!

Things at Nellie’s are beginning to get settled and a rhythm is developing. I’ve missed this rhythm since leaving our old space in Biddeford last October, so it feels nice to settle back in.

Saturday: by chance or appointment
