jib chai



We had a cultural experience last night. John brought me a chai tea set from Iraq (isn't it cool?), and while Rachael, Martha, and I were addressing wedding invitations, he brewed up a quasi-Iraqi pot of chai tea.



We learned that when visitors come, you yell "Jib chai!," and in a few minutes, some household underling will bring a tray of tiny teacups full of tea.

It's very hot, and almost too sweet. Oozey pouted when we wouldn't share:



Maybe next time we can convince him to wear his man-dress while he jib chais...

LOVED it. But yes, you can only drink one cup or you will be up the rest of the night. Take my advice...
