Sunshine Elephant	Hello. congratulations on a splendid website. I just thought i'd pop you an email to say thank you for writing such an entertaining book. i'm an english literature student and this was the first book i've actually read all this year. which includes case studies and books i'm meant to have to of read for the course itself. from sunshine elephant.
	Nicey replies: I think that has made me proud.
Marybeth Swiger Nabisco Nutter Butter Review	Whilst reading biccy reviews, I found the above-mentioned biscuit. I think you owe it to other biscuit lovers to let them know that this isn't the only Nutter Butter variety available. Nabisco (no matter how hard they try to convince me of the 'homemade goodness' of their biscuits, I know they're a huge conglomerate) also make Nutter Butter Creme (sic) Patties. Even better than the peanut shaped biscuit, this is a slightly sweet wafer, filled with a smooth peanutty filling. They come as three large slabs in a tray, marked off as pillows - rather like a strip of ravioli. The downside of eating them is the wafer - when very fresh, the wafer shatters easily, and one can become covered with crumbs quite fast. Also, wafers plus dampness equals a less than palatable bite, so these slabs need to be decanted to a tin for ideal storage (like so many North American biscuits, they come wrapped in thin cellophane). These biscuits aren't available here in Canada, but thank goodness for cross-border shopping to the States. A lovely treat, and entirely moreish.

	Nicey replies: They sound very closely related to the stuff that finally saw off Elvis.
Vianne Gold	As an ardent tea and biscuit fan living in the biscuit wasteland that is the American south I love visiting your site. I am sending a "recipe" of sorts for Liz who asked about chai. I found combining 1 bag of Bigelow Oolong tea, and one bag of Celestial Seasonings "Bengal Spice", made a decent chai. The Bengal Spice has all the proper chai spices, especially the pepper-very warming-and it is often left out in the pre-packaged sweet chai drinks. If you are a cardamom lover (another spice often deleted due to its cost) throw in an extra pod or two, or a pinch of the fresh ground powder. Top your cup of chai with milk, soy milk, rice milk or for a special treat almond milk. Hope this serves as a good starting point for Liz and any other chai do-it-yourself-ers. Vianne PS- Down here tea and biscuits refers to hideously oversweetened ice tea and doughy white bread dumplings that go in your box of takeaway fried chicken.
	Nicey replies: Yep, what ever it takes for you folks to survive, as I have said we drink PG Tips.
Chris	Hi Nicey, I saw the feature of you and your book on This Morning, this week; I was most interested, amused and thrilled... As an avid fan of biscuits, I was hoping you might be able to help me...I have been trying to find out where I can buy a good old fashioned biscuit barrel (tin) - the ones with the beans in the lid, to keep the biscuits fresh... My mother has one, I think it was a wedding gift...But it hasn't been the same biscuit enjoyment since I left home (a long time ago!) If you don't know; what is your best storage advice, please! Thanks. Best Wishes, Chris
	Nicey replies: Well now is the time of year, but mostly now you need to get it indirectly as a container of mixed crackers for cheese. This is where we obtained ours, and I'm sure I saw them in the shops last year. It was either M&S or Sainsbury's. After you have scoffed the crackers you'll have a nice biscuit tin.
Liz	I've tried making my own chai before with a sort of loose mixture, and it ended in a (somewhat tasty) disaster. I've just moved to Wisconsin and it's cold enough to warrant a good cup of chai, something I rarely wanted when I lived farther south. Could you offer some sort of recipe? Regards, Liz, USA
	Nicey replies: Liz, Sorry we drink PG Tips.
