Green Tea and Turkish Delight
Today is my last day of sick leave. It’s back to work and the daily grind tomorrow! My mouth has healed quite well, and I’m pretty much eating normal food again – although I probably should have stuck to soft food for longer. I just couldn’t bear it any longer!
Since it’s my last day lazing about at home, rather than drink my tea out of a mug like I normally do, I decided to use a nice teapot and cup and saucer. I bought them second-hand for peanuts, and I think they’re gorgeous!
Later, I’ll probably eat a piece or two of Turkish Delight that I purchased yesterday from the South Melbourne Market. It’s nice Turkish Delight, soft and jelly-like, with just a hint of rose. I tried making Turkish Delight once, and it was a hideous, hideous disaster. Lesson learned – not everything is better home made!
Now, despite the climbing temperature, I’m off to bake a banana cake. The amount of bananas in my freezer is starting to push out all other foods and I need to do something with them!

As much as I love green tea, I prefer a venti starbucks with cream and 10 packs of sugar, don’t you?

Hope your feeling all better and now its back to work!
I love your “new” tea cup and pot set, they look very stylish. By the way, I think your blog is great! Good work. I see I have many improvements to make to my blog. If you cant tell, I’m a little envious.

Hungry Bitch – only 10 packs of sugar? π
Maria – thank you so much for your lovely comment! π I feel very refreshed from my week off – too bad I don’t have any wisdom teeth left to take out because I could go another round and have another week!
