but, fear not! (i guess?) i do have some interesting treats for today, and probably more sometime soon. at least, that is the aim, anyway, like this week or some sort.
it's too bad it was a cloudy day when i took these pictures. they really did have a "green tea" color to them. (i did not use food coloring, btw.) i have been going through a phase of being obsessed with green tea lately, and for almost two months, i was looking up (on and off) places to buy matcha relatively inexpensive. of course, wegmans had some that was decently priced, and i figured it would be for experimental purposes only, so why not. (i am totally drinking jasmine pearl green tea as i am typing this. these lonely, sad, sunday mornings. sigh.)
anyway, i super loved these! ron wasn't a fan. i have to make them again, though, because i didn't feel like digging for regular salt, and in a stupid moment thought, "sea salt will work fine!" NOPE.
saltiness aside, i put some powdered sugar on top of them and it kind of made up for it. either way, they were super awesome! matcha does have a slightly different flavor than green tea itsself, i read that it is quite literally ground up leaves, so you can get ALL the antioxidants and benefits from the tea. fancy, right? *pinkies out*
i dunno. i found some other matcha recipes, like truffles, cookies and bread. i also have been looking at stuff with lavender. i know, all these weird ingredients, right? i am weird. i will admit to that. deal with it. but how many places around here would make stuff like this? you can't really walk into many bakeries and ask for green tea flavored things.
okay, now i'm just rambling. i forgot where i was going with that. that reminds me i have to look up some ingredients for some cupcakes for a wedding next year.....i have to get ready for work, too. i need a way to keep track of my thoughts.
i love blueberry muffins. i love green tea. these were a nice twist on both. i wonder if strawberries would be good in them as well? ☺
that is an experiment for another day, i guess. oh! random last thought here. with all the nice weather, i had to get my brakes done (finally) last week. my friend works right behind my work, and i didn't have a ride home. it is only 4 1/2 miles (exactly) from work to home, sooo i did another experiment and walked/ran home! i actually made it in 57 minutes! 25 of that was jogging. go me! was feeling somewhat accomplished. ☺
anyway, i will leave it at that for now. hoping to have something to come back with next week if i can force myself to get motivated. have a good week, all! thanks for reading! ♥
