Do you ever think of an idea for a dish, maybe one that's a little more complex than your usual so you're kind of worried about messing it up big time, but then you totally pull it off and it's exactly what you imagined?!

I did that.

Again with the tropical flavours! I'm sorry (not really) but they're just so darn good. Even though it's still miserable and rainy and a little cold here, I want bright and fresh and light in my desserts! And I know that New York had snow the other day and some people are still shovelling their driveways, but the calendar says it's spring, so I'm going with that.

I love tea. I've always loved tea. I drink tea every single morning and have done since I was a little kid. Back then, I used to drink it out of brightly coloured plastic cups. Now I drink out of an actual mug, but everything else is basically the same. I like my routines, probably a bit too much, and my morning tea routine hasn't changed in about 12 years.

Recently, I've been drawn to the tropical and exotic flavours of Asia. This may be because the flavours are somewhat new to me and therefore exciting. It may be because during these cold months, I need something to brighten up my days.

Or it may be because I am going to the Philippines in 5 and a half weeks and I can't stop thinking about it!!
