This is tough - I have to go with anything chocolate, most baked goods (cakes, cookies, brownies, cheesecakes, breads, other assorted pastries, and there's a special soft-spot in my stomach for macarons, but I haven't found anywhere around me that makes them... I've got a couple recipes for them - just haven't been brave enough to try to make them), and most things with cheese, including but not limited to plain cheese (brie/camembert being the favorites there) or forms of cheese-in-pastry. I can't have nuts or popcorn until the braces come off, so those have been off the radar for a few months.

Been a good TeaDay so far - Snowbud with breakfast, Wuyi with lunch, and Gyokuro while at the mall (not as good as the last time I had it there, but was still pretty good). Next? Dunno, but I really feel like baking now...

cheesy ish number one! I love cheesy Mexican fast food...flautas, quesadillas and molletes :D

Also I really like salty and crunchy snacks like crackers and potato chips

Chocolate I like but I´m really picky about it, my family keeps buying me oversweetened chocolate and it piles up because I don´t like it...but it makes me feel bad about buying chocolates that I do like. :?

Chocolate and chocolate-based candies. Hands down. I'm actually eating some as I type. It's actually supposed to be "green tea and honey" chocolate but I cannot taste any tea in it. The honey flavor is very nice though.

Gasp, there is nothing in my cup at the moment! I must remedy this immediately.

Dark chocolate, salty/crunchy, & cookies! And sometimes all together! :oops:
Have gotten into raw chocolate of late, and without sugar (agave to sweeten instead).

In my wan this morning-matcha seiun, followed by Pheonix pomelo fragrance oolong from Teance.
Cheers.

Here's a fav snack of late:

All natural potato chip topped with organic crunchy roasted peanut butter and seedless blackberry jam. And a bit of dark bittersweet chocolate riddled with almond bits and topped with coarse sea salt.

Heh heh.

:wink:

I have a huge soft spot for baked goods. Brownies, pies, muffins, etc. I love crunchy/salty snacks, too.

Today I tried the '10 Castleton Estate FF Darjeeling. It was indeed excellent. Mmmmmmmmmm pineapple! :D :lol:

Currently drinking some jasmine sencha.

As for snacks... I have a milk caramel and a black sugar caramel sitting within reach in case I get a caramel craving. :lol:

So its is me who does not snack. Yes I never did. Long time ago we would have the nine-O'clock sandwich and then again at 4 in the afternoon called Vesper. May be those were snacks. Gave up on it ever since I had grown-up.

Just now drinking my late morning tea, Yunnan silver needle, then I will nap.

I put on m 15-20 pounds in a few months when I went on a nut binge. This was coupled with a sudden stop in bike training after an injury, so I kept eating and stopped training ... suddenly none of my pants fit. :lol:
Hey chip you disillusioned me with your nuts experiances. And I thought my pants shrinked through hot washing. :mrgreen:
I really should spend more time to my other do - not just chado.

And forgot - Yesterday has been a white tea day for me. With "white satin", "pai mu tan" and "sun yon".

Nothing beats Japanese European-style cookies with morning Hediard blend black tea. Nothing. :D

I am also a lover of preserved meats. <3 biltong
