To a T

Having sampled it in gelée form and its black tea cousin je t'Aime, I am now determined to try this green tea... It comes from a Parisian tea house, has notes of strawberry, raspberry, and almond, and smells like love at first sight!

Since the summer weather is upon us, there is no better way to chill than with ice cream. I was set on picking up some in coffee flavour, but realized this frozen yogurt version was much healthier so I decided to give it a try. Verdict? Delicious and tastes just like ice cream!

Take me out

Lately I have become concerned with not only the environmental impact of using the disposable chopsticks that come with Asian take out food, whether they are for pho or sushi, but also with the cleanliness of the mass production process. So when I spotted red cutlery with heart-shaped ends, I knew they were keepers and snagged them right away!

How's this for healthy?

I consider myself to be a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to instant noodles since I have tried a lot of the stuff. Oh, I turn my nose up at Mr. Noodles and other western store brand varieties, but if you take me to an Asian grocery store, I could kill serious time in the noodle aisle.

So I am very excited to share my new favourite, which comes from a major snack product giant. It has a fish soup base, is not fried (a rarity in the instant noodle world), and does not contain MSG. Although the writing is in Korean, the North American packaging has English and the name is the Korean onomatopeia for slurping:
