Not a food post

For those who know me or have read a few of my past posts you’ll know my other passion other than food is running; remember Post Running Wine and Food! and Half Marathon Food & Drink?

Working in an office and drinking tea (or coffee) seem to go hand-in-hand. In my office afternoon cake quite often accompanies our 3.10pm cup of tea! Today, as always, we took turns making the round of drinks; the conversation then evolved to be about tea… |

Sushi and Sashimi is an art and takes a real skill to create. My talented hubstar prepares his own take on Japanese cuisine and it alway looks and tastes awesome. For this post I think pictures speak louder than words, enjoy… |
