Head to the Deli.
On toasted multi-grain bread, order honey ham, with crisp bacon and provolone cheese, hot (nice and melty). Top it with cool cole slaw and a thick slice of tomato, plus black pepper.

Mini Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes
Friday, August 21, 2009
You may remember the Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes I made in November of last year. I gave a batch to my friend Sara for her birthday and she shared some with a co-worker, Jean. Jean loved the cupcakes so Sara asked me to make some for Jean on her birthday. There’s nothing that makes me [...]
