vege bean soup + green tea custard...

Today I made some yummy vege soup for dinner, and also to freeze for lunches. I basically just threw in all the veges we had in the fridge into a soup. This includes; celery, carrots, capsicums, canned tomatoes, and spinach! Once it had simmered away, I pureed it up and added some cannelloni and butter beans. I made enough for 6 servings - and only 1 WW point per serve! (That is, if you don't add that teaspoon of ricotta....)



It doesn't look that pretty - but its tastes damn good.


While I was on such a domesticated bender, I made some green tea custard for dessert. (Low in points too!!) The photo REALLY doesn't do it justice - it was much brighter green in real life.



I have plans for green tea related things... and also for adzuki bean related things....

bloomin' tea

Oh my god. This tea is awesome. I'd heard about teas that bloom when you pour hot water on to them, but I had no idea how cool they were. AND it tasted great! This particular tea is called Good Fortune and came from T Leaf T in Wellington. I did some googling and apparently there a heaps of different types of tea! You can refill your cup for maximum value (this tea was quite pricey).

I really need to start drinking more herbal tea - would be a good excuse to buy a box of this... (if only it didn't cost $40 for a 100g tin!!!)

So pretty:
