Turon, Glorious Turonfeatured
It never ceases to amaze me how magical it is when you taste something wonderful for the first time.
What a rush it is when you bite down, and your tastebuds are all like, “Whoa. Whoa! What is this?!”
This is exactly what happened to me the other day when I tasted Turon, a deep fried, banana and jackfruit filled, burnt sugar coated, Filipino treat that rocked my world.

Rishi Tea Giveaway!featured
Today marks the First Day of Spring! You know, the season when cherry blossoms bloom, pheromones abound, and people come out of the woodworks to frolick in the sun. Spring also happens to be when Rishi Tea’s organic white teas are hand harvested in Fujian, China.
These particular varietals are harvested only once a year in early spring when the first leaf sprouts and buds are at their peak of flavor, aroma, mouthfeel and sweetness. Oh spring beauty, how fleeting you are.
I saw Rishi’s beautiful handcrafted Plum Blossom Teapot on their newsletter and thought it would be the perfect prize for Lick My Spoon’s Very First Giveaway!

Homemade Irish Creamfeatured
Liquid Luck of the Irish! My favorite kind.
I was delighted to come across this recipe for Homemade Irish Cream Liqueur a few weeks ago at The Hungry Mouse and knew it would come in handy for St. Paddy’s Day.
It really tastes just like Bailey’s! Except better…because you can adjust the booziness 😉
