This whole tea idea was unplanned. Things were hectic at work. Besides, the son is with Grandma in the home country. But a friend was greeting her Mom friends on FB, I was tagged on cards a couple times and it looked like people were bent on making the day something you wouldn't forget easily. Well, they show me. I love celebrations so it didn't take long for me to decide that I was having tea after all.
I picked Coffee Beans by Dao, a posh cafe in a posh mall to celebrate Mother's Day with a girl friend. She's not a Mom but her niece just had a baby and that according to her makes her a Grandma. Sweet. I believe in treating the self from time to time, and of course it is such joy to have a friend to celebrate special occasions with.
The Moroccan mint tea (on collage) was a welcome taste as it was my first since 2010. Blueberry cheese cake is the specialty of the house and that's what I had. Yum!
Why does food look so inviting right after work? Yeah... work hard, party hard.
Or maybe it's just me. I'm a fan of food and I love to eat. I even like saying that ;)
Oh yum -- good cheesecake just can't be topped (except with berries and whipped cream). Sounds like a heavenly day with luscious treats. For joy!
