Tea-rrific Tuesday : How about a cup of tea, or coffee, and a slice of low carb fruit cake !

Yes, it's Tuesday, but do you often feel Tuesday's can be a funny day? It's the day after Monday and the day before mid-week, whereas, Thursday's can feel completely different, because for many it's almost the end of the working week! 

But, no matter what day it is, and whatever I have planned I always have time for a nice cuppa. My first choice would be tea, but yours might be coffee!


of course if you were to call around,
I would offer you a slice of low carb fruit cake
please see recipe details here


and yes, if your choice were tea, I would make sure I'd made it the perfect way


although I do make a good cup of coffee too!
Thanks for having a cuppa with me,
I hope you enjoy the rest of your day

All the best Jan

It's only over the last couple of years that I've started drinking tea, and I don't drink coffee at all. Don't mind a slice of cake though!

Tom said...

...fruit cake has never been favorite.

Hello,

I would like the coffee or tea. I am not a fan of fruit cake. Wishing you a happy day and a great new week!

I only started drinking herbal teas, but in that short time I've grown to love them. Sipping on some Buttermint right now.

Lee said...

I've just forwarded the fruit cake recipe onto a good friend of mine who is on the Keto diet. Thank you on her behalf. :)

I do love a good cup of tea. It is not easy to find loose tea around here and when we do it is super expensive! Eventually we would love to make some homemade tea from herbs we grow.

Ygraine said...

So good to have a cuppa with you, Jan...and that cake...oh wow does it sound delicious!!
Thank you so much for this brilliant post. I really enjoyed...plus, I now know how to brew a proper cup of tea!! :))

Have a super day xxx

My choice is definitely coffee, but I like the look of that cake! You asked about how many steps I do - I have 10000 set as minimum in my tracker, but mostly it's a lot more, my average last week was 18000 each day. Valerie

Hi There, I'm drinking a cup of hot tea right now!!!!!! My hubby taught in China a long time ago --and learned to LOVE hot tea. I had never enjoyed it much until I met George.... I LOVE it now...

Have a great week.
Hugs,
Betsy

I don't like coffee so I would take up your offer of a cup of tea, in a china cup, with a slice of cake.

Mary Kirkland said...

I don't drink coffee I do drink tea though. I use tea bags though.

Elephant's Child said...

I am sipping a cup of chai tea as I read this - but would happily join you in another. Thank you.

Many thanks to you all for your comments so far …

For those who are not keen on fruit cake how about a slice of lemon cake?

@Valerie, many thanks for answering my question about the number of steps you do (I did also thank you on your blog)

Google translate:
I'm more of coffee than tea. I take it at breakfast and at lunch.

I'm a tea fan, although I'm the lazy tea drinker, just a quick teabag topped with boiling water for a few seconds.xxx

Chatty Crone said...

I would love to have a cuppa with you!

William Kendall said...

I do go for tea.

JFM said...

Oh! that looks delicious!

Bill said...

Coffee and a slice of fruit cake please. I love fruit cake and nobody in my family now and when i was growing up liked it.

This N That said...

I'm having a cup of coffee as I write this..A friend got me hooked on coffee and I've tried several times to go back to tea..It just seems so blah compared to coffee..Not as hearty?? Strange aftertaste too..Enjoy your week..

happyone said...

I'd love to have a cuppa with you and a piece of the cake. : )
Only a tea drinker myself, never did like coffee.

Pam said...

I am not a hot tea drinker but I love my iced tea. I however will drink it from time to time in the winter but not often. Here in the south USA we are iced tea drinkers mostly.

kathyinozarks said...

Wow your fruitcake recipe sounds delicious-I pinned it so I could find again. thanks

Martha said...

Tea and cake sounds great. I'll be right over! :)

Louca por porcelana said...

I would love to have a cuppa with you too!The cake looks yummy!

Conniecrafter said...

I don't drink coffee or hot tea, but I do make black ice tea that I drink every day

Amy at Ms. Toody Goo Shoes said...

I'll have a cuppa coffee, please, and a piece of that fruit cake!

Sami said...

I only drink tea, but no milk on the tea for me!
Love Fruitcake so will look up that low carb recipe. Thanks Jan.

Not sure why certain day feel like a certain day. Coffee is on

Iris Flavia said...

Tea here, too - though it is said a cup of coffee a day is healthy.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I prefer coffee, thank you. In the states, most people don't use cream, but prefer either sugar, lemon, or both.

My name is Erika. said...

I may pass on the fruit cake (well, just a little slice please-I have no will power!!), but I am glad I know the perfect way to make tea now. Can I have mine without milk though?

Practical Parsimony said...

I never drink hot drinks. The few times I do drink hot chocolate, I must drink ice water afterwards to keep me from feeling ill.
Jay Leno said he did not understand drinking hot drinks! Same here.

I had a "breakfast bread" that had dried nectarines chopped. It sounds similar to the fruitcake here. It was not cloyingly sweet like traditional fruitcakes.

Margaret D said...

I'm a tea drinker but usually only one a day - remainder of the day water.

Magic Love Crow said...

Thanks Jan! I love tea and I love fruit cake! Big Hugs!
