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

  1. 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!

  3. 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!

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

  6. 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.

  9. 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

  18. 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.

  22. 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.

  23. 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..

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

  25. 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.

  31. I only drink tea, but no milk on the tea for me!

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  35. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  36. 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.

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