Back to the Fold

As always when I change trains in Mannheim and have a little time, I went to enjoy a cup of very good tea at the Tea Lounge. It is in the train station and by far the best tea shop I know. You can also drink tea there or get it "to go". And they make japanese rice cakes and sushi. :-) My Dad loves their crackers (I don't), and I usually buy a bag for him when I'm there.

So, the first thing I had to do was pet her - for a long, long time.

Eventhough she moves less and can't do all the things she used to, she is still a very pretty lady and enjoying life.


In todays events I almost forgot to open the next package. It was triangular and contained vanilla flavored red tea. My father donated a tea can because the tea managed to work its way out of the skillfully crafted paper bag.
I discovered later that the paper bag, which was made from an A4 piece of paper, had a recipe for plum cake on the inside. I taped the paper back together and will try to make the cake next time I feel like baking. It certainly sounds good. :-)

The prune cake is very good. My Mother made it for my bithday, which is why that piece of paper happened to be around when I was packing the tea.
It's rather heavy though, so I recommend you invite lots of people for tea, or make a smaller portion.
