#VMteaoftheday and why I shouldn't be afraid of the dentist.

Oh boy, I'm in a world of pain. No, not metaphorically. I've got myself a healthy dose of physical pain. You see, I unwisely decided to cling fast to my wisdom teeth, because ironically enough I don't like pain. Those ungrateful suckers have since caused me a world of grief. The last few days I've been cradling my cheek and praying to the not-so-merciful dental Gods. Due to the aforementioned agony I've been pretty much living off tea and soup. This liquid diet and my general grouchiness has surely given my husband a glimpse into our elderly future together, poor guy.

So this, afternoon as I was cautiously sipping on yet another cup of tea (one of my sole links to the consumable world) I happened upon The Veggie Mama's "Tea With Me" post. And as such, here I am sharing with you my soothing beverage. It's a plain old peppermint tea, something I've probably drunk my weight in ten times over, over the course of the last few days. You can see it's pointlessly accompanied by a side of home-made ganache-coated pecans. I sucked on one for about 15 seconds and then woefully gave up. One day chocolate, we'll be together again.

Gratefully accepting any recipes that can be slurped up with the greatest of ease. A woman can only live on peppermint tea and onion soup for so long.
