I know those of you "in the know" of the culture over here are wondering about two things: 1. my Guiness consumption, and 2. my tea consumption. And the truth is that I partake in each a few times a week, more tea than Guiness overall, but not usually multiple pints of tea in one sitting.
I decided it was time to try a Tea Brack which is, as far as I can tell, like coffee cake, but more dense than spongy. So more like a dense banana bread, less pineapple-upside-down-cakey and more fruit-cakey. There's a little bakery just up the block that I will go into. It reminds me a little of Bakesale Betty (and they sell Sticky Toffee Pudding!) so I'll treat myself once in a while to something.
Rather than get the original flavor, I opted for their new one: Apricot Pecan with chocolate. She invited feedback because it is new and they'll be reworking it. Typical bakery protocol and I do like to feel helpful so I take it. And it's not that it isn't good, but I am not crazy about chocolate in my bread. I'll go for it once in a while, but I have an entire Tea Brack (which is the shape and weight of a brick...hmmm...) to work through here.
Next time, I'll go for the original. But that may take me a few weeks before I feel up to it. I've had plenty of Tea Brack for this week.

Now I'm going to spend the rest of my day wondering about chocolate in bread. I like chocolate croissants.... are they bread or are they a different species? Chocolate and cake good, chocolate and bread.... not quite right?
Does this lead towards the classification of all bakery items? Can't a piece of bread aspire to be a piece of cake?
Obviously I need coffee. This may make more sense with coffee.
mmmmmmmmm coffee.....
