Matcha Yogurt Loaf
I still remember the good old days of my first job.
I'm talking about my first real job. Like in a public location with a boss and dealing with money. I did have a paper route, but I don't think that counts.
Anyways, I was 14. I wasn't even legally allowed to work in Canada, but my boss gave me a form to give my parents to sign. It was basically saying that they allow me to work even though I was underage.
This first job was at a bubble tea place in the mall. The fresh fruit, the pearls, the crepe griddle..I loved it all. Especially the extra bonus that we got free drinks.
On my way to trying every flavor on the menu, I finally made myself a matcha milkshake. It was love at first slurp. After I tried every drink on the menu, I would still go back to that one drink.
So when walking through the aisles of this store by my house and saw some matcha powder, I grabbed it right away. I wanted to float back to those days at my first job.
Sadly, I had no ice cream in my house. So instead of a milkshake, I made a loaf. And I'm glad I did.
I should have thought of buying matcha for St. Patrick's day. Instead I did nothing green that day. Oh well, next year!
