If I recall, water in The Netherlands doesn't always mean H2O.

I don't have a sweet tooth either. there are a lot of things, fast foods and pre-prepared foods that are revolting to me because of the high corn syrup content. that ends up being all I can taste and it is awful!

I was iced in most of the week without any candy, cookies, or cake in sight. Well, I'll take that back -- I had bought a key lime pie to take to a party, but when I didn't need it I stuck it in the freezer. It's still in there. Here's the thing, though. If I DID have stuff like that, I probably would have eaten it just out of boredom. That's why I didn't!

pies, cakes and other sweets tend to get moldy before I finish them, I just don't have the urge to snack on those things. savory stuff on the other hand I go through like crazy, plus cheese!

I was fine with absolutely anything sweet until recently.
In the last year I got an aversion for very creamy things. It didn't reduce my appetite for "dry" sweet things.
Sweets? Palmiers? Almond croissant?
Chalva????
Biscuits?

I fight is every day.
I don't let myself eat all of that or very rarely or on all-inclusive holidays, like the aforementioned resort in Turkey...Mexico or Cuba are better suited me though
It is a daily struggle.

Chalva...

there are exceptions, as you mentioned almond croissants, those are wicked evil invention! a well made almond croissant has such a delicate sweetness that it works and works well. I also think that my mouth likes exploring all of the different textures in it. another weakness is GOOD cherry pie!

OK. Enough is enough.

Second cup of coffee. I'm in no hurry to do anything today.

Sorta.
On chalva that we have in a cupboard downstairs or stollen from Lidl.

Though, Oolong should suffice for now.

As I have mentioned before I was curious about tea from the age of 16, only I never was persistent or lucky or whatever to convert. A couple of days ago I have found a box of Oolong tea that I bought 6 years ago when we had a day trip to London. There is a street with many second hand bookshops that I wanted to visit, then we went to London's version of Chinatown. I liked what they call Chinese tea that they serve in our China buffet restaurant. I asked a waiter to write the name for me. He jogged down its name in English and Chinese. Back then I thought that Chinese tea means green tea...now I know the tea we had was blue tea, oolong that is.
I bought a bag of this tea in a small Chinese shop and since then it was sitting in a cupboard in the kitchen. Dunno whether I am persistent or not but the tea definitely is. It survived house move Best Before 08 Apr 2008
I wanted to throw it to the rubbish bin then realised that it is in a sealed foil bag and like a new (or aged like Pu-Erh)
So, I just opened it and made a cuppa.
I like the taste!
Pity, I have no blooming idea what particular type of oolong it is.
It says: China Fujian Oolong Tea
Sea Dyke Brand.
