Green Tea Chocolate Muffins

I am swamped with paperwork today. It's not fun. I've done this routine countless times before. But it's never an enjoyable experience; it's always tedious. I am talking about applying for a visa. Since I still have my Filipino passport, even though I am a permanent resident here in the US, whenever we travel abroad I still have to apply for visas (except when I am travelling around South East Asia where there is reciprocity agreement among neighboring countries so no visas are required).

Hubby and I are both away from our respective families. His parents are in England while my family are all in the Philippines. Hence it's normal for us to often travel around the globe so we can visit our families. It is quite expensive to do that but we don't mind as we miss our family and always love to see them. Besides, it's a good excuse to travel to other countries either on the way or while we are in that particular continent.

We've been to the airport several times already so it was familiar to me and I knew I could do a little shopping while there.

It is restaurant chain with headquarters in the UK, serving pan-Asian food (mostly Japanese) in the style of a modern Japanese Ramen bar.

Amazing Green Tea Cake

 

It's March and all the recipes I see so far on the  blogging world are green - could it be be because it's almost spring, or perhaps Lenten season is getting near or it could be the Irish celebration of St. Patrick's Day.... I thought once I see green all over - it's time to experiment and make my Green Tea Cake!

This is my first attempt at making a Green Tea Cake. I have a can of Matcha Green Tea that's been sitting on our cupboard for awhile now and been waiting for me to use it for something, anything.... I thought a Green cake might be nice and so here it is...
