I woke up to the BBC that the Barack Obama has brought about change to America.
Wow. I have just witnessed history!
I somehow feel as if the whole world was unofficially voting for Obama ( inside, we all know it counts ). It’s been so long since I last felt inspired watching a world leader deliver his piece ( Clinton was great at that ) and I think it’s about time we moved away from the ‘misunderestimations’ and ‘fish co-exisiting with men’ and ‘fooling once or twice and shame on you twice’ to ‘ We are one nation. We are one people and our time for change has come’.
Remember that clip of him in Chicago after he voted, he held up his card and went ‘Well, I voted’. Change has finally come indeed.
Mr President, after a such a long campaign and before you go saving the world, do take a breather and have a japanese tea cake, with green tea custard filling.
Of course, we shouldn’t forget Senator McCain, who is himself, a great character and I am certain he would have made a fine President. So take this cup of sesame mousse dessert as a gesture of goodwill from a humble eater in the city of smoke.
Ok, so that’s my reaction from across the pond, now lets go fix the world.

Its amazing to me how many people outside the US were so closely watching this election! I didn’t see Obama’s speech until this morning and I was so filled with emotion watching him! I really hope that things are going to become better with him as President!

Japane tea cake with tea custard filling! Attached attached attached here
Anything about tea is precious to me 
(Well… umm yes.. it’s a business matter)
Do you have the recipe for this amazing thing? Or should I use my imagination and waste loads of stuff to make it?
—And… Hope Obama will be a brand new hope for the ’silence’ of the world.—

I was shocked that I witnessed history and for once my vote counted! (I voted in 2004 and of course Bush stole the re-election then). As you know, I’m from New York City and Obama won my state in a landslide. That goes to show how much we were rooting for him, in fact he won the entire North East in a landslide.
One of the reasons why the world was watching was because they know Obama is the man who will be willing to work with everybody unlike Bush who refuses to listen to what anybody has to say.

One of the things I adore so very much about your blog is how you are always so upbeat, positive and smiling! Your attitude is just so wonderful! You are the best!

I have high hopes for Obama I’m sure he will be a great President.
Do you have a recipe for the tea cake? I would love to make that.

Banu (BaL)
Yes Kang
I got in touch with Whittard last year; to purchaise bulk tea. However they just give franchising which I’m not looking for 
I’ll do my best to let people meet new/and gourmet tastes of tea in my country, too 
Turks also a ‘tea drinking’ nation but here people mostly prefer Turkish tea. Green tea, or other scented, flavoured teas are rather newly (maybe for the last 8-10 years) drunk, it’s getting popular slowly

By the way yes… I need to visit London for ‘tea’ one day!

welovecoma, thanks for visiting my blog, i love japanese desserts too
Jessie, It really is nice to see a positive response to Obama’s election, it’s historic, i just hope that he surrounds himself with the right people and lead america (and the world) in the right way.
Jo, thanks so much
I guess I just love life and just want to always be positive! I guess that’s what’s most important right? to be happy 
Sam, sorry I bought them at japan centre in leicester square :S dunno how to make ‘em unfortunately it
Banu, I’ve never had turkish tea before!! what does it taste like?
November 8, 2008 at 2:08 pm
We Are Never Full

Kang, Turkish tea hmm may taste a bit like Ceylon tea. Strong taste, bright colour… Goes well with breakfasts, and after a ‘heavy meal’.
