Dreaming of baking: matcha spelt rolls

I can't bake, but I can still look. Also, working out takes lots of energy and I don't have the urge to bake anymore... especially since I almost burned down my aunt's house when I tried to in California.

Not just regular breakfast rolls, but matcha spelt rolls with bittersweet chocolate filling and almond icing.

The employees at the healthy grocery stores are confused about matcha when I ask for it. It's just green tea powder. Thankfully the new teahouse in Asheville, Dobra, has it for sale. It's kind of expensive (~$15). They also had them at Whole Foods in California but not here.

As I grow up...

Green has become my favorite color. Gold used to scare me (as tacky), but I like it now. I may like it more than silver even...

Why did I buy SPICY PB?

I once encountered a jar of The Heat is On peanut butter while at the beach last summer. I didn't buy it because spicy peanut butter is weird, but I bought it when I spotted it at Bristol Farms in Newport Beach. It's way too spicy to just eat by itself. Thankfully, I found a recipe on the Peanut Butter & Company website for soba noodles. I'll use shirataki noodles instead.
