delicious. The best turkey our group of friends have cooked up in quite awhile.  It was the first year that we wrapped the turkey in its own tinfoil sleeping bag for the majority of its time spent in the oven.  We then zipped off the top and cranked up the heat and began to baste. [...]


 
So we got a new shipment of this super delicious matcha in and I have been wanting to put it in and on everything that I eat or drink.  This is the latest idea and it turned out pretty good.  It would also be really good rolled in chopped nuts.
