I would like to believe that I am both. It certainly depends on the situation and the people I am with.
When the situation requires something that I have good knowledge about, I can be a leader at that moment. But there may be other instances I need guidance from others where I may have to follow.
I have been a tea person my whole life and I still am. But I must say I am in love with coffee too these days. I do not drink a full cup of coffee or make my own coffee. But a few sips from my husband’s coffee cup when he makes his own is the tastiest coffee everπ
I am not sure if it’s the coffee powder or the coffeemaker or the coffee creamer or the way he makes it. But the coffee is very tasty and interesting.
Maybe it is the hazelnut flavor making me drink more coffee!
I prepared this a few times and I believe it’s safe to say this is yummy and did not hurt my tummy π So go ahead and give it a try if you like this recipe.
Do not try this recipe if you are allergic to peanuts! Also, I am not a food expert or nutritionist. I am just sharing my experimental cooking that came out well. Try at your own risk!
