Tuesday Tea time Apr 8, 2014

We are home from the desert! Although our snow banks here are still very large, it is good to be home. I missed seeing all your blogs (no internet at the house we rented)

We saw some nice strawberries when shopping for groceries today, so I made some filled cream puffs for our tea .

The strawberries included with the filling use an unusual ingredient…pepper! I wasn’t sure I would like it, but it adds a certain depth to the flavour.

Welcome home Millie. We've still got a fair bit of snow in our part of Ontario but it's starting to warm up outside.
I think pepper might be a surprisingly pleasant addition to recipes. A friend made scones that had pepper in one time and they were delicious.
Happy Spring.

Welcome home, Millie! You've been missed! It still looks like March here but Spring is in the air at last. Your cream puffs and strawberries look amazing. I would imagine a wee bit of pepper would add some interest. Yum! So happy you were able to join me for tea this week. Have a beautiful day.

Blessings,
Sandi

Glad you enjoyed the desert and the cactus. The strawberry and puff pastry look delicious. The fresh strawberries were hard here all winter so I didn't buy any. The watermelon has been delicious so that has been our sweet fruit this winter and now spring. Your tea table is so appealing. Have a great week!

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
