Tea - in the literary sense










Check out the Tea Bog-A-Thon ..A great idea, by a lovely hostess!





I don't have many tea themed books, but this little recipe book caught my eye when on vacation in Scotland. The recipes are very typical of the fare one might find when out for tea in the afternoon, or for a meal.

Hi Millie,
I couldn't believe my eyes when I visited your blog and saw this little book! I also have a copy of this, given to me by someone who was in Scotland on holiday, and knew I would appreciate a 'different' kind of cookbook. I can't remember if I have cooked anything from it, but seeing it here has motivated me to dig it out of the bookshelf and have another read!

Looks like a lovely book. I love Scotland and tea in Great Britain just has a wonderful feel about it that is hard to duplicate in the states. Enjoy...

This book should be interesting since most of the tea books I have follow the English tea tradition. See my post - http://oakrisecottage.blogspot.com/2008/01/french-tea-other-tea-themed-books.html

It looks like a dear little book. Do you have a favorite recipe from it? Scones or what types of recipes are offered?

I've got an Irish book to match the Scottish one, and they're both favorites of mine. Both were gifts and I agree with your thoughts about it(them)

Chanterelle Mushrooms - A Breakfast Feast!

Image
Have you ever eaten chanterelle mushrooms? Recently my brother visited, bringing along some freshly picked chanterelles, and while we attended church, he prepared a delectable lunch for us....lovely omelets filled with mushrooms. The chanterelles were lightly sautéed in butter... The egg mixture was prepared...eggs, green onions, parmesan cheese, and a dash of cream.. And then...the finished plate! Bacon was crisp, and the toasted Italian bread was just perfect! I felt truly spoiled!

  Christmas is just around the corner! Just a few photos pertaining to the season. My sister –in-law sews these little napkins…when folded they form a Christmas tree shape, and she has chosen very nice fabric. They go so well with my Gold Chantilly china and a gold pinecone as an accessory. She sells them for only $6.00 for a set of four! Each week I anticipate seeing all the lovely collages at Little Red House . Thanks to Mary.
