Today Jackie hosted afternoon tea. Her menu featured the flavors of fall. We were reminiscing that she has hosted many fall gatherings over the years and we always leave wanting one of her recipes.
The Autumnal Tea Menu:
~Cucumber sandwiches
~Pasta salad with feta, capers and tomatoes
~Strawberries with pumpkin cream cheese spread
~Ginger snaps
~Lemon poppy seed scones
~Pumpkin bread
~Pumpkin tea
~Early gray tea (Mad Hatter vintage)

The table was set with her grandmother's china and real silver with deep purple napkins.
Take a seat; there's a lot to eat!
Jackie had beautiful sunflowers on the table, which she gave to Emma for her birthday. Also in honor of Emma's birthday, and her favorite garden creature, I made hedgehog rice crispy bars to surprise her. During the tea party conversation a new term was introduced by Kimmy for Emma to use in many a situation: hedge hogging around (uh oh Barry!)
