Tea on the Patio

Sadly there is no photo to document this, but Librarian M stopped by Sunday afternoon, bringing a beautiful painted egg for the holiday and a box of Taylor's of Harrogate Scottish Breakfast Tea. We sat on the patio, drinking Tazo Awake and eating thick pumpkin cookies with tiny chocolate chips--delicious! The weather is now perfect for eating outside.

Prince of Wales tea

Today we are serving Twining's Prince of Wales tea in the parlor. It is a smooth and very mild tea; so mild, in fact, that we couldn't steep it enough to make it more to our taste.

Irish Breakfast

A belated St. Patrick's Day celebration: Adagio Irish Breakfast tea served with raisin challah French toast, with a new bird-decorated tea cup in honor of The Mossy Nest.

Earl Gray Bravo

Today we are serving Van's multigrain waffles and Morningstar Farms tofu bacon in the parlor with Adagio Earl Gray Bravo.

Tea and Toast

While playing hooky (well, not really--since we in the parlor worked last Saturday, we took this Friday afternoon off while the computer network at work was unplugged and reconnected to a new system), that traditional combination of tea and toast is lovely, especially when enjoyed while reading a book outside on a beautiful spring afternoon. Cinnamon raisin toast may be the cosiest of comfort foods.
