Tea Time

"Tea Time Magazine" is put out by Southern Lady magazine/Hoffman Publishers. It's been out now for a couple of years. The issues have gotten better over time. I picked up a copy of the November/December issue last week at The Tea Rose in Olde Town Arvada where I used to work. I really do recommend this issue for those of you who enjoy tea.

I looked through it on Saturday and found many lovely ideas. I'm thinking that I'd like to make a few of the incredible cakes they showed and do a Christmas Open House Dessert Tea. The wheels are turning. I think I'd also like to add Esther Bolick's Orange Marmalade Cake from the Mitford series. Yes, I'm rereading the Mitford series. I do enjoy it so.

I also made Father Tim's Twice Baked Potatoes tonight for dinner from The Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader. Sweetheart complimented me on the potatoes. I told him it was an old family recipe. He asked whose family, so I told him Father Tim's. Not surprisingly, he knew what I meant. What a guy!
