Tea at the Huntington






I had a most marvelous time at the Huntington Tea Room (at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens.) I have been frequenting this fine establishment since I was a 16! The prices have gone up quite bit (its been a long time since I was 16) but the food, it is still delicious! My favorite are the scones and watercress sandwiches. I prefer a bite sized scone instead of a giant biscuit. The watercress sandwich has a bit of horseradish in it so it is quite zesty! The best part about this tea is that it is all you can eat. And afterwards you can walk around and enjoy the gardens. This outing never gets old and I will keep having tea there til I'm old and gray.

Ps: I didn't want to be weird and take a bunch of pictures of the food but I did get a close up of the strawberries and cream! Well now I have an excuse to go back, maybe on a less busy day. So for now I leave you with a rose...

One lump or two?

It is getting into winter and it has been a few months since my best friend and I have gone out for tea...(sigh) Looking at teapots all morning has lifted my spirits and I thought I share with you this charming set...

I do have some cucumbers and cream cheese and some soft white bread, perhaps I will settle myself for a tea for one today.
