It was a lovely Sunday afternoon when we gathered at my house to talk and have tea. Nancy brought her lovely and dainty tea set. We sampled civet coffee, strawberry kiwi tea, and spanish-style cocoa (tablea). My sister made cassava cake topped with flan that morning. Nancy took over KP duty to bake blueberry and pumpkin scones, to be drizzled with devonshire cream later. She arranged them on a platter decorated with lacy doilies, together with the madeleines she baked that morning. Then Ronaele's scrumptious strawberries, cantaloupe slices and Bing cherries graced a tier of plates. Nancy and Mama Lourdes couldn't help sampling the cucumber sandwiches they were making. all I did was add the edible mini-flower decor on the slices of sandwiches. Eric thoughtfully brought cocoa puffs from Liliha Bakery. When everyone expected were there, we sat at the table. Jan modeled the raised pinky for Eric to emulate. That started the laughs and the interesting discussion at table.
The afternoon tea party was soooo fun we thought we should have more of them in the future. Mahalo to the few who spent part of their Memorial Day weekend at this event!
