Title: kitkatz and okarol - we did it again
Post by: okarol on March 26, 2009, 11:03:08 PM
We are so lucky to live close to each other. Kitkatz and her mom Betty had planned to go to the Huntington Library and I tagged along. It was a beautiful day and everything worked out perfectly. We got in early before many people showed up. We visited the art gallery in the mansion and took some great photos all over the gardens. It was sunny and warm and everything was blooming.  The tea room let us in without a reservation (we were very lucky that Betty was willing to knock on the door and ask!) Tea was wonderful, I ate too much. Here are some photos.

Team scones, butter, clotted cream, jam on the table, then all you could eat tea sandwiches, desserts, fruit, humus, cheeses, crackers, and salads.  I ate way too much!

Three kinds of scones: Apple/cinnamon, Chocolate Chip and Rosemary/buleberry, with cream and butter and jam, of course. Tea sandwiches: Curry chicken, cucumber and mint, spicy egg salad, another I can't remember. There were salads, fruit tartlets, lemon bars, chocolate mousse cups, banana bread, strawberries, melon, pineapple, watermelon. There was hummus and crackers and pita bread. Also caviar.

Is that a cardinal in the second photo in the window in the upper right pane? I see something red that sort of lookes like a bird. Haven't seen a cardinal in a long time here.

I think you are seeing the oranges in the tree. We don't have cardinals here.

I am still adding more photos.

those aren't peaches in the photos?

your beginning table has soft serve ice cream and choc syrup ?

it looks healthy and fruity  - the buffet

where are the grits?  what no hot sauce and chips ?

how much did it cost per person ?

here Kitty, kitty  --- please tell me that is not you eating caviar
                           isn't it salted raw fish eggs ?
                           Texas caviar has black eyed peas and jalapenos and it is cheap

Yes it was salty fish eggs and tasted like it.

 
The table had butter, clotted cream and jam on it. The scones were yummy!
