It seems to me that those of us who like to “take tea” also enjoy a good mystery.  I am surprised that no one has yet gotten a half million dollar government grant to research the link between the two but there you go.  It is a strange world in which we live.

 
Welcome to my tea party! First, I would like to thank Jan and Tom’s place for hosting this event.
I thought we would visit on the porch and enjoy the sounds of the birds and maybe catch a little breeze.

 
Where we tend to think of sandwiches now-a-days being monstrosities made of puffed air bread and chemically treated processed meats, they were a completely different item in the not so distant past.
Thinly sliced homemade bread with a layer of butter, topped with cream cheese and pecan, or cucumber and dill graced many a luncheon table.  Back in the days before Biggie sized and Super sized meals tiny sandwiches in fancy shapes were termed “cunning” and “artistic”.  The plates were arranged and the flavors were enjoyed.
