BECAUSE TODAY IS the last day of the February break, the kids wanted to 'celebrate' by having High Tea. But not just any High Tea -- High Tea that they would create from scratch all by themselves, and High Tea from 'the really olden days.' So while I went out for a bike ride, the kids (with a bit of help from Kerri, but not too much), created the following menu:- Tea (ok, I probably didn't need to tell you that)
- tea sandwiches which they created and made on their own -- including egg salad, pb&j, cream cheese and capers (what?), smoked beef salami with butter, mayonaise, and bbq sauce (you can imagine how good those were)
- small finger food items: olives, pickles, and the like
- fresh-made scones (delicious) with a rasberry dipping sauce (rasberry jam mixed with some fromage blanc)
Kerri and I were not allowed to come to the Tea until we were dressed appropriately so I put on a suit and Kerri put on a nice dress (why do we do these things for our kids? It's a Sunday afternoon and I'm putting on a suit for a pretend Tea. I mean seriously, who's in charge of the family unit, the parents or the children?) Anyway, after getting properly dressed we sat down to a very formal, very olden days, very high-brow High Tea. And it was lovely.
We partied like it was 1799.

Yum, it sounds great! I miss high tea a lot :)
haha so cute :)
Hopefully they weren't kicking and screaming upon the return to classes today, like nearly half of my students were.
Which reminds me... ONE MONTH until the next one :)
