Would love to sit down with you over a pot of Earl Grey! Must take issue with two points, though. "A pitcher of milk, warmed"? Surely not. The milk should always be cold. And "milk OR sugar, but not both (in UK)." Nearly all of my friends and relatives in or from the UK use both milk AND sugar in their tea.<BR/><BR/>I laughed when I read that you and your friends had tea so many times on your trip -- sounds just like me and my friends! Can't have too many afternoon teas!<BR/><BR/>JeaniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220568104288865795.post-66982523993724085342007-05-21T19:59:00.000-07:002007-05-21T19:59:00.000-07:00Kate - thanks. I loved writing up the story. Our friend in England is in her mid-80's now and doesn't DO computers, so I emailed her son-in-law, asking him to print out the two stories I've written and give them to her. She's only read the first one so far, about the Cold Green Pea Soup, and she cried. She'll cry over this one, too, I expect, especially when she sees her teapot in the group of teapot pictures. I'll have to do another post one day about the different kinds of teas I drink. I have about 4 or 5 that I enjoy more than others, of which Earl Grey is right up there at the top.<BR/><BR/>Yvette - yes, I will do a post sometime soon on tea sandwiches. I have one, that's my very own concoction for curried chicken, but recently I attended a cooking class (yes, yet another one) that was all about afternoon tea (as if I haven't gone to enough afternoon teas, or gone to enough classes on the subject), and I acquired two new sandwich recipes that were really, really good. I'll post those as well. So stay tuned. Only problem is that I'll have to MAKE them in order to photograph them, so it might be a little while . . .Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01437597710964939017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220568104288865795.post-34493827646949188112007-05-21T18:15:00.000-07:002007-05-21T18:15:00.000-07:00Carolyn,<BR/>Can you please share with us<BR/>your receipes for tea sandwiches<BR/>and other tasty treats that we<BR/>can enjoy with our "proper pot of<BR/>tea".<BR/>Yvetteyvettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05253002048113624164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220568104288865795.post-36413870578629283342007-05-21T18:01:00.000-07:002007-05-21T18:01:00.000-07:00What a beautiful story.<BR/><BR/>I love a good cup of tea and have gradually switched over from tea bags to loose leaf, keeping both on hand. Your explanation of making a good pot of tea is wonderful.Katehttp://cooknkate.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
