Football and Afternoon Tea
~*~
Recently, it was C-O-L-D and raining outside ...
My Girl... So what were WE going to do today Mom?
Me... Well we could watch football with them?
My Girl... Naaah, I'm bored of that.
Me... Hmmm, well it's lunch time, how about we have Mini Afternoon Tea?
My Girl... We're going out to tea?
Me... No, I'm making it.
My Girl... That's better!
I had recently made another turkey dinner, so I used up the last of it for tea sandwiches and they were scrumptious!
My "Cream" is a mixture of heavy cream, Mascarpone cheese, a little sugar and vanilla extract. Mmmm - Delicious!
Cream Scones
Lemon Curd and Strawberry Jam
Me... Well honey, was this better than football?
My Girl... Absolutely better!

Heard from the Boys watching football... Are there any leftovers?

I agree....any leftovers? haha
How fun...I wish I had a girl to play teaparty with!
Love, Love, Love this post.
I found out, much to my surprise that little boys like tea parties, too. (like 7 and under little boys, that is.)
You have such a beautiful family!

Everything looks really tasty. I guess guys do like tea parties too. I haven't tried the Trader's Lemon curd, but will for my next tea party. Thanks so much for sharing. Mumzie :)
Mmmmm, those scones with cream and lemon curd! Heavenly! I bet you and your daughter loved it.
This looks divine. Wow! you had a fabulous looking tea. I will be going to High Tea next week and I am so excited about it. My staff gave it to me for my Christmas gift. I will take pictures and write a post on it. Yours looks delicious! I always feel like you have so much fun. Sorry you are so far away!!!
Scones and hot tea! YUM! That's heavenly. We've been drinking a lot of hot tea this winter. Brrr! :)
Lovely! Perfect thing to do when there's a game on the TV! Send leftovers please!
A special time for both of you!
My boys liked having tea -- they always did. One of them, grown into a man, drinks tea every night with a treat before bed.
Tea time sounds much better to me than any football game! Our boys are always ready to wipe out the leftovers too, although they would NEVER want to sit down to tea with us!
What a fun time and what yummy treats to share with your lovely daughter! (And your tea strainer is completely gorgeous as well!)
You are such a great Mom. Your aughter is going to remember these special times with you forever.
It might be time for another virtual tea-party, Janeen, don't you think? You should host it, since you are such an afficionada.
We need to watch the calories on that cream, don't we? Hey—a little coffee, and a few sponge fingers and you'd have my favourite dessert: Tiramisu!
Forget to say that those are two handsome fellas in the camo!
I think chili, chips and dip go good with football.
Teas parties are so fun! Your cup and saucer are beautiful! It sounds like a special time for your girl and you. And the guys look like they're having fun, too : )
A wonderful compromise, Janeen! The men are enjoying their time together while the ladies are enjoying theirs. And do you know how to make your time together special! Always! xo
I'm just catching up on my reading - you have the most lovely tea service, and especially the strainer!
Oh..now, there's absolutely no contest in my book. Tea wins out all the time!...I so love the strainer and teacups:)
Have you ever used cream cheese for your mock clotted cream? It's really good, too...Ah..this is making me so hungry...
