Well that was the silliest tea party I ever went to! I’m never going back there again!"

Quote from Louis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland).  This quote keeps popping into my head whenever I think of the afternoon tea party I had with my sisters and mom.  It is, of course, entirely inaccurate and I would go “back there again” right now!

My cute sister, Chery, was incredibly lucky and went to BYU London study abroad this summer.  I missed her terribly and when she came home she indoctrinated us in the customs and the food (especially the Cadbury chocolate – I am drooling right now) of Jolly Ol’ England.  We had an afternoon tea party with my other cute sister, Celsea, and my Mom.

On the table: cucumber sandwiches, cheddar scones, and sticky toffee pudding (I learned that in England pudding is cake).  It was all very yummy!  I know, we are maybe a little old for dress up tea parties but to be honest I never had a tea party with my sisters growing up because I am so much older them!  Here we are, enjoying our “tea” (aka lemon aid).  Really, we mostly enjoyed the sticky toffee pudding – it was sooo yummy.  I am sorry I don’t have the link to share the recipe with you!

We listened to the sound track from “Pride and Prejudice.”  What else would you listen to for a little background music during an elegant English tea party?  Now Chery is gone again, though not so far this time - she is back at BYU in Provo.  More than likely, Celsea will be joining her at BYU next year.  Good for both of them but way too sad for me!
