A Tea Room Lunch

Lunch in a tea room with proper manners was a rite of growing up. I treasure those memories first with my mother and aunt and then with teenage friends. And although there are tea rooms today, they aren't the same as those tea rooms were.

So last week for the Lunch Bunch Lunch, I recreated the atmosphere of a ladies tea room. A pristine white cloth and white napkins (although I did use my silver napkin rings).
A table for four for this luncheon.
A properly laid place with plate, cutlery and a small menu. The Linderhof Tea Room Lunch menu told what we were having. Alas, no choices like a real tea room. But it WAS real tea room food!

Always a small vase of fresh flowers in the middle of the table -- these from my garden.

The menu was typical tea room -- gingered carrot soup, a quiche, a corn muffin and a decadant dessert -- 4 layer chocolate cake. And coffee served from a silver pot.

It's Thursday -- that means that it's time to visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch to see what other tables have been set today! My favorite day of the week.
