An Herbal Tea

I've been doing a lot of "Cooking With Herb" classes

this spring

and so I got out a few of my favorite herb cooking books

to see if I could find some new ideas . . . 

The Country Herb Cooking

I've had "forever"

Bought because I love country cooking books

and

herb cooking books

Because of that book

Country Herb Cooking . . .

which was written by Judy Walter,

the owner of

Pickity Place Herb Farm and restaurant

When we made our first trip to New England,

we had to stop

On a very rainy wet day

So the gardens were observed under and umbrella and from afar

Alas, no tramping in the gardens!

I love it when you finally get to see something

that you've read about!!!

These books made the perfect companion

for afternoon tea

And not only Country Herb Cooking,  but two more from Pickity Place

 and two from

Ravenshill Herb Farm.     

A place I've only read about

Perhaps someday . . . 

It's not near me

but rather closer to Pondside

Tea was special this day

For I had a new teapot  . . .

I also collect this Asian type bird and pink flower pattern

This is Crown Staffordshire Rock Bird

It's a wee pot -- 3 cups

perfect for tea for me

The tea treat today is mint madeleines

Which I got from this book . . . 

which is one of my favorite "herbal" cookbooks!

Tea, mint madeleines and some good reading material.

Tea doesn't get much better than that!

It's Tuesday . . . . and I'm joining . . . .
