A Tea Room Lunch

The Lunch Bunch

a group of three friends who come to Linderhof monthly for lunch

Except this year

Between doctors visits and procedures

And children and grandchildren

They've not all been to lunch at Linderhof since February!

But in August,

they came!

The table set in the dining room

With my beloved blue and white

Because a Christmas gift from dear friend Carolyn

of white linen placemats and the lovely blue patterned napkins

A menu, of course,

And a package of tea cookies to take home

A nosh to go with that afternoon's tea

A simple centerpiece of black eyed Susans

Low in a crystal rose bowl

Because although I love flowers whenever we dine at Linderhof,

the most important thing is to be able to talk to all the guests!

It's a simple table

There isn't a lot of "fluff"

Over the dining room table and into the living room

It was a tea room lunch

A ladies lunch

The recipes all from the Shady Gables cookbook

Shady Gables chicken salad in a Farmer's Market tomato

A slice of zucchini bread

And a fresh fruit salad

For dessert

Shady Gables famous Ambrosia Tart

Cool luscious goodness

decorated with a maraschino cherry and a rose geranium leaf

It's Thursday and I'm sharing my Tea Room Lunch with Susan at Between Naps On the Porch for Tablescape Thursday
