Linderhof


Gardening, Cooking and Decorating on the Prairie of Kansas


Welcome to Linderhof, our 1920's home on the prairie, where there's usually something in the oven, flowers in the garden for tabletops and herbs in the garden for cooking. Where, when company comes, the teapot is always on and there are cookies and cakes to share in the larder.

Let The Good Times Roll!

It's almost the end of the pre-Lenten season.    Ash Wednesday is this week!     We've had a "Mardi Gras" party at church on Sunday -- with some great Cajun appetizers and big bowls of chicken gumbo.        Tomorrow The Lunch Bunch plus one will lunch on red beans and rice and bread pudding.     I made some cookies for a take home favor.     A few extra, for myself, for tea.



The snow stopped mid morning but it was a "winter wonderland" as I took tea this afternoon.    My tea treat?


"Mardi Gras" cookies.     Cutout cookies frosted and sprinkled in Mardi Gras colors and shapes.


Green masks, gold crowns and purple fleur di lis!    


It's Tuesday and I'm sharing my Mardi Gras tea with Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday and with Bernideen for Friend Sharing Tea.

And tomorrow . . . . Let The Good Times Roll!

Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the Tea, Martha. I absolutely love your teapot. What a lovely shape! Hubby would like those cookies. Me, I am craving bread pudding now! Thanks for sharing and joining me for tea today.

Blessings,
Sandi
