Sunday afternoon was spent in the breakfast room
But first, I baked some banana muffins
For a big sack of bananas was just 90 cents at the store
And I needed six
to make this fruit salad
But there were still more than we would eat . . .
And my newest cookbook
from a place that we've visited and loved
The Hays House
in Council Groves
Not all that far from our house on the prairie
And yes, that is right -- it started in 1857!
Had an easy recipe for banana muffins
And they were --
easy and good!
(I did, however, add chopped walnuts to the batter --
I love banana walnut muffins!)
Two found there way on a plate and into the breakfast room
along with a pot of tea
And a pile of cookbooks
For I've company coming to Linderhof in February
(which starts tomorrow!)
And I wanted new things to try!
The Thalias Tasting Tour Recipes date from the 80s and are from Nevada
They are much loved and much used
Savanah Collection is from a trip daughter Sarah and I took to Savannah and is a wonderful book
(I'm eyeing an entree from that book for one of my luncheons)
Virginia Hospitality is a new old book (dating from the 80s) and was recommended by dear friend, Francie. And it is as good as she says!
Sunday afternoon . . .
a pot of tea, a couple of muffins and a whole pile of cookbooks
There isn't a better way to while away a Sunday!

I have wanted to go to Hays House for years, and I made it happen last June when we headed to the Black Hills. We went up to see the Mine Creek Battlefield and then headed west from there...got to Hays about 2 but had wonderful late lunch. I was happy! Ice tea was wonderful.
I love how you speak of your charming home and your recipes and old fashion mindset ! We are kindred spirits! From Cindy at Green Gables Farm !
Is that pot especially made for daffodil bulbs? I've never seen anything like it. BTW, Thanks for sharing Clock Tower Bakery in Overland Park. I visited a friend in Olathe last week and we had afternoon tea. It was yummy!
I love reading cookbooks, Martha! Do you have any good recommendations for tea in Savannah? I am going there in September and also to Charleston.
Martha,
YuMMy!!! Banana walnut muffins, dear friend!!!
I'll be watching for the fruits of your labours from the recipes tucked inside these cookbooks!!!
Fondly,
Pat
