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.

Breakfast With "The President"

Well, not the current President
nor even a recent past President
But rather a long ago president . . .


Theodore Roosevelt

An actor portraying President Roosevelt performed at our annual
Friends Fest on Tuesday evening
I invited him to breakfast on Wednesday morning before he headed out of town

An early breakfast
8 a.m.
had me up at the crack of dawn . . . 


The table set the night before
Lace tablecloth


The Spode Blue Room, Jim's grandmother's cutlery, small German wine glasses for juice
and damask napkins in silver rings, of course!


Always a menu
A caricature of Teddy
and his place card


Orange alstromeria in a silver bowl

A typical breakfast menu 

Bacon


Rosemary roasted potatoes


Scrambled eggs with onions, peppers, mushrooms and cheese


Classic cinnamon streusel coffee cake


 All served family style


"Teddy" regaled us with stories
And there was much laughter around the table!

And then everyone left


But the table shows a good time was had by all!
(And I wished that I had the staff that Teddy had to clean up!)


But before he left . . . picture taking!

Thank you, Joe
You were great!

If you need a program for any event, check out
Or if you just want to visit with a President
it also tells you where Teddy will make his appearances!

What a delightful breakfast that surely was, to say nothing of the event the night before! Wonderful breakfast menu, too!
