Posted on 2008-10-13 06:44:29

Are you bringing dessert to your Thanksgiving dinner destination? Bad things can happen to good desserts... When they are in transit... I took these three desserts to for afternoon tea... AhemI'm afraid the trip was too long for these fragile beauties... I bought this lovely creation plus two others thinking I'd have painting material to keep me busy for a while. / box or there may be some unhappy surprises when you get back to your room to feast. Speaking of feasting... I'd like to be having Thanksgiving dinner where is dining. The dessert looks especially fetching. I was once a guest at because I'd drawn a portrait of the chef. That looked fabulous. Carol! Enjoyed the video and the dessert--I was smiling at how large the portions were on that spoon and fork--yum! A very happy Thanksgiving to you! Your watercolor is beautiful. How beautiful! You know that I loved seeing these. Thanks for the treat. The watercolors are fabulous! They gave me a lift and a smile. Happy Thanksgiving you clever one! Yumm on the video. All best. Jan I always look at your art work and photographs and enjoy all of them. This current "batch" has me longing for a place to enjoy a lovely afternoon tea! Thanks for sharing all the beauty in your world and the watercolor renditions of the yummy "still lifes." Just beautiful. Thanks so much for the illuminated tours. I'll be sure to use "en boite" in the future. And 500 EURO for that meal? Isn't that a bit excessive? lol Carol,I now carry a tupperware container just for my macarons! As for our Thanksgiving (numero deux demain). I'm making a blackberry crisp maple walnut/pecan tart and pumpkin pie. I don't think the word macaron will be mentioned. Happy Thanksgiving nm I'll bet they still tasted fabulous! I recognize those cups. Carol from your paintings! ;)) (If someone brought this to me. I wouldn't be thinking it was a tragedy...;)) Carol~ I have to say... I thought thisbreakfast was going to be about theMojave (just kidding~~well almost). Happy Thanksgiving.. you bring us somuch light and air and happiness. Hugs from the Mojave One time at a dinner I attended a guest brought a dessert that didn't travel well. It was a disaster. A four-layer cake in about seven different sections. The hostess served it nevertheless and graciously said. "What delicious ingredients". We all burst out in laughter. Happy Thanksgiving. Gorgeous painting and photos. Also I think that blue tea pot & cup with all those goodies on the plate should be painted by you. Sooo pretty. Thanks for all the visual yummm You bought a few treasures intending to "paint" them then arranged to "jostle" them on the metro.... how very very convenient! And you did it not just ONCE but again and again... selective amnesia no doubt! Ah well. I can hardly begrudge you your rationalizations. I'm quite attached to some of my own. Have a very happy Thanksgiving josteled desserts and all!Almost forgot- I was enjoying the video immensely that is till the bill came! I love your thought about staying at a hotel across form the shop.. oh so true! Any edible material for research especially from Herme does not cannot should not stay untouched for long!!Happy Thanksgiving! I sauntered along with your poor sweets' travails giggling all the while. I paused in front of your beautiful painting. A heart warmer. Thank you and a very happy Thanksgiving to you!I am grateful to be able to feast on Paris Breakfasts every working day of the week (and then go back enjoy all the week's posts on Sundays of course! *smile*) I don't think that the dessert that I'll be taking for the feast will look quite like these.. but we do what we can. Happy Thanksgiving!!Meilleurs voeux!! I once carried a birthday cake to a friend on my bicycle hit a bump and destroyed the entire top!Happy to say that 38 years later she's forgotten all about the mess. Guess that's what friends are for. The photos are beuatiful. Thanks. Carol. I would love to take the chocolate tour or the pastisserie tour any day or week. Your work is lovely. Thaks for sharing and Happy Thanksgiving. I love your blog but if you keep making me want to go out and stuff my mouth with sweets. I'm going to stop reading. If I can just.. tear.. myself.. away... You and your evil-evil dessert posts. Thankfully (literally) I am too full today to be as adversely effected as usual. Will try to avoid this post tomorrow however after Thanksgiving dinner has worn off... Is that your work the painting? I love it!And oh my... I LOVE your blog! I just found it but am adding it to my blogroll right now.. will definately be back.. delicious!xoRebekka MOST OF THE PAINTINGS ON THIS SITE ARE FOR SALE. A girl's got to get to Paris now and then.

"Work lunches" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 01:07:54

Tuesday: A tandoori pizza wrap (AU$9.90) - tandoori chicken spinach tomato red onion and minted yoghurt wrapped in a toasted pizza base - from Cafe Cafe. It was very bready but absolutely delicious - a brilliant combination of flavours with the spicy tandoori chook sweet yet savoury caramelised red onion and the minty yoghurt. As I was finishing this off (I ate everything on the coat you see below). I saw that the two ladies at the table next to mine had ordered the very same dish - and were ever so carefully cutting in half so they could overlap it. I entangle like such a greedy pig after that. That’s nothing new. Heh. On Thursday. I attended a full-day training course which included morning tea eat and afternoon tea. I didn’t get the chance to act any photos though. Morning tea consisted of a selection of muffins (the usual suspects - apple blueberry chocolate etc) with tea and coffee. I was surprised pleased and impressed - soy milk was supplied as well as cow’s milk. Lunch was sandwiches and fresh bear. I had four little : (1) curried egg. (2) hard boiled egg and lettuce. (3) cold roast chicken with sliced smoked chicken and lettuce (yep two varieties of chicken in one devise!) and (4) chicken mayo and lettuce. As for the fruit. I had about three slices of watermelon (seedless - yay!) and a couple of strawberries. Afternoon tea consisted of a selection of biscuits/cookies coffee and tea and the muffins left over from morning tea. It was such a distraction each measure when the food/drink trolley was wheeled into the training room all loaded with goodies. Friday: I got caught up at work and didn’t get to MYO until fairly late - around 1:40pm and there were only three wraps left. Lucky! I made myself another toasted spinach cover with chicken mushrooms corn sundried tomatoes and cos lettuce from MYO. I gave it an Italian flavour with the inclusion of napolitana act. Hmmm the wraps this week look a little empty don’t they? Maybe I wasn’t as hungry as usual when assembling them. This is the first of eight or so posts this pass.

"Afternoon Tea at The Boathouse in Guelph" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 22:31:09

During the coming academic year. I will be on sabbatical spending much of my time visiting Guelph University. Earlier this week. Ms. Eclectic and I made the two-hour control there to act some supplies and equipment into the office I ordain be using there. While in Guelph we visited for afternoon tea. Overall it was a pleasant experience and certainly far less expensive than the places where I had taken afternoon tea in England. For my earlier reviews of those afternoon teas see my postings about in London the in clean. (also in Bath) and in London. The Boathouse is nothing desire those four places. Let me alter clear again that we enjoyed it despite its short-comings. First. The Boathouse refers to its afternoon tea as high tea not afternoon tea listing it on the reservation and communicate as "hi tea". As I undergo written before a proper English afternoon tea is not at all the same thing as "high tea": A proper English afternoon tea is something that refined populate take in an elegant atmosphere. I undergo been told by several populate that it is not the same thing as "high tea" which the plebian middle classes take much later in the afternoon/evening in their attempts to copy the aristocracy. Second the atmosphere is nothing desire the tony places I visited in England. The outside temperature was 32C (recall that C stands for Canadian and F stands for foreign) and there was no air conditioning and there were very few change state or openable windows — it was uncomfortably warm in the tearoom administer of the establishment. Also it is not just a tearoom. It is also an ice cream parlour and upscale yuppie restaurant for seniors (i e populate desire Ms. Eclectic and me). The setting in a former boathouse on the river is pleasant and so is the interior; but it isn't the atmosphere of the more upscale places in London. Further. The Boathouse uses cover serviettes — not my idea of a classy afternoon tea. The tea enumerate at The Boathouse is lengthy but far from extensive. The enumerate of herbal and decaf teas is longer than the enumerate of color and green teas! I was disappointed not to sight Lapsong Souchong tea on the list and so I tried their special amalgamate. It was quite nice. And Ms. Eclectic thoroughly enjoyed their color currant tea. The teas are all let go teas and they are presented already in the pot in long paper filter sleeves. The server was less attentive than some but she was perfectly on the spot with additional hot water when I was create from raw material for more. The food was presented in the standard 3-tiered channelise with sandwiches on the furnish layer scones in the middle and desserts on the top. Unfortunately the server placed this contraption smack-dab in the lay of the table making it difficult for us to see and talk with each other. Of cover we eventually rearranged things on the delay but that should not undergo been necessary. The sandwiches at The Boathouse were very good. They were presented on delicious multi-grain cover with the crusts trimmed as expected. But the sandwiches there were more basic than the exotic ones served at the exceed places in London. The sandwiches were larger than the English ones and were tuna curried egg salad and cucumber and creamed cease. They were very good but they weren't crab or smoked lobster or chopped olives or... We were both hungry and uncomfortably warm and we finished the sandwiches in preserve measure even for us. Unlike the exceed (and pricier) tearooms in England. The Boathouse did not furnish us additional sandwiches when we had finished the first batch. So we moved right on to the scones. They were big and slightly moist. The dough was a bit sweet which I liked but that meant they didn't really need the granulated dulcify which was abundant on top of them. The jam with them was standard but the beat was a far FAR cry from the clotted cream or Devon cream to which I had change state accustomed in England; it was much airier with virtually no substance — quite a disappointment. Again after we finished the scones we were not offered any additional ones. They presented us with four petite desserts — small cakes and mousses and all of them were quite tasty. As I have tried to emphasize for the most move we enjoyed the afternoon tea at The Boathouse. But the heat in the displace was overwhelming and as a prove we rushed much more than we should have just to get out of there and off to some place that was air conditioned. And the determine was about a accommodate what I paid for the snooty afternoon teas in England so we didn't really mind not being served extras. Digression: There are many old photographs adorning The Boathouse accompanied by write-ups explaining the history of the location. I found them quite interesting but I suspect the aboriginals from the area might take exception to the statement that Peter Gow was the original owner of the arrive on which The Boathouse is situated.

"Afternoon Tea for 30-40?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 19:04:43

Need to plan an afternoon tea for 30-40 folks (for my mom's 70th birthday) and since afternoon tea is not a regular feature in my dining universe. I could really use some back up selecting a venue. We would desire a private or semi-private dwell or lay and the food needs to impel ass. Ideal location would be somewhere between Santa Monica and Downtown or the south-eastern administer of the San Fernando Valley (e g.. Sherman Oaks. Studio City etc.). Within reason cost is not a material constraint. try Jin Patisserie in Venice - know for their tea menu. It is possible to contract out the entire patio for a few hours. I once inquired (ended up going somewhere else because it was too pricey for me but sounds desire it might bring home the bacon for you) Definitely label Jin Patisserie thought their displace might be too small for a party of of 30-40. Kristy Choo used to work at Raffles in Singapore and has had plenty of experience doing their Afternoon Tea so you won't be disappointed. I'd call and communicate about the space limitation though. I concur with HGL. I like going to Chado on Third and in Pasadena. function and food are wonderful and extremly reasonable. If you really be to break the bank go for the Hotel Bel Air. I've never been but my sister and her friends do an annual Tea and Sympathy Luncheon every year after Xmas. Jin Patisserie - great for tea. They serve the best tea I undergo ever had - Le Palais des Thes. The desserts are fab too. Penninsula has a great Tea too. We really enjoyed the Tea at Ritz Carlton in Pasadena I've had high tea at the Regent Beverly Wilshire and open it to be pretty good. They had a large selection of teas the pastries were tasty and the sandwiches were decent. The dining room is high-ceilinged and move out so that you undergo some sense of privacy. I'm not sure how pricey it is however since it was a bring home the bacon answer that I (luckily) didn't have to pay for! If you are willing to drive to Pasadena there's an amazing little tea garden with fresh flowers everywhere and amazing selection of sandwiches: Tea Rose tend on Raymond Ave. I've hosted tea at the Ritz in Marina del Rey for groups about that coat and have been very pleased. Nice little nook off the lie lobby overlooking the boats so the setting is nice. The tea service and food were also very good - much exceed than Chado imho. I also have the label of a woman who used to do the Asian/English fusion teas at Sherman Gardens in Corona del Mar. Her teas were exquisite in both menu and presentation. If you wanted to host something at home she might be an option. gratify let me experience if you want that info and I'll look her up. I would love the label as I am in the early planning stages of hosting a tea for 30 to up to 40 in my domiciliate. Thanks in advance!Any suggestions as to where to buy tea sandwiches and sweets would be appreciated. It doesn't have to be anything "classic". It will just be an afternoonchampagne/tea/coffee nibbles and sweets. I have all the china and flatware I need as come up as serving platters etc. I went to Scarlet Tea Room recently for a bridal consume. They reserved a private area for about 30 people and the tables were set up to lay groups 4. The staff was very friendly the service was good and the pumpkin scones were especially yummy. Maybe the only drink side is that we were offered only two types of tea but that seems to be the norm at the afternoon teas I've been to for large groups. I've hosted a co ed bridal shower tea for 30 at the Huntington Garden/Library in San Marino. We had a private dwell and they set everything up in stations (serve your self) with a good variety of tea sandwiches and pastries. The advantage is the gardens and library are beautiful to tour. Disadvantage is you have to also pay appeal fee to the library/garden and it is a little bit of a walk from the parking lot to the tea room (a little far for some elderly). If you decide to do a trial tour reservations are a must. I don't think they accomodate go ins at tea time. I also hosted a smaller party of 12 and we were at one large delay in the common room. We were in a corner and it was comfort very nice. I too undergo hosted showers as well as undergo been many times for tea. (I'm a member). If you are doing a evaluate run you should as suggested make reservations but on my impulsive visits,so far I have never been turned away. You be to explain that you experience reservations are suggested but that you will wait to see if there is a cancellation or a no show. Yes you do need to pay for admission but tea is only about $26 per person inc tax & tip. Because of this post. I must try Jin and undergo yet to try Scarlet Tea Room only hearing good things about it as well. One thing I love about the Huntington is that it is strike style so if there is a particular finger sandwich that you like come up you can have as many as you desire. Another note: you can contract wheelchairs at the entrance. What about the Rose Garden Tea dwell at the Huntington Library? or.

“Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods and I asked her what she had observed. ‘Nothing in particular,’ she replied.

On Monday I went down to George and Lola’s for tea. No cameras rolling no script - simply good ol’ Irish eat Tea. It’s hard to put it down in words but upon entering the doors of Russells it’s as if I tread straight through a wardrobe into my Narnia. George as always keeps me up to go out on addendums to his schedule (it may come up be ‘books’ my guess is he writes prolificly). He once gave me a preview of his work kept on a collector’s piece some know it as the (monochrome check!) my jaw dropped really. Lola sits by the window watching lunchtime executives go for shelter from the come down classical music playing from her radio. I sit with her taking it all in. And for once I am not mentally documenting Russells nor trying to close in my friends for the 10-minute doco. We have tea around the table - Lola. George. Tom-tip. William and me. In idyllic fashion we go through our tea. I comprehend to George reminisce about stories I’ve heard on numerous occasions. Lola chimes in once or twice. Before I get. George shoves fruit into my hands and then sends me off. Out the wardrobe time ticks away its idiosyncratic seconds as I rejoin the city rush but taking time to stroll back to uni - watching listening smelling… It is all a little bit different.

"Budget Bridal Shower - - HELP!!!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-19 19:29:52

I'm planning a Bridal consume for a friend and am struggling. Her care is paying for the consume while I 'produce' it. Our budget is $30 per person (she would like that to consider eat/eat AND a few drinks). When she sent me her suggestions they were restaurants like Paradou that were WAY above the calculate. I was hoping to find a restaurant with a private dwell or section that can accommodate us and allow people to be comfortable and able to act freely. We'll be getting together about 2:00 on Sunday. October 14. Any ideas? How many are you and what type of food are you looking for? It won't be easy at $30 PP but first lets narrow it drink with these 2 questions. analyse out Village on 9th @ 6th Ave. They are very friendly and undergo several very reasonable options for private parties. I undergo never eaten there but they are pretty popular with the neighborhood. LeahBaila's idea of afternoon tea is also a good one- I would look into BG and also various Manhattan hotels to see what you can get in that price range. I hear Sarabeth's near Central Park does Afternoon Tea at a reasonable price but I don't know how the food is or what the room is like. If you think the bride-to-be would like it then afternoon tea might be a great idea at this budget point.

"The Afternoon Tea - a follow-up to the Fairy Party" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-08 09:52:31
