Tea with our local Matuska and lovely ladies

After a Lenten hiatus we had another

tea and stitch with our local Matuska,

where we enjoy tea, goodies, knitting and conversation.

I hosted it again this time

and had such fun getting it all together! 

For the savory part of the tea,

I made the chicken salad that I just love,

recipe here.

I put out Trader Joe's chocolates,

Butter Cookies we had in a lovely tin, 

three pots of tea

(a citrus black from Paris done by Russians, 

a herbal tea, Simplici-Tea from St. Elizabeth's Skete,

and my Christmas Chai.)

Lovely ButterHorn pastries were brought 

by our Matuska, some no bake chocolate cheesecake

bars were delicious but I failed to photograph them... 

And the raspberry lemon cake made it's first

appearance!

It was a very enjoyable time!!! 

I am so thankful for the community that I am

finding here and each person is a delight to me

and a joy to host. 

We are hoping to do more teas in mid-to late summer!
