Twice Delighted

Normally I am happy if we make it to Tillamook, Oregon once in a year for tea at LaTeaDa.

Since we were headed for a weekend at the beach

my live-in gardener thought we should have tea in Tillamook

one more time this year.

As you can see it was a quiet day, but they were already

for the holiday coming next month.

A peaceful sip of English Breakfast did the trick on a cold, icy afternoon.

Then to cleanse the palate there was mango sorbet.

The tea tier full of food is always delicious here.

It looks like even the pitcher of water in the gurgling fish concurs.

There was the usual egg salad, tomato with cheese and basil,

but my favorite still remains that sticky sausage roll.

There was a delicious pumpkin bread with pear and white cheddar,

an artichoke tart, and the stacked sandwich was perfect for the holiday

season with turkey, cucumber, and cranberry sauce.

Scones are not shown here, but always a delight.

The sweets were a pumpkin roll, rhubarb crisp, cookie, and mint brownie.

There always is a box to take some away to delight later in the day.

Then just for fun, they tempt you with pies to go.

No pie this day for me, but just to pretty not to share.

Just viewing them here makes me start thinking of pies yet to make for Thanksgiving.

Are you ready for preparations for the big day next week?

For those of you in Canada, you have already celebrated.

Are there similar celebrations in other countries?
