This will be my (SirKarp's) first official event as the WSGA Puget Sound chapter rep, as always NwStinkerbella will there helping out every step of the way. It's 51515151515 today! Which means we need an event! This isn't just any event, is an afternoon tea event!
What exactly is afternoon tea you might ask, the simplest form of afternoon tea is meal of tea, scones and cream. Bring fresh Strawberries for strawberry tea. If you like more sweets with your tea you have a light tea. If you like more savory flavors then you have a full tea, which is more commonly thought of by Americans as Afternoon tea. Which tea are you? If you prefer light tea, bring, some cookies, sweet breads, sweet scones, pound cake or another sweet pastry. If you prefer full tea, bring herbed bread or scones, salmon spread, cheese and crackers, chicken salad, pasta salad or another savory appetizer. Bring enough to share! We'll bring tea, cider, bagels and cream cheese.
