Tea Party Tuesday ~ A Special Tea Party!

A few months back I lost a special patient

of mine to Pulmonary Fibrosis

To see my tribute post click Here

Last Wednesday Sophia and I hosted his wife for lunch

at the "Ooh La La Tea Room" (aka my house).

Since his death we have kept in touch

and it was so wonderful to see her.

She told me many fun stories and

I shared some of my own.

She told me that Joe thought of me as a second daughter.

That made me cry.

It was one of the best days I have had in a

long time and I needed it very much.

I would like to share with you a wonderful

chilled soup that was absolutely delightful!

Strawberry Champagne Chiller

(For a printable recipe click Here)

I have made several chilled soups this

season and this was by far my favorite.

Other items on Le' Menu included:

1. Fruit Medley Pecan Salad with Poppyseed Dressing

2. Pecan Dilled Chicken Salad on Croissants

3. Mint Cream Cheese Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

4. Cherry Blossom Petit Fours

5. Peach Hat Pies (see here for tutorial)

Tea Selection was White Peony

I was in a bit of a rush (what's new) so I didn't
get to style the table photos and the lighting was bad,
but my motto @ blogging is...LIFE before blog..
NOT blog before LIFE.

As always, my Recipes page is full of these
and many, many other fun tea party menu planning ideas!

So...what are YOU bringing to Tea Party Tuesday this week?
