My daughter and I have been going to The Tea Room since she was a little tyke. It's our own special place whenever we need our girl time. With four boys in the house, we definitely need it!
The Tea Room has a beautiful collection of teas from around the world.
Our scrumptious lunch began with savory, yummy tomato soup! It was so delicious, I made some today. Definitely a keeper!
Almond Encrusted Chicken Salad with Strawberries & Mandarin Orange slices
Pan Seared Tuna Caesar Salad was a delight.
Dainty sweets afterwards. Delicious.

I better savor these days with my girl...because it won't be too long and she will be off to college. (It's making me tear up just thinking about it.)
Kay, how lovely. And you have a beautiful young lady there that calls you "mom".
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely daughter and what a fun experience! I've always loved visiting tea rooms. My favorite is to search out the best chicken salad recipe. It seems that every tea room has their own unique version of the yummy dish. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tea room! And your daughter is BEAUTIFUL! :)
ReplyDeletewhat a delightful gal! i've always wanted to have a true tea--it may be the only thing in the world that'd make me feel like a real lady! :)

ReplyDeleteI truly love this post. The Tea Room is most definitely NOT a boy's place...I need to find a place like that for my girls and me...we need a "just for us" place and make it a tradition to go there this year! OH!! I just thought...it can go on my list of really cool things to do this year!! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteAnd...you are right...treasure each moment...they are precious.
Dear Kay, Just found you on LifeAsALofthouse. I relate to having tea with daughters. Mine loved tea parties so much that they made one for my 47th birthday. Do savor the time with your beautiful girl, she will be off to conquer the world soon. blessings on your new year!

ReplyDeleteOh Kay! Your daughter is breathtakingly beautiful. I love her freckles (especially since I myself have many =).
ReplyDeleteThese mother daughter experiences are so precious! This lunch looks fantastic. I like how the pan-seared tuna was encrusted with almonds.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter, by the way, is stunning!
Your tea sounds lovely and with such a lovely daughter! I have three and they are precious...my oldest will be 14 this year ...they do grow up so fast!
