Friday 1
June
Though
Donald was not feeling well enough to participate, Jean Wellington and a few
helpful grad students forged ahead and put on her much-anticipated yearly Cream Tea.
This time
the crustless tea sandwiches included salmon and pesto creamcheese and
prosciutto with provolone as well as the classic cucumber and butter. There were scones with and without raisins, plus the whipped
cream to dip them in; apricot, raspberry and lemon-jam-filled tarts; brownies;
banana bread; chocolate-frosted bûche de Noël; tipsy trifle; fresh strawberries;
cashews and chocolate candies; and various poundcakes, including a tasty
cinnamon. Oh, and tea and lemonade.
Once
again we scoffed enough to skip dinner, though at around 9 PM, we felt like
having one more scone, slightly warmed, with butter and marmalade. So thanks Jean, and Donald, feel better
soon!
