The simple pleasures of home shine brighter
when the spirit of God intertwines our hearts
with His gentle Joy.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon.

What's On The Menu? 7


Lazy Sunday afternoon for me On Crooked Creek. "Mr. Ed" is off to a local horseshoe pitching tournament. . . Maurice is cat napping on the lower level. A perfect combination for a pampering tea time.

Menu:

Fresh Strawberries & Fresh Raspberries
Mixed Berry Yogurt
Strawberry Muffin
Freshly Brewed Raspberry Tea

Morning coffee is black, full bodied, robust brewed ~
                                                 but afternoon is Tea Time On Crooked Creek!


Using my Tea Drop Hot Tea Maker, I begin with a clean tea pot, cold water and 1/8 cup of Lipton's Loose Leaf Tea, divided equally into the basket.



Add 1/8 cup loose leaf Raspberry Tea, divided equally into the basket. Place atop the Lipton Tea.

Apricot Tea, Raspberry Tea and Creme Brulee Coffee.




Finish with 1 teaspoon of sugar to enhance the flavor or the raspberries!




In 3 to 5 minutes, freshly brewed hot Raspberry Tea!



Raspberry Tea served up fresh with a hot from the oven  Strawberry Muffin.


A lazy Sunday afternoon. . .

                                                   On Crooked Creek!




Until next time. . .

Thanks for the ideas. There's always something new to learn and improve on in this mad internet world. Uptiming is surely something to keep an eye on.
