High Tea at the Library
We had a proper English High Tea at the library Monday, May 19. Representatives and members of the book clubs that meet here at the library attended and spoke about the books they have been reading and future selections.
Of course the highlight of the tea was the food. Along with plentiful pots of piping hot tea (must remember decaf next time) open face cucumber, olive, pecan cream cheese, and turkey, cranberry, cornbread sandwiches were served buffet style. Also fresh baked scones, fresh lemon curd and Devonshire cream were in enjoyed. Fresh strawberries dipped in confectioners sugar, banana and raisin bread, and pound cake and fairy cakes gave us something more to put our Devonshire cream on.
Folks that were at this gathering seemed to really enjoy it and asked for the recipes of the food served so please find below links to some of the recipes used. This event was sponsored by the Friends of the Fairborn Library and was open to all who wished to attend.
Turkey and Cranberry Corn Muffins
Lynn’s Awesome Open Face Cucumber Sandwiches
Cream together 2 softened 8 ounce packages of light cream cheese, 1/2 cup light mayonnaise, and 1 envelope Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix. This will cover 2 loaves of Pepperidge Farm’s Party Rye. Top with slice of cucumber and sprig of dill. Enjoy!
Because of the success of this event please look for more High Teas to be occurring at the library in the future. You’ll have time to get your hats ready!
