Anticipation ~ Part 2

-
As we prepared the menu...we took into account the "likes" of those who were going to attend. One of our guests happens to LOVE caramelized onions, so we decided to offer a more unusual tea time savory -- our famous Onion Pie (the recipe is in our Cookbook Vol. II). With that as one of the "focal" points, we decided a great compliment to this entree would be a Roast Beef Croissant Sandwich, from there, other things began to evolve...here's what we came up with:


Jane Austen Movie Tea with Friends
Saturday, March 27, 2010 - 11 a.m.

Cheesy Olive Bites & Asparagus Roll Appetizers

Caramelized Onion Pie
Roast Beef W/Horseradish Sauce on Croissant
Classic Cucumber
Tucson Savory (Guest Bringing)

Cream Scones with Lemon Curd & Freshly Whipped Cream

Cherry Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting
Swedish Tea Cookies
Two other Sweets (Guests Bringing)

A Variety of Fragrant Teas


Our friends wanted to contributed to the gathering, so they are bringing a few yummy treats! Thinking the menu looks pretty good so far....will update with pictures once the event is held...Continuing to Anticipate!!!
