Want to go to a Holiday Tea at Something Special?

One of my favorite tea room cookbooks is this weathered old copy of "Favorite Recipes from Something Special" by Martha Sue McCain. The book features recipes from the former tea room on Greenville Street here in Newnan, which is now a special events facility. Happily, these "special events" will include a Holiday Tea on Saturday, Dec. 13, and I thought I'd go ahead and spread the word for any Tea With Friends readers who live within driving distance and might care to go!

Owner Mike Meyer sent word earlier this week that there will be a Holiday Tea on Saturday, Dec. 13, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and guests may come tour the 1859 Antebellum home "decked out for the holidays" and enjoy some delicious catering selections. The menu will include Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup, Cranberry Scones, Chicken Salad on Raisin Bread, Pimento Cheese Sandwiches, Fresh Fruit, Cheese Straws, a Holiday Dessert, Black Tea and Water. Cost is $16.95 per person (plus 7 percent tax and 18 percent gratuity).

That sounds like a great deal, and great fun, to me! Interested? I'm going, and I thought I'd see if any of you locals (or non-locals, for that matter!) would like to sign up as well, because it would be lots of fun if quite a few of us all plan to go at the same time. If you're interested, just contact me through the e-mail button at right. Thanks!

  2. Amazing that we're talking about Holiday Teas already, but Christmas really isn't that far off. I wish I could attend with you, but I'll go vicariously when you blog about it.

  3. Oh, that does sound like fun. Unfortunately my December calendar is already filling up and that's a little far (though closer than some, it's still 3 hours or so one way) for me to go. I will look forward to reading all about it, though.
