The last time I was invited she served a five course meal in her dining room set with antique lace & china. She came in before each coarse & explained what each one would be then her three teen boys were our waiters. <br /><br />She cooks a lot of wild & foraged foods as well as foods & meat from her own farm. It was worth four or five times what we pay. She & her boys do this just have some fun money. <br /><br />She's invited me to her next one in July & it will be a pie-o-rama. She makes amazing desserts & she'll serve light appetizers then pies with tea or coffee & knowing her, some unusual drinks as well. These are so fun. You should go if you get the chance.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305409125105992525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-23965883547371032702012-06-28T07:09:23.123-04:002012-06-28T07:09:23.123-04:00I have a subscription and find it well worth it.

The idea sounds so appealing but like Michele, I would worry that by law, you can't really serve food without a licence. Otherwise, I am crazy about the idea. To have a tea room has been a dream for a long time. The way I am collecting tea cups and tea things, you would think I am opening one. I guess I have to be satisfied with just hosting friends.Ruthie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524745175086638442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-51951163924876235782012-06-26T22:10:16.922-04:002012-06-26T22:10:16.922-04:00I saw something on TV about pop-up restaurants in ...I saw something on TV about pop-up restaurants in another country.
