Today I finally made it to the grocery store! I am purchasing from my list for the lovely dinners I have planned for my imaginary cruise with author Susan Branch on the Queen Mary 2! (Susan is actually traveling with her husband and about 100 Girlfriends on the real life Queen Mary 2 from New York to Southampton).
The QM2 offers a traditional and elegant afternoon tea each afternoon from 3:30 to 4:30 where waiters in white gloves serve tea sandwiches, scones and lovely desserts in the Queens Room as part of your ticket price. We definitely don't want to leave out this very special experience from our cruise!
I have found some great inexpensive trays at Dollar Tree and plan to make a variety of fillings for our crust less sandwiches. With time slipping away from me I will be purchasing scones and pastries. I did score a box of frozen Macaroons at Aldi.
Me and my little captains will be moving tea time to 11:30 a.m. and enjoying our repast during episodes of Paw Patrol.
If you do not want to stick to the precise menu for tea sandwiches, you could do cucumber ones, chicken and ham salad ones and use shaped cookie cutters to cut out the bread.The kids would love sandwiches in shapes!! How exciting!!! You are making me want to host a tea again!!!
