We do kedgeree, and full english breakfast, and roast dinners and fish + chips and millions of other scrummy things....I really think you need to pay us a visit...!!!! x

Got so carried away on the muffins, etc., forgot to add that Tibbe and I will get there as soon as we can! You just tell us when and we will stop by for Sugarmamma and her York's and we'll all have a cream tea together with you in merry olde England!

Watching the Oscars when my darling neighbor brought me over about 4 lbs. of just-grilled chicken breasts and 2 or 3 steaks, all marinaded with the most delish flavors and grilled with whole baby onions and several types of peppers, the meat all blackened to a farethewell all over and just so good it is almost impossible to stop after a couple of bites. The smell is permeating the whole house! I've already had dinner so have no room to add anything tonight but Tibbe did get a good bit of a sirloin. He's in Yorkie heaven - he loves a good steak. My neighbor is a chef and cooks like an angel!

That's where I got the idea - from watching UD and getting carried away with Rose's dulcet tones as she quotes that passage about the toast and muffins.

Actually, my sister and I took a college semester course called "The British Way of Tea" back in the 1990's and we learned about British teas, the culture of tea, what p high tea really is, issues of china, proper teapots, baked and prepared all the British goodies over the 5 months from a high tea to a cream tea, learned of clotted cream crusts, fat content, etc., sampled all kinds of exotic and every day teas and ended our course with a tea at Dallas' "The Mansion" on Turtle Creek Boulevard one lovely spring afternoon. Lord, I'll bet each of us gained 5 lbs. that spring and stayed on a caffeine/sugar/carbohydrate high the whole time. We often have our cream teas to this day. I can do a credible cucumber sandwich and even make crumpets! Don't much care for scones but with enough butter/clotted cream and jam or thick-cut marmalade, they will do! Much, much fun. Beats the heck of the American coffee break if you ask me!

Now I'm hungry again!

Aha!! Now I know where you're coming from!! Plain muffins though - I don't think blueberries were invented 'over here' way back then.... Also the blazing log fires don't really exist much anymore - we all tend to huddle round one radiator as fuel bills keep rocketing....!!!! Apart from in Ye Olde English pubs, of course!

And I love the sound of your Course - I'm sure you'd put us all to shame...goodness me, these food threads always make me need to eat!!

Woo hoo! And what a giggle we'd all have....!!!
