Oh, my.... sardines on toast!

ummmmmm......can I skip those??????

After I read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" out loud to my daughter's (She is my eldest and lives about three hours away from CEK and 90 min from Eastcoast) second grade class, I had a Mr. Tumnus Tea party at which I also served MnM's and potato chips as stand ins for Turkish Delight, which I then did not know how to make but do now.  Only a couple of children were adventurous and brave enough to eat the sardines on toast.  The rest politely said, "No thank you." and skipped it.  
 

LOL....I would be with the "no thank you group"

Close, April!!! Good for you!!! It means someone comes to get you to go somewhere and it refers to them knocking on the door. YEA!!!!! You get a PRIZE!!!!!!

WHOOT, WHOOT!!!!!  so we don't have to worry if Len says he "knocked up" Val??????......LOL.....ok couldn't resist....LOL

I absolutely love him, and he’s an incredible person. We have this friendship that I have no doubt in my mind is a life-long friendship.  Getting a chance to know him away from training for Dancing With the Stars, I think we've gotten a chance to know each other in a different way, which of course just makes you closer.

We fell in love, but our way. Maks

When I was in grade school.... we had a teacher who made Stone Soup for us.

Remember that tale?
 

I DO!!!!!  but I remember it from an episode of "Little House on the Prairie"!!!!

April, I think it is you who said something about not having made tea this way before.  I was in Borders bookstore (when there still was one here in DeKalb) and told a friend about heating the tea pot with boiling water before you brew the actual tea and the huge difference this makes in the flavor.   I was telling the friend because she wanted to know why the tea she had at my house was so different from her tea.  Ten or so days later I was back at Borders, and a lady I did not know stopped me.  She had overheard what I said to the friend, didn't believe me but decided to heat the pot first with the boiling water just to prove her point.  She stopped me because she was so surprised at how differently it tasted and wanted to say "thank you."  It was a lovely gesture. 

 
That is something they do in China when they give a tea making demonstration.
