Nobody EXPECTS the Spanish Reposition!!! Taking the Magic Back to the Med 4/10/10

OK, then I suppose I have to make the Edwardian Tea exclusive. I'll use a method, mainly based on whim as to who can attend and who cannot.

(You know, we used to have an annual Christmas tea party at our house. It was a popular event. The very last year we held it, we had 180 people at our house. That's 180 people for a tea party. And I do mean tea party. The ONLY beverage served was hot tea.

I remember people asking what we had to drink, and I responded, "You have anything you want to drink, so long as it's hot tea. We don't do no specials."

(The equally amazing thing is that I had tea cups and luncheon sets for 180).

why did you have tea service for 180????

and I figure that you'll let me know or not if I'm invited. I guess it will be based on my behavior the night before at dinner, or perhaps if I have accumulated enough brownie points over the whole trip, or better yet if you are SCARED of me



Aren't ya glad that I can at least make myself laugh

I'm working in West Virginia doing audits for about two weeks. This week we are staying in St Clairsville, Ohio. I really am not fond of traveling but doing it all in two weeks straight will help me stay home more later.

Doesn't everyone have a tea service for 180? All you need are about 10 tea pots.

what do you do Brack? Me thinks some kind of accounting with talk of audits?

 

[LeftCoastLady]

All the being said, I DO NOT LIKE CHAMPANGE (unless it's Dom)

Champagne is not my most favorite beverage either (although I'm not opposed to some good sipping on occasion). It sounded like a fun thing to do & a way to get to know some of the others at the same time.

I think men should be able to come if they agree to wear a pink shirt....

I totally agree... men should be invited to come, & they should definitely be required to wear pink (most men look good in pink too). They could serve as the CG escorts, or chaperones or ...........

I am an Officer (minister) for The Salvation Army (Major) and my appointment is as the Chief Financial Officer for The Salvation Army's Maryland/West Virginia Division. One of my responsibilities is to oversee the audit of each unit at least once a year.

10 teapots, and about 70 or so luncheon sets. We never really had 180 at one time, about 75 at a time. But we had, 180 people come to tea.

It was the gala winter event. Our tea party was famous. People clamored to get on the guest list.

I only wish I was exaggerating.

Actually it was a hoot. I think what shocked people so much was that they had such a great time and all they were drinking was tea. Plus chowing down on two long tables, packed with cake plates, and tiered cake plates of sweet and savory goodies.

OK, now you're talking! I'd clamor to get on the guest list too!
Did you do all the baking with your own two hands? Heehee

Yes I did all the baking. I studied to be a pastry chef.

I think, among certain circles, that's what they call a gigolo.

Well maybe we need to do a pink tea party rather than champagne! I am not a drinker anyway!
Maybe we can take over ALL of palo for brunch...LOL

That's a good idea! I'd love to be in a "party" of some sort, but even though I'll be 21 on the cruise I still won't drink. Or I suppose those of us who don't drink could have Sprite and pretend it's champagne.

I think you should draw my name out of a hat... Just make sure my name is in there enough to get drawn out...

And aren't you glad we didn't throw you guys a shower??? You just would have gotten at least another 5 tea sets from us...
