Thank You Afternoon Tea

I'm exhausted, for good reason.  We're home from an over 5 hour afternoon tea (after 15 hours of planning and preparing).  A set of friends have treated us very well.  To thank them, we set today (months ago) as a day to present them with an elaborate afternoon tea in their home.  I'll be brief with just the basic information, but will go into more detail at a later date.

1.)  Larry's Original Chai (famous in Felton, CA)
CSA Butternut Squash, CSA Acorn Squash, CSA Apple & Pomegranate Soup

2.)  T & T's "Lucky in Love" Tea
Tea Sandwiches:  Turkey, Chicken, Egg, & Cucumber/Tomato

3.)  Sabah Ginger Tea from Borneo
White Chocolate and Peppermint Scone with Candy Cane Cream

Pomegranate Sorbet

4.)  Three-Chocolate Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows
Lavender Shortbread, Divine Delights Petit Fours, TKO Brownies, Chocolate Covered CSA Strawberries, CSA Apple/Raisin Galette

Absolutely fabulous, and a lot of fun!  Worth the work, but not something one wants to do daily.
