Last Saturday my girlfriend, Lori, and I traveled to East Lansing for another of Cristy Bennett's phenomenal teas. This tea was themed after Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Ballet. Like all the others, it was beautiful, but since everything was blue, I especially loved it.

Personalized menu to take home along with a bag of chocolates!
Fresh flowers to take home too!
The three-course high tea began at 1:00 o'clock. Our tea was Blissful Blueberry - a black and green tea from Tealightful Teas.
~ We toasted with Chardonnay White Grape Juice ~
The first course was a chilled Blueberry Soup with a Blueberry-Lemon Pinwheel Scone and Luscious Lemon Curd.
Second course was Herbed Chicken Salad, Blueberry-Feta-Almond Lettuce Salad, and Pimento Cheese Campari Tomato.
The Dessert Course was White Chocolate-Hazelnut Cake.
As always, everything was delicious. There was the sweetest baby girl at her first tea party, dressed in a darling tu-tu. Several got pictures of her, but I wasn't seated close enough to take one. I did get a picture of Cristy and her husband, David, and their poodle, Soapy, in the dining room though.

Thanks, Cristy, for another delightful tea!
