Celebrating the Tea Party

The final reading for Political Science 332 was Theda Skocpol and Vanessa Williamson’s book, The Tea Party and the Remaking of American Conservatism.

The students convinced me to have a real tea party to add some frivolity to our discussion of the book.  Inspired by their interest–and by an evening on my own–I went cook crazy.

Here’s the menu:

  • Currant Scones
  • Mock Devonshire Cream
  • Lemon Curd
  • Smoked Salmon and Cucumber Sandwiches
  • Egg Salad Sandwiches
  • Scotch Eggs
  • 3 layer patriotic red white and blue Mickey Mouse jello mold

I stopped counting the eggs and heavy cream at the scotch eggs, but rolling six eggs in a pound of pork sausage and then frying them was a real experience!

Here’s the pictures for hungry (and envious) readers!
