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!
