A Valentine's Day Tea - February 14, 2025

Valentine's Day was celebrated in Sweet Remembrances on Friday, February 14th. Shades of pink and red, coupled with hearts galore adorned the tables and shelves around the tea room in preparation for a festive event. Guests arrived in their rosy red outfits, eager to enjoy the first celebratory tea of the new year.


The first course featured
a Mixed Berry Salad with a sweet Poppyseed Dressing. It included strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries along with Feta cheese and sugared pecans. A chilled Forever Yours Spritzer added to the rosy shades of the day. Forever Yours is a herbal blend available at the Rosemary House.

The array of tea sandwiches prominently featured hearts. At the top of the plate, there is a Chicken Salad Caprese in a fluted heart. There was a Ham Salad on Whole Wheat Bread. The large heart was a warm red pepper and swiss cheese toast. The French bread held the Bistro Beef bites topped with a petite heart cutout. The Rye bread in the shape of a heart was filled with our Herbed Party Spread, and in the center of the plate was a warm Strawberry and Brie Tartlet topped with pecans..

For the scone course, we served our Traditional English Cream Scone cutout in the shape of a heart. That was served alongside a glazed Double Chocolate Chip Scone. Sweet Cream and strawberry jelly were the accompaniments for the scones. And a Fudgy Topped Strawberry and a strawberry cut to resemble a heart completed the plate. Check out the little white chocolate hearts tucked into the fudge topping. Yum!

The dessert medley included a Rose is a Rose White Cake, a Pink Peppermint Cookie, and a White Chocolate Glazed Shortbread Heart.
HAPPY  VALENTINE'S DAY!
