We look forward to serving you.

      On Saturday we had a baby shower for thirty two guests.  Tricia from West Bloomfield had a arranged a memorable occassion for her guests.  The party favors and centerpieces were lovely.  A “high tea”  service was provided.  The party-goers had a scrapbooking table, an abundance of games-fun.

     Sunday brought twenty-seven guests for Julies baby girl shower.  The highlight was the most creative gifts we have ever seen to date.  “High Tea” was served with an interesting variation.  Instead of tea sandwiches our delicious brocolli quiche tarts were served with a champagne glass of fresh fruit and orange sherbet.

     We also served our “Friendship Tea” to guests who reserved this experience.  Poems are provided upon arrival.  Ginger’s created an original blend of tea for this ocassion.  Scones and tea sandwiches followed and a chocolate fondue with fresh strawberries and marshmellows are provided for dipping.  An assortment of mini cupcakes and squares were the sweet treat offering.

Laughter and joy filled the aisle.  The menu was tomato basil soup followed by chicken salad croissants with our homemade carrot salad.  The surprise dessert was Christmas petite fours, one chocolate and one vanilla filled with strawberry cream.

Merry Shower to All

And to all

a Good Day!

(My grandmother would tell me to add a “pinch of this and that.  At the time I wondered what exact quantity she meant.  Soulful cooking gives you permission to feel and sense - so a pinch is a sprinkle  that you feel is right.)        

♥ you may add chopped fresh or dried parsley or chives if you desire                            

Mix together. 

Drop of 1 tablespoon of mixture into olive oil over medium-high heat.  Fry and turn when one side is browned.     

Be prepared for basic goodness!        

     *If you want to embrace your Soulful self more deeply, add small quantities of other ingredients you like.  For example:  chopped bacon, ham, sausage, peppers, etc.  Melt your favorite cheese with dill on top.  Give      yourself permission to “play outside the box” in your kitchen.     To celebrate St Patrick’s Day at the café, I am making the “Luck of the Irish” potato pancakes with corned beef and sauerkraut served with homemade applesauce.  A treat “To Live For”. 

Enjoy the ♥ and Soul of cooking.  Your kitchen or mine.
