Today's cuppa: tea with all the trimmings
My love for the brewed beverage does extend beyond this blog. As I am bi-beveragal, enjoying both coffee and tea, I am known to frequent coffeehouses and, on occasion, go out for a full-blown afternoon tea -- pinkies up and all.
Last week, I headed to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library in Simi Valley, Calif., for a "First Lady's Tea and Tour," honoring Nancy Reagan and marking a temporary exhibit of her informal and formal outfits from her White House years.
Here's a few shots of lovely table settings and delicacies -- which received the seal of approval from my mentor in all things tea, the estimable Tia Cupps (previously interviewed here). Click on images for a larger version.
The Library also includes the Air Force One that Reagan used during his presidency. Here are some shots of that from an earlier visit.
And just for fun, here's Saturday's sunset in Los Angeles, made spectacular by the very welcome arrival, after weeks of hot Santa Ana winds and fires, of clouds and rain.
