    My daughter was watching with me and said, "I can't believe she does all of that for her family!" It made me think I better step it up and go back to doing tea party breakfasts like I used to do for them. Thanks for this beautiful reminder! Everything looked stunning and so yummy!

    These videos have inspired me to treat my family like guests..I didn't realize I would go so out of my way for other people and my family would get the leftovers. Not anymore! I made boston cream pie cupcakes for our dessert over the weekend and it was delightful. Thank you Jennifer 😌💕

    My Grandmother used to have that pattern of tableware. It reminds me of being a child. I am in England.x

    I always enjoy your videos. But I have to tell you this one really turned on the light bulb above my head! I have been making fudge every holiday season for years but for some reason I always cooked my syrup and added the chocolate etc to the pan ,mixed it and then poured it!! Your way is so obviously better. Thank you!!!
    I spent 40 yrs juggling motherhood and a career that entailed weekends and emergencies six and seven days a week. Now I'm retired and work only part-time, love my life and at 66 discovered the joy art and love of homemaking. Thank you for your part in my journey.

    Very lovely tea! We just had a Christmas tea yesterday for my moms birthday. We have been having tea parties since I was a little girl and my daughter also who is now 26 and expecting her own little girl in April. My grandma used to have tea parties with us too before she passed. We had Earl Grey and Rose teas. We also had cucumber sandwiches, open faced smoked salmon capes and cream cheese, chicken salad on croissants, Brie and cranberry mini tarts, almond scones with raspberry preserves, lemon curd and clotted cream, mini tiramisu, petit fores (sp?) and pastachiotti and chocolate coconut clusters. It was a lot but we were celebrating my moms birthday so we went all out!

    Just beautiful. I've had Christmas china packed away in boxes for years and this year, you inspired me to finally use it. It makes all of our meals just a little more special.

    Beautiful❤️ I just put on a tea for daughter, who turned 19, we did 19 for Nat. Nineteen of her favorite dishes and drinks for her and her closest girlfriends. It was a lot of work and way too much food! But a beautiful time was had by all.

    How beautiful! My mother invited me in to her world of delighting in details and beautiful tableware. I remember joining her for ladies’ teas in church and feeling so honored and special. I have a close friend who thinks teas and all of the little bites are ridiculous and this makes me so sad. How lovely to see videos like this and comments from people who appreciate this tradition.

    • @kimberlyperrotis8962
      @kimberlyperrotis8962 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love afternoon tea, hors d’ouerves, tapas, mezedes (Greek, similar to tapas), and all the little-bite meals, more flavors to enjoy!

    I wanted the spode in this video, but didn't purchase any.
    Today my mom told me she was in a thrift store and she saw some china from England that she had a feeling she was supposed to get for me. She brought it over and it looks almost identical to your spode, but the tree has a star on the top. I hadn't told anyone I wanted it! Oh and my china cabinet is like yours, but brown. Now I just have to make these recipes and have a Daily Connoisseur tea party 😀 Merry Christmas 🎄

    Oh dear Jennifer, what a beautiful afternoon tea. Thank you for sharing it with us. How I enjoy these tea videos of yours - allowing us a seat in your kitchen as you carefully craft so many delicious treats, and then again at the table, as you and your precious children (who are growing up so fast! wow!) enjoy the tasty creations you have so lovingly made. You never cease to inspire me; I can't wait to try to make some of these wonderful recipes for my own family. Always grateful to you for all that you share throughout the year. Wishing you and your beloved family a most blessed and Merry Christmas, too. God love you all! xoxo

    Looks lovely! We have a national treasure in the U.K., namely Mary Berry. If you don’t know who I mean, she’s a very gracious lady in her 80’s, a home cook who has written many cookery books and has her own cookery programme on TV. One of her episodes was afternoon tea. She says, if you make everything small, including the scones, you can fit in a bit of everything! So you could use a small cookie cutter for the scones in case anyone feels too full trying to eat a whole one. 🙂
    I must try the cranberry and orange!
    Your Christmas china is beautiful.

    Jennifer, I so admire what you've done with your beautiful TH-cam channel. Just when I think your videos can't get any better...voila! You've got delicious and calming content like this!! When I watch your videos, I see a woman who loves her life. Who loves God and her family, and who wants to share gracious living with like-minded people all over the world. Thank you for sharing your gifts, your channel and your books bring such joy to my life!! Your daughters look beautiful. What a wonderful way to share time with them in the kitchen and at the table. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to watch if your little boys were able to dive into this delectable feast! ;) Much love to you and your family this Christmas season!!

    I really enjoyed this video. It inspired me to make the cranberry-orange scones. I also made homemade lemon curd and homemade clotted cream! I used the whey left from the clotted cream to make the scones. I also froze my butter and grated it into the batter. They were delicious! I did a variation of the roast beef sandwich earlier in the week. I did use caramelized onions (delicious!), but I used swiss cheese, homemade horseradish sauce and ciabatta bread. I love these kinds of videos.

    Looks amazing! I’ve never made scones, but I’m going to give it a try. I think having an afternoon tea for my family would be such fun, especially as we are all missing the typical social festivities held during this time of year. Also, you managed to put together a menu that my entire picky family would love! Thanks for the inspiration! ❤️😋

I think you've convinced me! Not that it takes much to convince me to bake some scones and sit down with a cup of tea! Thank you for the video!

    I enjoyed a homemade apple pie bar with my coffee while watching your afternoon tea. I just pretended I was invited. :)
    Also, Jennifer, you seem to eat so eclectically. Is there anything you really don't like? I've stretched my palette over the years but still feel like I can be picky.

    My lovely mother was a real social maven (politician's wife). She made her finger sandwiches by stacking the whole sandwiches and cutting them with an electric knife. She could cut more sandwiches in less time and it didn't squish the bread.
    Everything looks so lovely. I've been thinking about having a Christmas tea this year and I will definitely make the cucumber salmon treats. I really enjoy your videos.
