Earlier this week I stopped by my friend Devi’s home for a holiday tea to cheer her up and to get her mind off the pain she is still in from her knee-replacement surgery a few weeks ago.
Rose and I were determined to get Devi into the holiday spirit and distract her from her discomfort even if it was just for a couple of hours. From the looks of it we accomplished our objective, as Devi seemed to be enjoying herself on this afternoon 😊😀.
As is typical of Devi she couldn’t help but lay out a delectable spread, despite recovering from her surgery. With an array of delicious pastries and appetizers to feast on, it turned out to be a very festive gathering to celebrate the holidays and our very special friendship.
On the Menu:
Cocktail samosas
Semolina idlis
Dhokla – Savory Indian chickpea dumplings
Almond orange cake
Chai
Fresh fruit
My Dad, Rose and I skipped lunch so we could enjoy this delectable spread 😋
The three of us have been exchanging presents over the Christmas holidays for more years than I can count, and this year was just as special.
It is truly heart warming to spend an afternoon with close friends, tea, and conversation ☕️😊😍
Happy Holidays Everybody!
