Derby means tea time

There's something so civilized about proper English tea, served with scones and clotted cream and on fancy china with fine silver. I have fond memories of my first English tea, at the venerable Strand Hotel in downtown Rangoon, Burma, where the British obviously had plenty of influence over the years. As Polly wrote for today's Enquirer, Churchill's in downtown Cincinnati's Tower Place Mall have a queen's tea of their own in early May. I also came across this Cream Tea in the Garden, free (but space is limited) at Macy's Kenwood this Saturday. It's 11am to 12:30pm this Saturday; call 513-247-6411 for reservations. Give us a shout out if you make it - and don't forget to raise your pinky finger just so as you hold your teacup ever so daintily.
