Afternoon tea

<p>We had Ciaran's parents for tea this afternoon.  I decided to serve sandwiches and apple tart with cream.  I got the apple tart in the <a href="http://www.thebutlerspantry.ie/">Butler's Pantry</a> and also picked up a fudge cake in Superquinn. I made a round of crumbled ham & cheese sandwiches.  I would normally make much fancier canapes when having friends for afternoon tea but I think older people like more traditional simple food. Pots of tea helped wash down the food.</p><div class='separator' style='clear: both; text-align: center;'> <a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcpviJM71qjsfis98L6RUKiRsyMGos3kbvJjUO1f2DgHuNfwt3aC0V4P6D_SnkSvRe1D7KcvW7k4yP0NrrVjCwkahtLkyl0vd3IF8iukJPAHQ_XPyaD0bxWl9fmOiSq5AgMMw38Byj1LGf/s1600/20130319_143105.jpg' imageanchor='1' style='margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;'> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcpviJM71qjsfis98L6RUKiRsyMGos3kbvJjUO1f2DgHuNfwt3aC0V4P6D_SnkSvRe1D7KcvW7k4yP0NrrVjCwkahtLkyl0vd3IF8iukJPAHQ_XPyaD0bxWl9fmOiSq5AgMMw38Byj1LGf/s400/20130319_143105.jpg" /> </a> </div><div class='separator' style='clear: both; text-align: center;'> <a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5XQLbE5tQ9z8YCn33NG67BkyCDDrfKAh8lvFYxZt80l9Lt8HKqka6GVNIeB8-DdIZd5cMCaHySgPlVYSH7jmBF9l8Hr1rm-9qpkHZv2Tmj7Uf1xnHcd9M2bXsDc0B_pGuoJzXwePMBMe_/s1600/20130319_133127.jpg' imageanchor='1' style='margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;'> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5XQLbE5tQ9z8YCn33NG67BkyCDDrfKAh8lvFYxZt80l9Lt8HKqka6GVNIeB8-DdIZd5cMCaHySgPlVYSH7jmBF9l8Hr1rm-9qpkHZv2Tmj7Uf1xnHcd9M2bXsDc0B_pGuoJzXwePMBMe_/s400/20130319_133127.jpg" /> </a> </div><div class='separator' style='clear: both; text-align: center;'> <a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5HB53ihrwjY6f9cYg4UKL-a5IbOvFI2sKHUipUCrIUGXHBlfyES54pdJ7yDxIPUI3S8brqcouDUlDIqwei9yoxFRJFAkviqgMP40tJ37YRECIjjRVp3bWcHfLlyNK3MynBNOdlPHIFxjd/s1600/20130319_143000.jpg' imageanchor='1' style='margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;'> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5HB53ihrwjY6f9cYg4UKL-a5IbOvFI2sKHUipUCrIUGXHBlfyES54pdJ7yDxIPUI3S8brqcouDUlDIqwei9yoxFRJFAkviqgMP40tJ37YRECIjjRVp3bWcHfLlyNK3MynBNOdlPHIFxjd/s400/20130319_143000.jpg" /> </a> </div><div class='separator' style='clear: both; text-align: center;'> <a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_uQ8QbTnrthCVZjudRA_Gp75BJm4D-_uk8XrU9FM3-0hGtcAVTUvpcoBFg3tGMqx38Et8ew5hXi8eySPeORNSk0rrvPisT97Gai6IfPWl40N_7XBbx-ThlRrWu3NnTBWRL092Dvk5rs0q/s1600/20130319_133119.jpg' imageanchor='1' style='margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;'> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_uQ8QbTnrthCVZjudRA_Gp75BJm4D-_uk8XrU9FM3-0hGtcAVTUvpcoBFg3tGMqx38Et8ew5hXi8eySPeORNSk0rrvPisT97Gai6IfPWl40N_7XBbx-ThlRrWu3NnTBWRL092Dvk5rs0q/s400/20130319_133119.jpg" /> </a> </div>
