Yeah, it would have been nice if I'd thought to take a photograph of this before I and my coworkers descended upon it like hyenas on voles.
Wow, was the food at The T Room in Montrose great! Most of us ordered the traditional tea and you could substitute other sandwiches from the menu. Mmm. The Lingonberry Chicken was surprisingly good. Watercress & cucumber may have been my favorite, with the Olivade coming in a close second.
Big pots of tea--we ordered the Noel blend and the Russian blend--on the table. Happiness. We celebrated Christmas and Momalisa's birthday. Food was wonderful, service was slow for our party of eight. It took about 20 minutes before they even brought us the tea, which came when the sandwiches and scones were ready.
My only food complaint was the fruitcake style candied fruit in the scones. I mean, yuck.
Everyone rose above the ominous fact that this is our last meal together for the foreseeable future. We will be working on kind of an on-call basis in January, a day or two a week maybe. I don't want to write about it.
The top of the Christmas tree, which everyone encouraged me to get a shot of... Scarily over-decorated for my taste.
Weens exhibits the classic tea room decorum one would expect of a lady. We're so proud!
[Hey, she reads this blog. She knew the risk she was taking!]
Looking up Honolulu Avenue from outside the T Room. Didn't get any good pix of the outside of the T Room. It's not terribly photogenic.
Weens pointed out this angel down the street, in front of an art gallery.
We went back to the office and opened our Secret Santa gifts from each other, and our gifts from the owners. Lovely cashmere scarves, all different colors. So soft and lovely.
I'm sleeping in mine.

I think that is the prettiest angel I've seen.
Hi, Noel... I thought of you this morning as I brewed up some of the Noel tea I bought there.
